No one likes a stinky bathroom. And although air fresheners can be a big help on that front, they can take up quite a bit of counter space. Options like plug-in wax melters and gel air freshener cones might not seem big, but in a small bathroom they can make a huge impact. Cutting down on countertop clutter like this is one of the best ways to organize a small bathroom. Luckily, you can eliminate air freshener clutter from your bathroom counters all together with a simple zip tie hack.
When searching for DIY remedies that'll leave your bathroom smelling fresh as can be, zip ties probably don't come to mind immediately. However, the handy little cable ties can help you hide a secret air freshener behind the toilet, in the shower, and in a range of other spots throughout the room. One of the upsides of this hack is that you don't need to rely on store-bought air fresheners. Actually, homemade options are probably even easier to work with, so you can try to make an all-natural air freshener with common kitchen ingredients and a sachet.
How to make zip tie air fresheners in your bathroom
To use this zip tie hack, first you need to find a suitable air freshener — something small that a zip tie can easily wrap around. A small DIY sachet filled with aromatics, for example, would work wonderfully. Car air fresheners also work well because they tend to be small and easy to work with. These Wonder Wafers Air Fresheners are a good example because you can easily punch a hole in them and slide your zip tie through. Once you have an appropriate scent, attach your zip tie to the air freshener, then wrap and close the tie around a hidden area in your bathroom.
You can use the zip ties to hide air fresheners behind your toilet on the toilet water supply line, for example. Alternatively you can hook one around the end of your shower curtain rod. If you don't care too much about concealing air fresheners but still want to clear up counter space, you can zip tie them to shelves, cabinet pulls, and towel racks.
