Simple Solutions for Bathroom Smells
I don’t like a stinky bathroom, and I don’t know anyone else who does. At times, my bathroom gets this very unpleasant odor, and its just not acceptable. Yes, I am perfectly aware of what goes on in that tiny little room behind closed doors. But still…
I’ve made a list of Simple Solutions for Bathroom Smells. Hopefully, these will help make your bathroom smell more pleasant. I know they have helped the smell in mine.

Scented Trash Bags
An easy solution to help with odors. Not only will these bags help make your trash can smell better, but they will also help a little with the smell in the room.
Scented Candles
Use a Plug-In Air Freshener
DIY Air Fresheners
Make your own air fresheners with cotton balls and essential oils. I love my essential oils. Just add a few drops to a cotton ball and place it inside a small Mason jar. You can always add some ribbon to the jar to add some decoration and to match your bathroom decor.
Add Fragrance to Tissue Rolls
Add some essential oils or fragrance spray to the inside of the tissue rolls. Make sure you only add it to the cardboard tube. Every time you unroll the tissue, a nice fragrance will linger in the air.

Freshen Your Rugs
Sometimes my bathroom rugs get this funky smell. I know this because my family always steps out of the shower before they dry off completely. Oh well, hard habits to break.
Adding a little Baking Soda to your rug will help with smell and absorb any lingering odors.
Freshen Your Drain
The sink drain can also have unpleasant odors. I have found pouring pine sol, or a little liquid washing detergent(Gain) down the sink works wonders. I am a total Gain snob. I buy Gain for the smell. Yes, it does a nice job cleaning my clothes, but the smell is awesome!

Soak Toilet Brush
Add Pine-Sol to the toilet brush container. When trying to get rid of stinky odors, don’t forget about the toilet brush container. This will help to sanitize the brush and cut down on the odor in the container.
Clean Your Toilet
Clean your toilet with baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda is an inexpensive product. I use it almost daily to cook with and to clean with. For most jobs, I add vinegar. I am just like a child in science class because I look forward to the reaction of the baking soda and vinegar mixing together.
Pour the baking soda into your toilet bowl. Add vinegar. You will get that fizzing reaction you are looking for. Allow this to sit for about 30 minutes. Scrub as usual.
