Ever heard of the cotton ball hack?
Who knew the key to a fresh smelling bathroom was so… fluffy?
Fresh smelling bathrooms are easier when there is a window. Mine does not have one so I have to be more conscious about ventillation. That is why I like having simple scent options on hand. When I want something quick, I use a few cotton balls with a few drops of essential oil. It’s one of the easiest ways to reset a space naturally and beautifully.
Scented Cotton Balls: a 2 step Method
What You’ll Need:
Few cotton balls (Got about 10 in this ramekin)
Your favourite essential oil
What I do
Grab few Cotton Balls + an essential oil: I usually go for something balancing like a geranium or switch with the Tisserand’s De-Stress blend because it has that spa-like feel. But honestly, use whatever scent makes you happy.
Add a Few Drops + Place It: I add 5 drops directly onto each cotton ball and place it into a ramekin or bowl. The scent lasts surprisingly long usually about a week.
Where I use them
This little trick is perfect for so many different areas. These are the spots where I get the most use out of them.
The Bathroom : As shown above I place a small handful of cotton balls infused with a few drops of essential oil in a small decorative bowl . I use sometimes tuck one into the bottom of the bathroom bin.
The Car: Sometimes the car can feel stuffy after it’s been closed up. I place a 2-3 scented cotton balls in a small breathable sachet and leave it in the center console area. It feels much nicer than the hanging air freshener on the mirror.
The Hallway: I sometimes tuck one behind a vase or place it discreetly on a console table in the hallway.
Think of this Himalyan salt shower steamer as your shower’s version of a scented cotton ball in the bathroom.
Because this LED mirror can also set the mood.
That’s it! No mess, no fuss, just a little cotton ball magic.
