There is an equally old method that you can try right away and it consists of having a single sheet of paper.  And then? Let’s find out together.

How often do you clean your closet?

The musty smell, as expected, comes with force and permeates the fabrics of all clothes. Especially if the wardrobe is inherited from our grandmother or is otherwise outdated, it is advisable to air it at least  once a day for 10/15 consecutive minutes  .

Once a month, it is necessary to remove all clothing, accessories and, in any case, the contents of the wardrobe and wash the interior well with Marseille soap and a teaspoon of baking soda.

Scenting your closet: methods and tips.

Before we see what the paper sheet method is for closets, let’s see together how to perfume them to also keep clothes odor-free:

• The  first thing to do  is to create a scented sachet with pot purri or directly with dried lavender or mint leaves. Then place the sachet inside the closet and in an instant the closet will smell good;
• Experts also recommend using scented soap flakes or Marseille soap, which will be placed inside a  small container  that will then be placed inside the cupboard. Alternatively, the flakes can also be placed in a small bag as explained above;
• One of the old remedies is always baking soda, which is poured into a small container and then placed in a  corner of the closet  . It eliminates bad odors and gives a clean scent to clothes. That’s not all, with the addition of essential oil you can increase the good scent (always choose the fragrance you want).

Sheet of paper in the closet: the method to eliminate the smell.

We’ll tell you about  an old  but still very popular method for removing odors from the closet. While the various remedies perfume the interior and the clothes, this one directly eliminates humidity, counteracting the formation of mold. In addition, it helps eliminate the suffocating and musty smell that forms inside closets, especially if they are old-fashioned. How to do it? All you need are four sheets of newspaper (but not magazines) and roll them into balls. Now place them in the  four corners of the inside of the closet  : this will allow them to absorb all the moisture and eliminate that unpleasant smell anyway.
