I began to wonder if there are any ways to fill the toilet with a pleasant aroma without these victims. It turns out there is, and this is an ordinary essential oil.

Idea Benefits
Everything ingenious is simple, so to speak about the natural ethereal freshener that the housewives invented to maintain freshness in the bathroom.
The advantages of such a freshener:

- Ethers are used in aromatherapy, I select them according to their properties, well-being and mood: lavender for relaxing after a hard shift, an orange for replenishing a charge of vigor, when there are big plans for the week, etc.

Important
Check if all residents of the apartment are allergic to the selected oil. Like a chemical spray, aromatic oil can cause unpleasant symptoms: irritation of the nasal mucosa, lacrimation, etc.
Instruction and expiration date
How to make a freshener:
- Choose an essential oil. It must be ethereal, with a pronounced smell. Commonly used are citrus fruits (orange, lemon, lime, bergamot), or conifers (fir, juniper). All these odors are associated with freshness and purity. Suitable lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, lemon balm, rosemary, cloves and other herbal, floral aromas.
- The roll sleeve must be cardboard. Never apply oil to the paper itself, and especially do not impregnate the roll, as some sources advise. Esters as potent agents in contact with skin can cause irritation.
- Remove the toilet paper roll and apply 10-15 drops on the inside of the sleeve. Oil is well absorbed in cardboard. The more drops, the more intense the aroma.
- We return the paper to its place and use it as usual. When you turn the roll, the smell will be heard more strongly.
Done! The aroma of oil lasts about a week. Update it as needed and do not spend money on chemical sprayers. Most often, the roll ends when the smell disappears. Just apply ether to a new package of paper.
By the way, I also prepare a long-term freshener based on essential oil. Pour it into a jar and place the bamboo sticks there. Put the structure in the bathroom, bedroom or kitchen and enjoy the pleasant natural aroma.
Also take care of the cleanliness of the bathroom and toilet. Do not ignore inaccessible places, for example, the wall behind the toilet, the area behind the tank and under the rim. Take a trick with a freshener on the note, and let freshness always reign in your house!
