Hiding toilet smells is up there on many people’s lists.
While you can make your way through the array of storebought (who knows what’s in them), there’s a simpler way.
What can I use as a natural air freshener?
Instead of bulky sprays occupying your toilet, place a few drops of your favourite essential oil directly on the inside of a toilet paper tube.
Each time someone pulls some toilet paper off the roll, they’ll be hit with the fresh scent of whatever your chosen essential oil is.
Just make sure you don’t get any of it on the actual toilet paper. Some oils may irritate the skin.
Which essential oil should you use?
The essential oil you use is entirely up to you, but a few drops of a citrus scent, such as grapefruit or lime, would work well. Alternatively, you can’t go wrong with something floral like jasmine or lavender. But it really comes down to personal preference.
Banish toilet smells
The toilet roll isn’t the only place to add a few drops of essential oil. You can add 2-3 drops of eucalyptus or tea tree oil to the toilet bowl. Not only do both of these scents contain cleaning properties, but they are also excellent at absorbing odours.
