4 Tricks to Keep Your Windowless Bathroom Smelling All Day Long

A pleasant-smelling bathroom not only impresses guests, but is essential for maintaining a healthy environment. Challenges arise when the bathroom does not have proper ventilation, perhaps due to a lack of windows.
Although germs are omnipresent, including on our bodies, not all of them pose a threat. However, some can lead to infectious diseases. This highlights the importance of washing your hands regularly and thoroughly cleaning the bathroom.
But cleanliness does not always mean a pleasant aroma. If the bathroom does not maintain a fresh scent for a long time after cleaning, it may lack proper ventilation, allowing moisture and mold to create unpleasant odors.

Here are 4 clever tricks to make your bathroom smell nice, even if it has no windows:
Aromatic leaf bags
Plants like bay, eucalyptus, and mint give off wonderful scents. You can harness their aromatic power by using their leaves.

Crumple the leaves and pack them into bags made of breathable material. Strategically place these bags around your bathroom, especially in areas where moisture accumulates. Moisture will activate and spread their beautiful scents.

Scented Potpourri

Creating a potpourri is a great way to fill your bathroom with a natural scent. Gather dry aromatic ingredients like cinnamon sticks, citrus peels, cloves, and rose or lavender petals.

Blend them and store them in breathable bags that work with steam. Alternatively, place them in an open glass container and spray a few drops of an essential oil like lavender for extra scent.

Baking Soda Air Freshener

For an all-natural and health-friendly air freshener, mix baking soda with your preferred essential oil, such as lavender, lemon mint, or cinnamon.

Pour baking soda into two-thirds of a glass jar and mix in about 15 drops of essential oil. Seal the opening of the jar with a breathable cloth or cheesecloth and secure it with a rubber band. Place it in your bathroom to effectively diffuse odors.

Toilet Paper Trick

A clever trick for a long-lasting fresh scent is to sprinkle a few drops of essential oil on the inner cardboard tube of a toilet paper roll.

The cardboard acts like a sponge, absorbing the oil and gradually releasing its scent into the room.

Armed with these creative methods, you’re ready to transform your windowless bathroom into an aromatic haven. Choose a trick that speaks to you, try it out, and enjoy a bathroom that smells amazing all day long!
