What does winter actually smell like? At least in the mountains surely after the freezing air – and in homes? There we can create our own winter atmosphere with the help of countless types of aromatic spices. However, one of the most commonly used is cinnamon. How to scent an apartment quickly and effectively?
At a time when we heat intensively and ventilate only sporadically to save energy, not only moisture but also various odors accumulate in the home. If we are not careful, the feeling of freshness wears off rather quickly. Of course, we can reach for an aromatic candle, for example, but there are also much more natural tricks to achieve fragrant well-being at home. Have you tried regular cinnamon?
A YouTube video from Smart Fox will also show other tricks:
Cinnamon instead of synthetic fragrance
Cinnamon is certainly beautifully aromatic and in addition it can release the scent for quite a long timewhich is another big plus. We can pour it on a bowl and place it on or near the heater, we can make tea with its addition, whole pieces of bark can also be used as an Advent wreath decoration. But few people would perhaps think of using cinnamon as a scent for a vacuum cleaner. It is very simple and at the same time an effective method that allows us to clean and at the same time scent the whole apartment.
Your cat can do this too
If you’re wondering how to do it, you’ll be pleased to hear that it definitely does it is not a complicated processwhich would require special knowledge and experience, or an extraordinary degree of dexterity. Simply across the floor. Yes, it’s that easy – you’ll surely admit that even a child can do it, and if you leave an open bag of cinnamon on the line, even the cat will take care of such a job (of course – cats are not allowed on the line in any household…).
Just luxuriate in it
As soon as a teaspoon of cinnamon is sprinkled on the ground – it doesn’t matter if on a piece of carpet or on a rope, simply vacuum it up. The powder is immediately mixed with the other contents in the bag or dust container.
A vacuum cleaner will get rid of dust and make your home smell good
Good, we have cinnamon dust in the vacuum cleaner, we can say. And what next? Let’s face it it is through this space that the intake air passes even before the device sends it back into the room, cleaned again with the appropriate filters. The heat generated by the vacuum cleaner motor during its operation will then make the cinnamon smell without any problems, volatile substances begin to be released, which even the aforementioned filters do not stop. And so the air, returning from a trip through the bowels of the vacuum cleaner, will scented with cinnamon. Isn’t that an excellent idea?
Ecologically and at the same time effective
Ground cinnamon can thus easily serve as a non-toxic and ecological alternative airwhich offer mostly synthetic perfumes and fragrances. In addition, this is a spice known for its antimicrobial effectsso it can partially replace the disinfectants that we would otherwise use in the home for our peace of mind and safety. And to all of this, he also manages to induce the feeling of a festive atmosphere and the warmth of a quiet homewhich you dreamed about years ago.
Don’t overdo it
Cinnamon is an excellent helper, we just have to remember to apply it sparinglybecause the strong smell can soon become a nuisance and some people could even get a headache. Therefore, really follow the rule of one not too heaping teaspoon. That amount is quite enough.
