We all know our bedroom can get a bit stale smelling, particularly during cooler weather when the windows are closed more often. My favourite tips for keeping my bedroom smelling fresh are:
- Put a few drops essential oil on a cotton ball & place in a little bowl and keep in your bedroom. Replace each week. Use an oil like lavender, you don’t want something zingy and fresh as it might keep you awake at night.
- Open windows every day to let some fresh air in.

- When dusting, use some essential oil on your dusting cloth, this will leave a pleasant, long lasting fragrance in your room
- When you wash your sheets, also put your doona or bedspread out on the line in the sun for a few hours (you don’t need to wash it each time). The sun and breeze freshen it up and also get rid of any dust mites.
- Wardrobes can smell very musty, particularly if there has been a lot of rain. You can also put a couple of cotton wool balls with essential oil in your wardrobe – be careful not to put the oil on any clothing items.
- Place a container of moisture reducing crystals in the bottom of your wardrobe. You can buy these at the supermarket (they are called “closet camels”). Keep these away from little children.
