Perfuming the closet: methods and suggestions.
Before seeing what the sheet of paper method is for closets, let’s see together how to perfume them to also have clothes without bad smell:
- The first thing we must do is create a scented sachet with pot purri or directly with dried lavender or mint leaves. Then place the bag inside the closet and in an instant the closet will smell good;
- Experts also recommend using scented or Marseille soap flakes, which will be placed inside a small container that will then be placed inside the closet. Alternatively, the flakes can also be placed in a small bag as explained above;
- One of the ancient remedies is always baking soda, which is poured into a small container and then placed in a corner of the cupboard . Eliminates bad odors and gives clean aroma to clothes. That’s not all, with the addition of essential oil you can increase the good aroma (always choose the fragrance you want).
Sheet of paper in the closet: the method of eliminating the smell.
We tell you about an old but still very popular method to eliminate odors from the closet. Although the different remedies perfume the interior and clothing, this one directly eliminates humidity, counteracting the formation of mold.
In addition, it helps eliminate the suffocating and musty smell that forms inside the cabinets, especially if they are outdated. How to do? All you need is four sheets of newspaper (but not magazines) and roll them into balls. Now place them in the four corners of the inside of the closet : this will allow them to absorb all the moisture and eliminate that unpleasant smell anyway.
Grandmothers also used to line the inside of the closet with sheets of newspaper, to solve all kinds of problems. Remember to change these sheets at least once a week.
