Toilet paper as a freshener
If you want your wardrobe to smell nice, there's no need to buy expensive fragrances. An unassuming but effective method is using a roll of scented toilet paper. This product has moisture-absorbing properties, which can cause bad smells. Paper placed among the clothes will absorb the unpleasant odours, leaving a nice scent. Just change the roll every 2 or 3 weeks, and the problem will disappear for good.
Ways to make your own natural freshener
To create your scent, take a tea bag, preferably fruit or lavender, and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. This gadget can quickly absorb unpleasant odors from the wardrobe and works well in shoes.
Another method involves using dried citrus fruits. Their strong and fresh scent will help neutralize the interior. All you need are dried slices of lemons and oranges, which you can hang on a hanger or place at the bottom of the closet. For a better effect, you can add cloves and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Essential oils can also be used in other ways. Pour a few tablespoons of baking soda into a small jar, add about 20 drops of essential oil, and mix well. The jar should be closed with a lid with pre-made holes. Shake it once a day to enhance the scent. When the freshener loses its fragrance, add more oil every few days.
