Drop a full roll of toilet paper into boiling water like this and what you build from it in the next few minutes will fill your home with a fragrance that lingers for weeks, quietly and continuously. Let's begin. Take a large pan and pour in 1 liter of water. Set it on the stove and bring it to a full rolling boil. Once the water is boiling steadily, take one complete roll of toilet paper, the whole roll exactly as it is, and lower it gently into the pot. Press it down with a spoon or tongs so the water begins penetrating every layer of the roll from the outside in. Continue pressing occasionally as the paper soaks, ensuring the water reaches all the way through to the center. Once the roll is fully saturated and has become completely soft and pliable, locate the cardboard tube at the center and remove it. The tube simply pulls free once the paper surrounding it is wet enough. Press the roll gently once more after the tube is removed to ensure even saturation. Now, take a plastic food storage container and begin layering the softened paper pieces across the bottom, pressing them down lightly to create an even base layer. You do not need to fill the container to the top. A consistent layer across the full base is exactly right. Now, drizzle one full capful of fabric softener evenly across the surface of the softened paper. Choose a scent you genuinely love for your home. Comment yes if you're going to try this at home. Sprinkle pre-scented coarse salt generously across the surface of the softener soaked paper. Sprinkle it evenly so no area of the paper surface is left uncovered. To finish, take a piece of aluminum foil and press it firmly over the opening of the container, sealing the edges tightly all the way around. Then, take a toothpick and pierce small holes across the surface of the foil in an even pattern. These holes are the release mechanism that controls how the scent disperses into the surrounding air. And now, the reveal. What is sitting inside that container is a natural long-lasting home air freshener, built from toilet paper, fabric softener, and scented salt, sealed beneath foil and then metered out through tiny holes. The result is a subtle, continuous scent. Rate this tip from 0 to 10.
