Refresh your bathroom: Natural tips for lasting freshness
The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house since all household members use it daily. Moisture, cosmetic residue, soap scum, or uncleaned drains create an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and fungi. Therefore, maintaining hygiene and freshness in this space is exceptionally important.
The key to maintaining cleanliness is regularity. It's worthwhile to thoroughly clean the entire bathroom at least once a week — not just superficially. Pay particular attention to tiles, seals, drains, and hard-to-reach corners. It's also a good practice to frequently ventilate the bathroom and avoid moisture buildup — wet towels should be dried quickly, and shower curtains should be regularly wiped with a fungicidal agent.
Home trick for a fresh smell in the toilet
If you still notice an unpleasant odour despite cleanliness, you can use a tried-and-true natural trick involving yeast. Simply dissolve a teaspoon of dry yeast (about 5 grams of fresh yeast) in a less-than-full glass of boiled, slightly warm water. Pour the mixture into the toilet, sink drain, or shower, and leave it overnight. Yeast naturally decomposes organic matter and inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause bad odours. It is a safe, effective, and eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaning agents.
You can repeat this simple procedure once a week or whenever you feel that the bathroom has lost its freshness. This way, you'll not only neutralize the source of the scent but also ensure the cleanliness and functionality of the drains.
A clean bathroom is not only a matter of aesthetics but also of health and daily comfort. Combining regular cleaning with natural methods can help maintain freshness and a pleasant scent for longer.
