Make Your Own Bathroom Deodorizer

Making your own bathroom deodorizer is a creative endeavor.








Making your own bathroom deodorizer is a creative project with sweet-smelling results. Creating a deodorizer is an efficient way to improve the smell of your bathroom without having to use a candle, which features an open flame and poses a fire hazard. In addition, your own natural deodorizer does not contain dangerous chemicals often found in commercial products, such as formaldehyde, and is less likely to trigger allergy or asthma problems. This type of project sometimes involves the use of natural spices and plants and requires patience and creativity.


Instructions


1. Combine vanilla extract along with the peels of oranges and even sticks of cinnamon in your potpourri slow cooker. Fill the cooker pot with water so that it covers the aromatic food items, and allow the mixture to boil. Decrease the heat level of the crock pot so that the uncovered crock pot simmers for a day on the low setting.


2. Put eucalyptus leaves in a vase, as these leaves feature a fragrant oil that has a deodorizing, antibacterial and antiseptic quality. Place this vase on a sink or above your bathroom's toilet, and replace the leaves when they begin to wilt.


3. Add 10 to 20 drops of a fragrant oil to a 1-lb. box of baking soda. Place this baking soda box in a hidden area of your bathroom, such as underneath your sink or inside a decorative vase near your toilet. Change the box out about every three months to remove odors from the room.


4. Drip a fragrant oil on cotton balls. Place these balls in an attractive bowl, and allow the bowl to serve as a deodorizing decoration on your sink or on the back of your toilet.


5. Put cotton balls dipped in fragrant oil between the inside of your toilet paper roll and the toilet paper roll holder in your bathroom, as this releases the fragrance every time a person unrolls toilet paper. Add new oil-covered cotton balls to each new toilet paper roll you place in your bathroom.
