Is a weird smell bothering you even after cleaning the house? Ditch those expensive, chemical-filled room sprays from the market. Here’s how you can make a 100% natural, chemical-free room freshener at home in just a few minutes.
Even after a thorough cleaning, sometimes a strange smell lingers in the room. We often buy expensive, chemical-heavy room sprays to fix this.

Ingredients you will need
You don't need a lot of things for this spray. Just get these items ready: 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of rose water, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 8 to 10 drops of essential oil (like lavender, lemon, or mint—your choice!), and one empty, clean spray bottle.

How to prepare it
First, pour one cup of water into a clean spray bottle. Add 2 tablespoons of rose water to it. Next, put in one teaspoon of baking soda and give the bottle a gentle swirl. The baking soda helps absorb bad odours. Finally, add 8-10 drops of your favourite essential oil. Close the lid and shake it well. Your homemade room spray is ready!
Lightly spray it in the air around the room. It's perfect to use just before guests arrive or right after you've finished cleaning. Before spraying on curtains or fabrics, always test it on a small, hidden corner first. And don't forget to shake the bottle well before every use!

Important points to remember
Keep the spray away from your eyes, face, and skin. Make sure it's out of reach of children and pets. Avoid spraying it directly on food items or electronic gadgets. It's best to make this spray in small batches; a fresh mix is always more effective than an old one.
