Other remedies to clean and perfume the closet
There are other remedies to clean the wardrobe, prevent humidity and keep it always smelling fresh. For cleaning, you can also use vinegar instead of the traditional chemical products found on the market. Simply put a cup of vinegar in a container with hot water.
If you also want to add a pleasant smell, just add a few drops of essential oil. Another remedy to absorb moisture from cupboards is salt or rice. Simply make packets of grams of salt or rice and place them inside the cupboard.
If there is a lot of humidity, it is best to initially change the salt or rice in the packet every 3 or 4 days. Then, once most of the moisture present has been absorbed, you can change the rice or salt every 15 days.
Since it is a closed environment, there is always little air circulation in the closet, so to avoid creating unpleasant smells you can use natural methods to perfume it. You can use organza bags (the kind that usually contain sugared almonds for wedding gifts) and put flowers, aromatic spices or pieces of fabric on which a few drops of essential oil have been poured inside.
Otherwise, you can opt for scented chalks. You can make them at home using water and chalk and mixing these two ingredients together to obtain a mixture that you can put into moulds. Once dry, you can add drops of essential oil and place them in the cupboard.
Wardrobe tips
It is also helpful to have an organized closet with perhaps some boxes to make it easier to clean as well. However, it is advisable to use metal containers or woven baskets. Avoid plastic ones that do not let air through.
It’s always a good idea to air out your wardrobe and dresser drawers from time to time, to ensure that no strange smells build up inside!
