1 cup of bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon of powdered cloves (or whole cloves for a milder smell)
A little jar or a container without a lid.
You can use a light fabric or paper as a cover, such as cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
Directions:
Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the baking soda with the ground cloves until they are well mixed.
Get a small jar or any open container to put the mixture in. If you are using a jar and want to cover it, you can use a piece of cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Use a rubber band or the lid to secure it. This lets the smell spread in the air while keeping the mix inside.
Put your homemade air freshener in places around your home where there are strong smells, like the bathroom, kitchen, or near where your pets are. The baking soda will remove bad smells, and the cloves will give off a nice scent.
Shake the jar every few days to make the baking soda work again and let out more scent from the cloves. Change the combination every month or earlier if the smells continue.
More Advice:
Improve with Essential Oils: To give it a nicer smell, put a couple of drops of your preferred essential oil into the blend. Spices such as cinnamon, orange, and vanilla go well with the pleasant smell of cloves.
Add a nice touch to your deodorizer by using a pretty jar and decorating it to go with your home’s style. This makes it a nice decoration for coffee tables and countertops.
Closet Freshener: Put a little in a fabric bag with holes and use it to keep your closet or drawers smelling fresh. This can help your clothes smell good and avoid them getting musty.
Final thoughts:
This homemade air freshener is an easy and efficient way to make your house smell nice without using chemicals. Baking soda and cloves are cheap and safe for homes with pets and kids because they are not toxic. Give this simple recipe a try and experience a cleaner, more welcoming home without using strong chemicals.
