Method 1: The Cinnamon Sprinkle Method
This method is best if you want a noticeable scent.
Place the toilet paper roll on a flat surface.
Carefully unroll a few outer layers.
Lightly sprinkle a very small amount of ground cinnamon between the layers.
Roll the paper back up gently.
Let the roll sit for about one hour so the scent spreads evenly.
Important tip: Less is more. Too much cinnamon can stain or create dust.
Method 2: Cinnamon Stick Core Method (Cleaner Option)
This is the most popular method because it avoids powder completely.
Take two or three cinnamon sticks.
Slide them inside the hollow cardboard core of the roll.
Place the roll in your bathroom as usual.
The cinnamon sticks slowly release fragrance every time the paper is used, without touching the paper itself.
Optional: Essential Oil Method
If you prefer zero spice contact:
Add 1–2 drops of cinnamon essential oil to the cardboard core only
Let it dry fully before using
This provides scent without residue.
Ways to Customize the Scent
You can adjust the experience depending on your taste:
For a softer smell: Use just one cinnamon stick
For a cozy winter scent: Add dried orange peel to the core
For a spa-like feel: Combine cinnamon with vanilla
For guests: Use a fresh roll prepared just for the occasion
What This Hack Is NOT
It’s important to be realistic:
It does not replace cleaning
It does not disinfect your bathroom
It is not meant for direct skin application
This hack is about ambience and comfort, not hygiene shortcuts.
