There’s nothing worse than leaving an unpleasant smell behind in the bathroom. Luckily, there are simple and effective ways to eliminate bad odors and keep things fresh. Here are some easy tricks to keep your bathroom smelling great!
Lemon or Lavender for a Constant Fresh Scent
Want a subtle, pleasant smell in the bathroom all the time? Dab a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil on the inside of the toilet paper roll. Each time the roll turns, it releases a fresh scent, keeping unwanted smells at bay!
Dealing with Drain Odor in the Bathroom
A sewer-like smell in the bathroom is both unpleasant and tough to tackle. The solution? Install a trap or odor blocker between the drain and the pipe. This type of trap keeps a bit of water in the pipe, which blocks foul odors from wafting up from the drain.
Tip: Clean the drain and trap regularly to keep everything smelling fresh.
Banishing Bacteria After Using the Toilet
We all know to wash our hands after using the toilet, but did you know that antibacterial soap can give you extra protection? It’s designed to target bacteria more effectively. Just pick up an antibacterial soap at the supermarket for that extra layer of hygiene.
Pro Tip: Which Way to Hang the Toilet Paper?
The classic debate: should toilet paper hang over or under? According to a patent from 1891, the end of a toilet roll is meant to hang over the top. But, of course, it’s up to you!
Have a little one who loves to unroll the entire roll in one go? Here’s a clever trick: gently squeeze the cardboard roll to make it oval-shaped. This makes it harder to spin quickly, keeping your paper in place and preventing messes!
