Scented and Disinfected Bathroom with This Simple Method
A fresh, clean-smelling bathroom doesn’t have to come with harsh chemicals or expensive air fresheners. In fact, you can achieve a beautifully scented and thoroughly disinfected bathroom using a few simple, natural ingredients you likely already have at home.
Here’s a tried-and-true method that not only keeps your bathroom smelling divine but also ensures it stays hygienically clean — all without the overpowering scent of bleach or artificial sprays.
What You’ll Need:
- White vinegar (1 cup)
- Baking soda (½ cup)
- Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
- Essential oil (10–15 drops; lavender, eucalyptus, or tea tree work best)
- Spray bottle
- Toilet brush & microfiber cloth
Step-by-Step Method
1. Make the Natural Disinfecting Spray
In a clean spray bottle, combine 1 cup of white vinegar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 10–15 drops of your favorite essential oil. Shake gently. This solution is your go-to surface disinfectant and deodorizer. The vinegar kills bacteria, lemon juice helps cut through grime, and the essential oils add a pleasant, lingering scent.
2. Clean Surfaces
Spray the mixture generously on countertops, the toilet seat, door handles, and other high-touch surfaces. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before wiping it down with a microfiber cloth. This ensures bacteria and germs are effectively eliminated, and your bathroom begins to smell fresher instantly.
3. Tackle the Toilet Bowl
Sprinkle ½ cup of baking soda directly into the toilet bowl. Follow with ½ cup of white vinegar. Let the fizzy reaction work its magic for about 10 minutes. Then, scrub with a toilet brush and flush. The result? A sparkling clean bowl and a naturally deodorized toilet.
