In autumn, especially during cloudy and rainy weeks, a slight damp smell often appears in closets. Even clean clothes begin to smell. The reason is increased humidity in the apartment and lack of ventilation.
There is no need to buy scented bags or sachets. There is a simple and safe solution – natural lavender with salt.
Take a small cotton bag. Pour inside:
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers,
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt.
Tie the bag and place it on a shelf in the closet. Preferably in a corner where moisture most often accumulates.
How does this work:
Salt absorbs excess moisture from the air, and lavender repels moths and leaves a light, natural aroma that does not irritate like synthetic fragrances.
Refill every 2-3 months or when the lavender scent fades. This bag is even suitable for closets with children's clothes and underwear.
If you have silica gel from shoes or equipment, you can also put it in a closet in a closed fabric shell. It perfectly absorbs moisture and is restored many times when heated in the oven.
Now your clothes will smell clean instead of musty.
