Looking for a simple, economical, and 100% natural way to deodorize your living space without using chemical sprays or expensive solutions? This forgotten trick might transform your routine: just use an old sock and a bit of baking soda!
Baking soda is an essential ally for a healthy home. It’s known to:
– Absorb ambient humidity
– Neutralize bad odors (tobacco, cooking, pets…)
– Leave the air cleaner and fresher, without artificial scents
Simple steps to follow:
– Take a clean old sock (preferably cotton)
– Fill it generously with food-grade baking soda (at least 4 to 5 tablespoons)
– Add some dried lemon zest or a few drops of essential oil (lemon, lavender, eucalyptus…)
– Tie the top of the sock tightly to avoid spills
– Slide it under the sofa, bed, or a discreet piece of furniture
To keep it optimally effective:
– Replace the contents every 3 to 4 weeks
– Add more essential oils if needed to refresh the scent
Why this is a great trick:
– Zero plastic, zero waste
– Almost no cost
– Natural and light fragrance
– Perfect for less ventilated spaces
Bonus tip:
– Lavender for a calming bedroom
– Eucalyptus or mint for a fresh living room
– Orange or lemon for an energizing closet
A simple sock and a bit of baking soda can truly transform the smell of your home. It’s a forgotten but incredibly effective and eco-friendly trick. Try it, and you won’t go back!
