250 ml distilled water
1 tablespoon baking soda
10–15 drops essential oil
Shake and mist lightly over fabrics. It neutralizes odors and leaves a gentle, lasting scent.
Sprinkling baking soda with a few drops of essential oil on carpets and vacuuming after 15–20 minutes also removes trapped odors and leaves freshness behind.
4. Potpourri and Simmer Bowls for Every Room
Decorative potpourri — dried flowers, citrus peels, herbs, and spices mixed in a bowl — is a long-lasting way to scent closets, bathrooms, or entryways without heating.
You can also create small simmer bowls of dried fruits and spices placed strategically in living spaces; they slowly release scent without needing stovetop heat.
