No product on the market has such power, and now we will explain how to best achieve it. The steps are few and simple .
Bad smells and insects of all kinds: enough is enough
The bathroom is the room in the house that is most prone to unpleasant odours . The waste water present in this room is heard loud and clear. In addition, a determining cause of bad odours is humidity. The high humidity that is created after every bath or shower causes the formation of various types of mould. This happens especially if we do not keep the window open long enough. Unfortunately, the consequences of humidity are not limited to these.
What happens in a damp and mould-rich environment is also the appearance of insects of various kinds . Some species of insects are attracted to this type of environment and rarely leave it. The underlying problem is that insecticides make the surrounding air unbreathable, especially in small spaces such as bathrooms. Another disadvantage of insecticides is that they do not prevent their appearance, they only act by killing those already present without preventing their reappearance. These chemicals are also toxic and harmful to the environment . So let’s see how we can replace commercial insecticides with a harmless product that is perfect for our purpose. In addition to replacing insecticides, you will also replace air fresheners. Below we explain how to create our miracle candle .
Homemade bath candle: this is how it is made
To create our multifunctional candle, all you need is to get ingredients that we surely have at home. All you need is a lemon, some cloves and a simple unused candle . The first step is to grate the lemon: we will need its peel . Then squeeze it to get all the juice . We combine everything in a bowl and mix with a few grams of cloves .
Meanwhile, melt the candle in a saucepan: when it is completely melted, remove the wick , that is, the thread contained in the candle that allows it to be lit. Pour the entire contents of the saucepan into the bowl containing the lemon peel, lemon juice and cloves. Mix quickly to prevent the wax from solidifying and pour into a glass . Place the wick in the center with the help of some tongs and let everything solidify.
In less than an hour, our candle will be ready for use. We can place it wherever we like, but the best place is near the bathroom. After a few minutes of lighting it, we will notice a pleasant smell that invades our entire bathroom: an excellent smell that will no longer make even an insect come near it and that will neutralize the bad guys from the sewers. Try it yourself, you will never go without it again .
