The rainy season is a breath of fresh air, but it often brings with it that stubborn musty smell that lingers in corners, closets, and cupboards. Luckily, camphor — a natural, aromatic compound — can come to your rescue! Here’s how to use it smartly around your home:
1. Camphor Balls In Wardrobes And DrawersPlace a few camphor balls inside your wardrobes, drawers, or cupboards to keep clothes and linens smelling fresh and free from dampness. Replace them every few weeks for best results.
2. Camphor Sachets For Shoe RacksMake small sachets by wrapping camphor pieces in a breathable cloth or muslin bag and place them near your shoe rack. This will absorb moisture and neutralize the musty odor from shoes.
3. Camphor In The BathroomKeep a camphor ball in a bowl of water in your bathroom to reduce dampness and unpleasant smells. The subtle aroma will help keep the space fresh and inviting.
4. Camphor In Curtains And UpholsteryHide camphor balls behind curtains or inside the folds of upholstery to combat moisture buildup and keep these fabrics smelling pleasant during the humid season.
5. Camphor In Storage BoxesIf you store seasonal clothes or blankets in boxes, tuck in some camphor pieces inside to prevent mildew and musty smells when you take them out after months.
6. Camphor With Essential Oils For Room FreshenerDissolve a small piece of camphor in warm water mixed with a few drops of essential oils like eucalyptus or lavender. Use this mixture to mop floors or wipe surdata-faces for a naturally fresh-smelling home.
Pro Tip:Always keep camphor out of reach of children and pets, as it can be toxic if ingested.
