10 natural air fresheners
A fragrant house is the dream of any housewife. We admit that even an ideal husband will not give bouquets every day, and store fresheners contain “chemistry”. There is a solution: here are 10 ideas for natural home fragrances.
Orange fruit crusts are a universal remedy. They can be peeled and seasoned; you can even make compote from them. But we are now interested in their aromatic properties. Scented rind can be a freshener on its own and with ginger, vanilla and cinnamon. There are hundreds of ways to prepare flavors on the Internet, for any scent and color.
The perfect scent for your office or car – the scent of coffee helps you cheer up and pull yourself together. In addition, this natural product absorbs foreign odors well. To make a freshener, you will need burlap, beans of your favorite coffee, nylon threads or a thin cord and a glue gun. Make a small pouch, iron it, fill it with grains and tie it with a string. If you wish, you can decorate the product with a decor of your choice.
Tea can impart its flavor to any fabric, so you can use this property to make dry tea bags into sachets for linen and wardrobes. Flavored spicy teas, herbal blends are suitable for this idea. You just need to place fragrant bags next to the laundry – and the fragrance is guaranteed.
In order to bring the exquisite scent of a rose into your home, you don’t need to invent and buy anything. Just dry the presented bouquet, and then crumble the petals into a beautiful jar. When the freshener loses its scent, add a drop of rose oil to it and the scent will return.
Do you want to feel the forest scent? Take a couple of pine needles, add bay leaves to them and put them in a cup. It is easy to “turn on” the air freshener – just break the needles.
Cinnamon is not only a fragrant condiment, but also an excellent base for a home air freshener. There are a lot of options: you can pour the spice with water and heat it up every time you want to enhance the smell, you can make a candle from cinnamon sticks, pasting wax on the sides, you can make a sachet. It all depends on your taste and the effort you want to spend.
Like a rose, lavender is very easy to dry. But it is better to make a sachet out of it. Place the finished bag under the pillow or on the bedside table. The scent of lavender soothes and brings wonderful dreams.
Soda is a very sensitive product to aromas, so it absorbs unpleasant odors by itself. If this is not enough for you, just cover half a jar of baking soda and add 8-12 drops of essential oil and shake. The budget air freshener is ready.
Fresh mint (or peppermint essence) can also refresh itself and dilute other flavors: the leaves of the plant are a great addition to any sachet set, as well as a liquid lime freshener. It will give its pleasant smell of mint to food, but that, as they say, is a different story.
Wooden cubes and essential oils
Freshener recipe for the pros: Coat several wooden cubes with a brush with essential oil (of your choice). Leave overnight in a closed airtight container, and in the morning inhale the delicate pleasant aroma. Everything ingenious is simple, and most importantly – natural.
