Sometimes, even after all the scrubbing, wiping and washing, the smell lingers. One of the most common causes of this stink is the areas hidden from plain sight. The wall behind the toilet is one such neglected place.

6. Vinegar in the Tank
Old is gold, and using vinegar is as old school as it gets. Vinegar is non-toxic, biodegradable and leaves behind a pleasant clean scent. Vinegar is multipurpose and available everywhere, which makes it a convenient choice.

7. Odor banishing spray
There is a major difference between your daily household sprays and those meant for the bathroom. Normal sprays only cover up the stink, they only act as a mask over the real concern. Bathroom sprays, on the other hand, get rid of the bacteria that creates these odors.
This leads to a fresh bathroom that is not overladen with fragrance particles. Here is a list of best bathroom sprays that you can get online and in stores.
8. Classic DIY air fresheners
Air fresheners have been around for quite some time, and rightfully so. They never fail to disappoint with their efficiency. Moreover, they are available for cheap and do not need constant monitoring.
Just open a packet and leave them on any surface, keeping you at rest for weeks on end. Give these a DIY twist by following along these techniques for making one on your own.
9. Air freshener 2.0- Gel-based
If you’d not disturb the aesthetic value of your bathroom by placing cubes of air freshener, look at this. These are gel-based fresheners built with unscented gelatin and some essential oils.
To up the ornamental value, you can play with food coloring and decorative trinkets as well. These are not only cute to look at but will make your bathroom smell amazing as well. They are also spill-proof, so you’re saved from accidental knock overs. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to make one.
10. Clean your Shower curtain
We are guilty of this one too. Shower curtains are the least looked upon bathroom accessory. They are often forgotten in lieu of cleaning and scrubbing away at other surfaces.
Remove them every once in a while, to rinse them out with a cleanser. This will get rid of any underlying odors that may be present due to continuous usage. If you’re too lazy to get them off their hooks, then use a spray bottle to spritz some disinfectant on, and let it wash away in the shower itself.
11. Clean Your Toilet Scrub
Toilet scrubs work away hard at cleaning every other grime but are hardly cleaned themselves. Colonies of bacteria can build up deep inside them if left unnoticed.
An ingenious way to keep them sanitized is to fill up a cylinder with disinfectant and let the scrub rest. This will make sure that the scrub is deodorized between uses and does not contribute to the skunk.
12. DIY Reed Diffuser
These mason jars not only look pretty but can also help to combat odor. Plus, they are refillable and will last a long time. All you have to do is place it in a safe area and enjoy the aroma wafting about as you take a shower. The best thing is they are made of biodegradable materials, so count it as a win for your senses and the environment.
Here’s a tutorial on how to make your own mason jar reed diffuser.
13. Get rid of Musty Towel Stink
Bathrooms are extremely humid, and if not aired out can become suffocating. Towels placed in bathrooms can also acquire a musty smell after some time.
