“Look at the color of the water,” she said as it turned a pleasant brown.
After soaking for an hour, Chantel washed her clothes as usual. Her clothes looked ‘brand new’, bright white and completely odorless.
Chantel regularly shares cleaning and organizing ideas and tips on her popular TikTok and Instagram accounts.
She recently shared a video with five tricks to make your bathroom smell wonderful.
The mother softens towels and neutralizes bad odors by sprinkling them with baking soda before washing them as usual.
Chantel also adds a powerful blend of baking soda, citric acid, essential oil, and hydrogen peroxide to create homemade “cleaning bombs.”
The bombs make sinks clearer and toilets fresher. They also clean and deodorize drains when water starts to seep through.
Her next tip is to mix equal parts white vinegar and dish soap into a dish brush and then use it to wipe down all the surfaces in the bathroom for a shiny finish.
Finally, the cleaning guru adds essential oils to cotton balls and places them under garbage bags. This is a natural and fragrant way to eliminate bathroom odors.
Fans were so excited about the tips that they couldn’t help but try them out.
