In this article, I will walk you through making your own bathroom freshener using simple ingredients like cloves, baking soda, and essential oils.
Ingredients

Procedure
Start by gathering all the ingredients and tools you need. Make sure the glass jar is clean and dry.
Pour the baking soda into the bowl. Baking soda is known for its odor-absorbing properties, making it an ideal ingredient for this mixture.
Add cloves to the baking soda. Cloves not only add a pleasant spicy aroma, but they also have antibacterial properties that help keep the air clean.
Add drops of lavender and lemon essential oil to the baking soda and cloves. Essential oils not only add a fresh scent, but they also have natural deodorizing properties.
Mix all the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Make sure that the essential oils are well distributed in the baking soda.
Pour the mixture into the glass jar. If the jar doesn’t already have holes in the lid, you can make some with a nail and hammer. The holes will allow the scent to diffuse into the air.
Place the jar in a corner of the bathroom, preferably in a less visible but central place to allow the scent to spread better.
Deodorant Maintenance
Stir periodically: Every week, lightly stir the mixture in the jar to reactivate the essential oils and extend the life of the deodorant.
Renew ingredients: After about a month, or when you notice that the effectiveness of the perfume decreases, replace the mixture with a new one.
Making a natural bathroom deodorizer is easy and convenient. Using baking soda, cloves, and essential oils, you can create an effective remedy to neutralize bad odors and leave your bathroom smelling fresh.
