Rice and essential oil: how to make an air freshener with your own hands

A pleasant smell in the house creates a special atmosphere of comfort. You can buy air fresheners or aroma diffusers to flavor your home. But it will be more environmentally friendly to make a flavoring with your own hands. UaPortal will show you how.

Rice flavoring

You can make an air freshener from rice cereal. To do this, take a glass of rice, a jar, essential oil, and a piece of cloth. Pour the rice into the jar and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Tie the neck of the jar with a cloth. You can decorate with ribbon to your liking.

Put such jars in each room. Change the flavor every six months and add essential oil once a week. If the room has high humidity, the rice should be changed every two months.
