Why My Bathroom Always Smells Amazing (and Yours Can Too)

### 🌿 3. **Keep It Dry (Moisture Smells!)**

Moisture is a breeding ground for mildew, and mildew = musty smells. After every shower, I open the window or run the fan. I also keep the shower curtain open so it dries faster.

👉 **Bonus move:** Add a small moisture absorber like DampRid or a homemade version (rock salt in a jar) to suck up extra humidity.

### 🚽 4. **Toilet Bombs = Instant Freshness**

Nope, not explosives—just simple DIY toilet bombs made with baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils. Drop one in the bowl once a day or after use, and your bathroom will smell freshly cleaned with zero effort.

### 🧺 5. **Swap Out Towels Weekly**

You’d be surprised how quickly towels can develop a sour smell—especially in a humid space. I wash mine once a week with a bit of vinegar in the rinse cycle to kill any lingering odor.

👉 **Pro tip:** Store a small sachet of dried lavender or eucalyptus in your towel cabinet to infuse a natural scent into linens.

### 🧽 6. **Wipe Down the Sink Daily**

It takes literally 30 seconds. A quick swipe with a microfiber cloth and a spritz of all-purpose cleaner keeps toothpaste splatters and soap scum from creating that “used” smell.

### 🌸 7. **Add One Living Plant**

I keep a small potted plant—like a peace lily or spider plant—on the counter. Plants help clean the air and naturally improve the smell and feel of the room.

### 🛁 8. **Scented Epsom Salt in a Jar**

Even when I’m not taking a bath, I keep a jar of scented Epsom salts in the room. It gives off a gentle, spa-like aroma—and doubles as a handy soak when needed.
