Why should you flush bay leaves down the toilet?

Do you like natural solutions to maintain your interior? Here’s an easy recipe with bay leaf that might surprise you.

Boil a litre of water, add five bay leaves, then let it infuse off the heat until completely cooled. This infusion, once poured into a bottle or used directly, becomes a natural alternative for cleaning toilets. By rubbing with a brush, you remove impurities while pleasantly perfuming the place. And above all, no aggressive products on the horizon!

Laurel, a natural repellent against small invaders

Tired of finding flies or mosquitoes in the bathroom in summer? Or the little critters a little too curious in the cupboards? The laurel has more than one trick in its leaf.

Thanks to its strong smell, it naturally repels many insects such as flies, moths, mosquitoes and even cockroaches. Just place a few leaves in strategic areas: near windows, in dark corners, behind furniture or around vents.

No need to overdo it: a few well-positioned leaves are enough to limit the presence of these unwanted visitors, while bringing a little touch of freshness to the room.

An economical, eco-friendly trick… and smells good!

What we like about this method is that it ticks all the boxes: natural, easy to set up, economical (laurel is very affordable), and effective. And then, there’s a little bit of personal satisfaction in using grandmother’s remedies that actually work, right?

You don’t need to be an expert in homemade products to adopt it. The hardest part? Remember to take some more when the jar is empty!
