To ensure good sleep throughout the night will help not only the right mattress and high-quality bedding, but also the pleasant aroma that comes from it. Special conditioners, which are used during washing and rinsing, give a pungent odor, and also contain fragrances that are hazardous to health and often cause allergies. A more pleasant aroma can be obtained using a natural fragrance for linen in the closet. It can be dried herbs (lavender), needles, citrus fruits, coffee beans, essential oils. About how to make such a flavor with your own hands, we will tell in our article.
How to make a sachet - a fragrance for linen in a closet?
Sasha, or a small pillow with a fragrant filler, has long been used not only to add flavor to linen in the closet, but also to scare away moths. Unlike flavorings from the store, the composition of the filler is selected individually, which eliminates the appearance of allergic reactions, rashes and other troubles. In the wardrobes for clothes and linen, sachets are laid out directly between the stacks of linen or hung by a loop.
What can be used as a filler for a bag? Ideal:
- dried herbs (lavender, mint, lemon balm, rose, jasmine);
- spices (cloves, cinnamon sticks, rosemary);
- dry zest of citrus fruits (orange, lemon, grapefruit);
- essential oils pre-applied to cotton wool.
Sachets for bags are easy to sew with your own hands. This will require a small piece of natural fabric in the shape of a rectangle. Coarse burlap, linen, cotton or silk will do. A piece of fabric is sewn on three sides, filled with flavor, and then tightened with tape, braid or stitched with thread on the fourth side. A pleasant, light aroma will delight you for about 3 months. After this time, the filler will have to be replaced.
Uncomplicated soda flavor
To make a soda flavor with your own hands, you will need a small empty jar, for example, from a cream, soda and a few drops of essential oil. Baking soda is poured into a jar, then essential oil is added, after which the container is closed and shaken. Further, several holes are made in the lid of the can, after which the fragrance for linen in the cabinet can be used for its intended purpose.
If in the manufacture of flavoring you use a jar without a lid, you can use foil instead.
Fragrant stones for the cabinet
Stones made from salt dough with their own hands are both flavoring and a stylish element of decor. They can be laid out one at a time in different corners of the apartment, including in the closet, or put everything together in a beautiful vase or basket.
Such a fragrance for linen in a cabinet with your own hands can be done in the following way:
- Knead the dough from flour (300 g), fine salt (500 g), starch (2 tbsp.spoons with a slide) and hot water with dye (100 ml). Depending on what color the stones you want to make, you can use water-soluble dyes of different colors.
- Divide the dough into pieces of any size, apply a few drops of essential oil and form stones with your hands.
- Allow the stones to dry well, and then put them in a closet for storing bedding.
When the smell ceases to be so saturated, it will be enough to drip 1-2 drops of essential oil on each stone, let it dry and put it back in the cupboard.
Gel fragrance for clothes in the closet
For a gel flavor, gelatin (10 g) is poured into 120 ml of water and left for half an hour. After a while, the swollen mass is put on fire and heated until the gelatin is completely dissolved. At this point, any colorant can be added as desired. Once the gelatin mass is warm, you can add glycerin (15 g) and 7-8 drops of essential oil. These flavoring ingredients can be bought at almost every pharmacy.
It remains only to transfer the gel-like mass into a beautiful transparent bottle. In cabinets for clothes and linen, it is enough to put one such flavor. Due to the gel-like consistency, the aroma lasts for three months or more.
No time to make a home flavor? Place a few pieces of your favorite toilet soap or an empty perfume bottle in the closet with your bedding. A pleasant aroma for 2-4 weeks will be guaranteed.
