1. Arrange clothes neatly and breathablely
A messy closet not only makes choosing items messy but is also an ideal condition for odor to accumulate. Clothes should be classified according to materials and purposes of use (omes, offices, sports...), hanged if possible, instead of piled up. Limiting congestion makes air unable to circulate - this is the reason why unpleasant odors stick.
Tips: place the moisture suction bags in common compartments for thick items, pillows or winter clothes.
2. Regular cabinet cleaning - the foundation of aroma
No scent can escape the moisture if the closet itself is not clean. Every month, you should clean the closet once: remove all clothes, clean the surface with a thinly dissolved white vinegar or lemon juice, then rinse with a dry towel and leave the closet open for a few hours to breathe.
Note: For wooden cabinets, do not use strong cleaning chemicals to avoid peeling off the surface.
3. Skilled use of perfume - sophisticated but necessary
Instead of spraying perfume directly on a fabric that can easily cause stains or odor, you should spray it on a cotton ball or paper towel, place it in a small, hoular bottle or rough cloth bag hanging in the corner of the closet. Note, choose a gentle, neutral, and pleasant smell for many people.
You can combine perfume and incense with incense to increase the spread without causing a stir.
4. Use coffee grounds - natural, friendly deodorant
Few people know that dry coffee beans have the same effective ability to absorb moisture and deodorize as activated charcoal. Put the coffee grounds in a small cloth bag, replace it every 2 weeks. Occasional coffee scent not only overwhelms the mold smell but also creates a pleasant, close feeling.
In addition to coffee, you can also use dried tea bags, dried orange/ tangerine peels or dried cinnamon in fabric bags.
5. Use scented paper, scented wax or specialized scent bags
Hoia si - often used for a clothes dryer - is also a convenient choice for seasoning the closet. You can place 1-2 pieces in drawers, between layers of clothes. In addition, herbal scent bags (lavender, mint, jasmine...) or dropsy, hanging wax are also designed specifically for small spaces such as wardrobes.
Avoid choosing a scent that is too strong, especially for people who are sensitive to the scent or have respiratory diseases.
Some things to avoid:
- Do not store clothes that are not completely dried in the closet.
- Do not leave dirty items, socks, wet scarves, or shoes in your wardrobe.
- Limit the use of chemical spraying water because it can affect fabric and health.
