Start by gathering all the ingredients and tools you will need. Make sure the glass jar is clean and dry.
Pour the baking soda into the bowl. Baking soda is known for its odor-absorbing properties, making it an ideal ingredient for this mixture.
Add cloves to the baking soda. Cloves not only add a pleasant spicy aroma, but they also have antibacterial properties that help keep the air clean.
Add drops of lavender and lemon essential oil to the baking soda and cloves. Essential oils not only add a fresh scent, but they also have natural deodorizing properties.
Mix all the ingredients together until the mixture is evenly mixed. Make sure the essential oils are evenly distributed throughout the baking soda.
Pour the mixture into the glass jar. If the jar doesn’t already have holes in the lid, you can make some with a nail and hammer. The holes will allow the scent to spread through the air.
Place the jar in a corner of the bathroom, preferably somewhere out of sight but central to allow the scent to spread better.
Maintaining your deodorant
Remix periodically: Every week, gently stir the mixture in the jar to reactivate the essential oils and extend the life of your deodorant.
Renew ingredients: After about a month, or when you notice the effectiveness of the scent diminishing, replace the mixture with a new one.
Making a natural bathroom deodorant is easy and convenient. Using baking soda, cloves, and essential oils, you can create an effective remedy to neutralize bad odors and leave your bathroom smelling fresh.
