The toilet is a place that is used a lot and often has a bad smell. This location is often closed, has no ventilation holes, is not exposed to sunlight, so it is always damp, and easily generates an unpleasant smell. In addition, not cleaning the toilet or the drain pipe, toilet... is also clogged, causing a bad smell.

Regularly cleaning the toilet is a way to help keep the living environment clean and healthy. You need to scrub the toilet regularly. The toilet floor and drain cover also need to be cleaned.

In addition, to deodorize the toilet and repel harmful insects such as flies, mosquitoes, and ants, you can apply the following method.

1. Deodorize the toilet with lemongrass

You only need one simple ingredient to deodorize the toilet. That is lemongrass.

Lemongrass has a natural fragrance, which helps to eliminate bad odors in the toilet. In addition, this is also the "nemesis" of insects.

You should choose old lemongrass bundles, crush the entire lemongrass stalk so that the scent can spread better. Hang the lemongrass bundle in the toilet to deodorize. When the lemongrass bundle withers and no longer has a fragrant smell, replace it with a new bundle to maintain the effect.

2. Deodorize the toilet with pandan leaves

Pandan leaves (or pandan leaves) have a natural fragrance, which can effectively help eliminate the foul smell in the toilet. You can buy a fresh bundle of leaves and hang it in the toilet. The natural fragrance helps the air in the room to be cleaner and more fragrant. When the bundle of leaves withers, replace it with new leaves to maintain the effect.

3. Deodorize the toilet with pineapple

You need to prepare a pineapple and a small candle. Pineapple has a natural fragrance that helps eliminate the foul smell and musty smell in the toilet. You should choose ripe pineapples for a clearer scent.

Before doing this, you should clean the toilet thoroughly.

Cut off one end of the pineapple, scoop out the inside. Cut a large hole in the pineapple skin.

Stand the pineapple up and place it on a plate. Place a candle inside and light the candle. The heat of the candle will help the pineapple scent spread.

Be careful when the candle is burning to avoid catching fire on surrounding objects.

4. Deodorize the toilet with baking soda or white salt

Baking soda and white salt are both natural ingredients that effectively clean and deodorize.

You can take a jar, fill it with baking soda. If you have essential oils, mix baking soda with the essential oils. Place the jar in a corner of the toilet. The odor will be quickly eliminated. Baking soda has the effect of absorbing odors while essential oils help the room have a natural fragrance.

If you don't have baking soda, use white salt instead. If you don't have essential oils, you can use essential oils or fabric softener.

5. Deodorize the toilet with green plants

Some plants have the effect of purifying the air and can adapt to humid environments and lack of natural light in the toilet. You can consider planting plants such as pothos, snake plants, aloe vera, mint, ivy, etc. to eliminate odors in the toilet and help bring fresh air.

Although these plants can live in environments lacking natural light, they should still be brought outside periodically to "sunbathe" to help the plants grow better.
