In a saucepan , pour:
- 500 ml of water
- the juice of a lemon
- 5 cloves
- 3 to 4 bay leaves
Boil gently for 10 minutes . The steam that escapes immediately fills the house with a fresh, warm and soothing aroma.
Tip: Let the mixture cool and pour it into a small spray bottle. You’ll have a 100% natural room spray to use whenever you want to freshen the air or scent your linens.
Bonus: essential oils for lasting freshness
Essential oils are perfect for delicately scenting any room without a diffuser.
Here are a few simple ideas:
- In the toilet : 2 drops inside the toilet paper roll.
- In the bathroom : 3 drops on the corner of a hanging towel.
- In the kitchen : cotton balls soaked in citronella or mint oil under the bin.
- In the living room : a few scented cotton balls in the cupboards or on the radiators.
The best oils for a fresh and harmonious home: lavender, sweet orange, eucalyptus, lemongrass and peppermint.
