Feeling good at home is very important for us to enjoy good physical and mental well-being. If our living space lacks comfort, cleanliness, order, and why not also a good smell, our quality of life decreases.
There are several reasons why our house may have an unpleasant odor. Not forgetting houses that spend a lot of time closed, for example by the sea, whose classic smell can last for days.
Fortunately, you don’t need to rely on commercial air fresheners (including chemical ones) to get rid of bad odors and perfume your entire home: a few natural ingredients like bay leaves are enough.
Below we will talk about making the whole house smell using a bay leaf and the scent lasts for days.
Burn the bay leaves. The fastest and most convenient way to spray the whole house with a very pleasant smell is to burn bay leaves.
The method is very simple to practice: just put a few bay leaves on a plate, burn them and spread the smoke throughout the house. Be very careful not to burn yourself or burn things at home.
Natural deodorant. Boil 2 large bay leaves in half a liter of water for 15 minutes. Let cool then add 2 drops of peppermint essential oil and two more drops of lemon essential oil.
Pour everything into a spray bottle and spray around the house. You can replace the essential oils with other scents of your choice.
Bay leaf has an aroma that is not only pleasant, but also effectively neutralizes bad odors. Choose one of the two methods described above to deodorize and smell your home for hours.
