Introduction
Have you ever walked into a hotel bathroom and been instantly greeted by a fresh, luxurious scent that seems to last all day? While it might seem like a mystery, the truth is that many hotels use simple, natural tricks to keep their bathrooms smelling amazing 24/7. The best part? You can easily recreate this spa-like atmosphere at home using just a few household ingredients. Here’s the secret revealed.
Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
10–15 drops essential oil (lavender, eucalyptus, lemon, or your preferred scent)
½ cup white vinegar
1 small spray bottle
1 small bowl or decorative jar
Optional: dried flowers or herbs (lavender buds, rosemary, etc.)
Preparation:
Create the base freshener:
In a bowl, mix 1 cup of baking soda with 10–15 drops of essential oil. Stir well until the scent is evenly distributed.
Optional fragrance boost:
Add a tablespoon of dried herbs or flowers for a more complex aroma and decorative touch.
Jar it up:
Place the mixture into a small decorative jar or bowl. Leave it open in a corner of the bathroom, near the toilet or under the sink.
Make a quick air freshener spray:
In a small spray bottle, mix ½ cup white vinegar with 10 drops of essential oil. Shake well before each use. Spray into the air or onto bathroom fabrics for a quick scent refresh.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Replace the baking soda jar every 2–4 weeks for maximum freshness.
Shake the jar occasionally to re-release the scent.
Keep the spray bottle handy for post-shower or pre-guest touch-ups.
Store both items in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight to preserve the essential oils.
