Summer is the season when odors permeate everywhere, especially in windowless bathrooms. Many people have tried using air fresheners or essential oils to no avail.
Moreover, these scented products, when exposed to heat, can release toxic gases that may negatively impact your family’s health.

This seemingly challenging issue has a simple solution.
Take some used tea grounds and place them in a bowl. Add peppercorns and white vinegar, mix well, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Poke a few small holes in the wrap to allow the mixture to evaporate gradually, naturally eliminating odors and disinfecting the bathroom.
Of course, this alone won’t suffice. Maintaining a clean bathroom, especially the drain area, is crucial. Over time, waste accumulates in the drain, and the summer heat can exacerbate the problem, leading to unpleasant odors. Additionally, insects like cockroaches may breed in the drain, causing further discomfort.

To address this, use a combination of baking soda and a cleaning agent, along with a drain-cleaning tool, to thoroughly clean the drain.
Subsequently, place soap scraps and toothpaste in a mesh bag and tie it to the drain cover. This combination effectively eliminates odors, and the alkaline nature of the soap helps eradicate cockroaches.
