Put an Orange with Cloves on a Plate and Place It in the Center of the Room – This Hack Will Change Your Life! 🍊✨
Sometimes, the simplest tricks from the past are the most effective. If you’ve ever walked into a room and been greeted by a stale or unpleasant smell—or just wanted a more natural alternative to chemical air fresheners—this easy, old-fashioned hack might just become your new favorite.
All you need is one orange, a handful of cloves, and a plate. That’s it. Place it in the center of the room, and you’ll be amazed at the results.
Why This Works
This clever trick is known as a pomander, and it’s been used for centuries to freshen the air, ward off insects, and add a festive touch to the home.
- 🍊 The orange releases a gentle citrus scent as it naturally dries.
- 🌿 The cloves add a warm, spicy fragrance and have natural antibacterial and pest-repelling properties.
- 💨 Together, they create a beautiful, all-natural air freshener that not only smells amazing but looks charming too.
How to Make Your Orange & Clove Pomander:
You’ll need:
- 1 fresh orange
- Whole cloves (about 30–50, depending on your design)
- A small plate or shallow bowl
- Optional: ribbon, toothpick, or powdered spices (like cinnamon or nutmeg)
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the orange to remove any residue from the skin.
- Poke holes into the skin using a toothpick or skewer—this makes it easier to insert the cloves.
- Insert the cloves into the orange skin in any pattern you like: spirals, stripes, polka dots, or even shapes like hearts or stars!
- Place the orange on a plate and set it in the center of the room. As the orange begins to dry out, the scent will intensify.
- (Optional) Dust with cinnamon or nutmeg for an even richer fragrance.
