It takes ongoing work, and just when you think you&rsquo;ve finished, some strange patch or smell appears. And while the bathroom is normally a location that no one wants to clean, it might actually be the simplest if you employ certain techniques. In fact, it might even become such a lovely and deliciously scented place that no one will ever grumble about having to clean it again.\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Keep your towels dry\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Storing towels when they\u2019re still damp is a bad idea in any room of the house. But if you do it in the bathroom, it\u2019s especially bad as it\u2019s a very humid room. It\u2019s advised to dry towels, just after using them, in the sun. Then you can hang them again in the bathroom when they\u2019re a bit dry, but it\u2019s better if you keep them somewhere even drier. In addition, it\u2019s also very important to wash them frequently and to hang them instead of folding them when storing them.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"356\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/1777195f3ebcda53054efa6225.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22907\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1777195f3ebcda53054efa6225.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Take advantage of\u00a0the acidic power of\u00a0lemon\n\n\n\n</h2><p>The lemon is one of your best friends when it comes to cleaning and removing bad smells. Besides leaving a pleasant aroma and neutralizing bad odors, it\u2019s a powerful natural cleaner. These properties come from the high levels of citric acid it contains. Ideally, the way you should use lemon is by rubbing it all over your bathroom after cleaning things with your everyday household detergent. This way, its effect will last longer on surfaces and it will get the job done.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"356\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/053b695877a11f95819a736b2f.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22908\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/053b695877a11f95819a736b2f.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Aromatize with oils\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Aromatic oils are great allies when it comes to perfuming your home and avoiding bad smells. Clearly, these also apply to your bathroom. The key to using aromatic oils in this particular room is to soak a cotton ball in baby oil \u2014 or any other essential oil of your choice \u2014 and strategically place it around the bathroom. For example, you can place one inside the wastebasket before putting a liner in it so that every time you open it, the whole room will be filled with a nice aroma. Another good place is in the toilet paper roll or the mug or glass in which you keep your toothbrush.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"305\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/dda3105e0eb117abaa8807e229.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22910\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/dda3105e0eb117abaa8807e229.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Combine water and softener\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Here\u2019s another good hack to\u00a0ensure that your towels always smell good, especially those that you use most often (like hand towels and such). Since these towels are constantly exposed to\u00a0bad smells and bacteria from your skin, you can spray a\u00a0mixture of\u00a0water and fabric softener on\u00a0them. A\u00a0mix\u00a0of\u00a0water, baking soda, and fabric softener can also be\u00a0used as\u00a0a\u00a0DIY room freshener.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"457\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/2349235b9bb0b50b81dde74d4b.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22912\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2349235b9bb0b50b81dde74d4b.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Rely on\u00a0baking soda.\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Another household cleaning product we can always rely on is baking soda. Baking soda is already well known for getting rid of even the nastiest and toughest odors. Ideally, you should use it in your cleaning routine by combining it with boiling water. You can then use the resulting mix by pouring it onto surfaces you want to clean. Let it sit for a while before removing it. If you really want it to go a long way, you can combine this method with the cleaning suggestions from point 2.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"407\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/d1e17854f2a86d908f6406a678.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22914\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/d1e17854f2a86d908f6406a678.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Make perfume for your toilet brush\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Despite what many people believe, the toilet brush is not sentenced to be forever nasty and smelly. On the contrary, it can actually become a great way to make your bathroom smell pleasant. In fact, one of the top-secret and most effective hacks hotel owners use is to scent their toilet brushes. Yep, you read that right, they scent the toilet brush. After finishing your cleaning session, it\u2019s recommended to add a few drops of essential oil to the brush so that it evaporates, little by little, while leaving a pleasant scent behind.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"305\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/a9c48a5fbb892fe52f1b1332ad.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22916\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/a9c48a5fbb892fe52f1b1332ad.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Add detergent to\u00a0the toilet tank\n\n\n\n</h2><p>In addition to all the products available to make the water running through the toilet fresher, there is also a little tip you can use to make it extra aromatic. Just add a little detergent (that has a pleasant scent, of course) to the water that will be released once you press the handle down to flush. That way, it will release a pleasant and vibrant scent that will linger in the air for a long time.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"457\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/5d1721536d82ac173498f57c6b.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22918\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/5d1721536d82ac173498f57c6b.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Make homemade air fresheners\n\n\n\n</h2><p>For some time now, making homemade air fresheners has become a&nbsp;sort of&nbsp;trend that many people decided to&nbsp;embrace, mainly because of&nbsp;how practical and inexpensive the whole idea is&nbsp;compared to&nbsp;buying traditional products. Making a&nbsp;homemade air freshener is&nbsp;actually quite simple. The only things you\u2019ll&nbsp;<a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.youtube.com%5C/watch?v=yb536ToIDa0%5C%22" target='\"_blank\"' rel='\"noreferrer' noopener>need&nbsp;are a&nbsp;nice glass bottle, sticks, water, alcohol, and your favorite essential oils. If&nbsp;you have not yet decided which oil you like most, we\u2019ve made a&nbsp;short list of&nbsp;the most popular oils that people typically use to&nbsp;add a&nbsp;scent to&nbsp;their homes.\n\n\n\n<ul class='\"wp-block-list\"'><li>Lavender</li><li>Tea tree</li><li>Eucalyptus</li><li>Peppermint</li><li>Sweet orange</li><li>Lemongrass\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Ventilate the room on\u00a0a\u00a0daily basis\n\n\n\n</h2><p>In addition to all of the above, the simplest and healthiest hack of all is the most obvious one: allow air to circulate through the bathroom. Ventilating the room will allow any bad odors to flow out. It is recommended for you to open the windows every day for at least 15 minutes, which according to electric companies, should be enough to make sure fresh air comes in without you having to spend too much energy reheating the place during the winter months, for example. Not only will you breathe in better air, but any viruses or bacteria that may have accumulated since the last time you ventilated the place will also be gone.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"356\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/e3853e51fbb7332c1844939b5d.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22920\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/e3853e51fbb7332c1844939b5d.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Place aromatic soaps in\u00a0the bathroom\n\n\n\n</h2><p>A\u00a0very important thing to\u00a0take into account when thinking about bathroom scents is\u00a0the\u00a0choice\u00a0of\u00a0soap you use. Depending on\u00a0what your preferences are, you might choose to\u00a0use an\u00a0unscented soap or\u00a0a\u00a0combination of\u00a0different scented soaps. In\u00a0any case, what\u2019s clear is\u00a0that the scent they give off will affect the smell of\u00a0the room in\u00a0general. If\u00a0what you want to\u00a0achieve is\u00a0a\u00a0space with a\u00a0pleasant fragrance, choose scented soaps, especially if\u00a0they\u2019re going to\u00a0be\u00a0exposed, like on\u00a0the sink, for example.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"356\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/c2968c552a8f01b0fd017f0ff1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-22924\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c2968c552a8f01b0fd017f0ff1.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Keeping our homes clean is a very important yet difficult chore.
