• Advice

• Instead of making the bed as soon as you wake up, pull down the sheets and let them sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the mattress to clear. Your body often emits moisture during sleep, making your sheets so wet, making your bedding a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

Wipe the surfaces in the room with a damp rag. Use a microfiber towel (microfiber towel) to wipe the dust so that it doesn't get into the air, or you can make a lemon scent rag for fragrance. Prepare a rag first, then clean bookshelves, windowsills, electronics, etc.

• Make a solution of 1 cup (240 ml) of water, 1 cup (240 ml) of white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil.
• Soak a few rags in the solution. Old t-shirts, socks and underwear can be recycled into great cleaning materials!
• Wring out the rag, then put in a glass jar, spread a chopped lemon into the jar. Close the lid of the bottle tightly.
• To make everything more fragrant, you can dilute a few drops of essential oil with water. Soak the essential oil solution in a rag and wipe the surfaces of furniture.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. After cleaning the furniture in the room, you can use a vacuum cleaner to clean everything on the floor. Don't forget corners, under beds, under upholstered furniture, even walls, where dusty can accumulate.

• HEPA filters work to trap allergens such as dirt so that they don't get into the air.
• Vacuum 2-3 times a week if possible, and be sure to rinse the HEPA filter regularly.

Wipe the wall with vinegar. The walls in a room can be stained with a variety of odors that vinegar can handle. Mix 60 ml of vinegar with 2 liters of water, then dip a cloth or sponge in the solution and wipe the wall.

• Don't be afraid the room smells of vinegar; When it dries, the vinegar should be gone.

Part 2 of 3: Deodorizing

1. 

   
   
   Keep trash clean. If you have a trash bin in your room, be sure to empty it regularly and clean it thoroughly by wiping and spraying cleaning products with an old rag. You can also try using deodorant sprays to remove any odors.
   • Look for trash cans that have tight lids so that the scent does not come out.
   • Avoid disposing of food scraps in the bedroom trash if possible, as food scraps can quickly make the bedroom smell, even if the trash bin has a lid. Immediately remove food scraps from the room and throw them in the trash in the kitchen or outdoors.

2. 

   Dab a few drops of vanilla extract on a cool bulb. When you turn on the light, the heat from the bulb helps a pleasant fragrance to spread throughout the room.

3. 

   
   
   DIY natural room fragrance spray. While commercial room sprays are full of harmful chemicals, a simple blend of essential oils and water makes a great alternative. Simply mix 60 ml of distilled water with 10-15 drops of essential oils you like in an empty spray bottle.
   • Lavender is known to have calming properties, while citrus oils like lemons, tangerines, wild oranges and grapefruit have a very refreshing aroma.
   • You can make the mixture by adding 1 teaspoon (4 grams) of baking soda to the solution above. This will be a very good deodorant for furniture.
   • This mixture can be used to spray on curtains, rugs and textiles.

4. 

   Try lighting natural scented candles with soy wax or beeswax. Candles can bring a lively atmosphere and a pleasant aroma to a room. However, you should be careful when choosing candles. Many candles contain paraffin, a material that releases chemicals that can cause cancer when heated; moreover, wick materials often contain lead, and artificial flavors can contain harmful substances. Look for soy wax candles or beeswax with a faint honey scent.
   • You can also make your own at home.

5. 

   Place a plate of potpourri in the room. Potpourri is a mixture of aromatic herbs such as dried petals, dried leaves and spices that work to bring lasting fragrance in the room. You can buy potpourri at drugstores, decorations stores or online. Potpourri is also easy to make: just mix anise, cinnamon, and cloves into a small jar or plate and place in your room.
   • If you like, you can dry the apples and oranges in the oven and add to the mixture. Cut the apples and oranges into thin slices, place on the baking sheet in one layer and bake in the oven at 121 degrees C for about 1 and a half hour or until the apple and orange slices dry.
