How to naturally remove odours at home

Air fresheners whether in spray, plug-in, or aerosol form, they often contain a cocktail of harmful chemicals. These chemicals, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and phthalates, can release toxic fumes into the air we breathe, posing potential health risks.

While air fresheners may temporarily mask unpleasant odours, they do not address the root cause of the problem. Rather than tackling the odour-causing bacteria, these products merely cover up the smell, leading to a false sense of cleanliness. 

Instead, adopting a long-term solution that focuses on eliminating the source of odours will lead to a fresher and healthier living space. This is where our Organic Disinfectant Cleaner comes in! It removes bad smells by killing the odour causing bacteria. You can add essential oils to create your own very effective, natural and beautifully scented air-freshener.
