In a home, curtains are full-fledged decorative accessories to beautify the interior.
Available in a wide range of fabrics, shapes and colours, they must be chosen carefully to create pieces embellished with the most diverse motifs.
However, curtains are not only used for aesthetic reasons and to protect from external light. They can help you scent your entire home .
But how do you make your home smell good when you don’t have time to wash the curtains? Here are some very interesting tips to try right away.
Ventilate the house
To prevent curtains from accumulating unpleasant odors, simply let the air pass through.
This applies to homes where smoking is habitual indoors. Smoke that doesn’t escape often settles on the curtains. The result is not only a smelly curtain but also a yellowing curtain .
To do this, keep windows and doors open for at least an hour a day to allow air to pass through and get a feeling of freshness in your home.
Prepare a natural perfume spray
After this first very important rule, it is necessary to prepare this natural and scented spray.
Ingredients .
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 500 ml of demineralised water
- 8 drops of essential oil
- 1 sprayer
Dissolve the baking soda in the water, then add the drops of essential oil of your choice.
Transfer to a spray bottle and shake well before spraying on curtains. Keep a safe distance from the curtains to avoid getting them completely wet.
Lavender infusion
An infusion of lavender can help you perfume all your curtains.
Lavender flowers are famous for their intense aroma. If we put them in hot water, they perfume it in a completely natural way.
To do this, infuse 2 sprigs of lavender in 800 ml of water. Turn off the heat and leave the lid on for a whole day.
The next day, strain the solution and spray it on all the curtains.
Laurel infusion
Laurel is one of the best ingredients for scenting curtains.
This plant, with its wonderful leaves, is ideal for purifying the air. So why not use it to perfume your curtains?
Prepare an infusion with water and about 4 bay leaves. Then leave to infuse for a day before filtering the mixture.
The solution is now ready to perfume the curtains.
