Showing us some very popular methods is famous TikTokker, @mama_mila_:
In one of her videos, she shows us three very easy and very low-cost tips that can do wonders to fill a home with pleasant aromas. Here they are:
- After doing the laundry, you can put on a very short cycle - like the rinse cycle - to perfume your pillow cases, curtains or blankets that you usually keep in the living room. When you put these items in the drum, add half a glass of baking soda and a few drops of an essential oil of your choice. In the video she recommends adding these ingredients to a regular: try the method you prefer!
- The orange slices tip (or any other citrus fruits). This is a traditional remedy that never goes out of fashion. Cut slices of lemon, orange, lime, bergamot or cedar (in short, your favorite citrus fruit) and place them in a pan with a little water so that they do not dry out . Put everything in theapreheated oven - for example, after it has finished cooking a meal - and leave the pan inside for 20 minutes. When you open it up, a fresh and pleasant scent will be released, and there will be no smell from the food. In addition, you will also have softened any dirt, which you can clean off more easily.
- Vanilla and coffee: if you happen to use roasted coffee beans and/or vanilla beans (even those already deprived of seeds for cooking), put a quantity of these in a saucepan with water on the stove, over low heat. They will release a truly intoxicating mix of aromas.
Here you can see the video of the various methods described above.
