What are the other uses of an orange with cloves?
In addition to perfuming and decorating the house, amber apple is also effective in keeping insects away.
If you want to get rid of mosquitoes that parasitize your sleep, simply prick an orange with cloves and leave it next to your bed. Mosquitoes hate the smell of orange. If you don’t have an orange, you can use lemons to make your mosquito repellent. Amber apple is also effective in keeping flies and moths away from your home. These insects indeed hate the smell of cloves.
What are the other tips for perfuming the house?
Essential oils
Ideal for perfuming the home, essential oils offer a variety of refreshing aromas. Opt for lavender or chamomile essential oil to spread a floral scent, or even mint or eucalyptus essential oil to freshen the air in your home. To do this, pour a few drops of essential oil into a spray bottle containing water, and spray its solution in the rooms of your home to eliminate bad odors. However, the use of essential oils is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women and for small children.
Baking soda
This natural air freshener will allow you to fight bad odors and clean the indoor air. To do this, mix a cup of baking soda with 10 drops of an essential oil of your choice in a Mason jar. For more aromas, add a teaspoon of dried aromatic herbs such as mint or lavender to this mixture. Close the lid of your pot and stir well. Then you will only have to deposit a small amount of this mixture in cups that you will disperse in the rooms you want to scent. You can also place them in the back of your wardrobe or closet to remove the musty smell from your clothes.
That said, thanks only to an orange and a clove, you can bring freshness to your home, but also decorate it, now that Christmas is approaching.
