Rooms, refrigerators, freezers, offices and other places sometimes have musty or smelly smell for various reasons, which makes people feel uncomfortable. To deal with these air problems, many people first think of using air fresheners. There are many air fresheners on the market, and the principle of most products is to hide the original flavor. Although these products have strong function and low cost, they are easy to cause secondary pollution and harmful to health after long-term use. If you grow mint at home, you may wish to use mint as an DIYer freshener yourself, which is green, healthy and pollution-free.

There are many varieties of mint, some are rich in flavor and some are light in flavor. When used to make air fresheners, it must have a strong fragrance to achieve the deodorization effect. Therefore, in the choice of mint raw materials, try to choose mint, spearmint, perfume mint and other fragrant varieties. It can be picked and used immediately when used, and the fragrance of fresh mint is stronger.

Generally, you can put a handful of fresh mint in the refrigerator to deodorize it once every three to five days, and there is no odor for a long time. If the bad smell and peculiar smell are serious and take a long time to take effect, use more fresh mint, mash it, put it in a bowl and put it in the refrigerator.

If the air in the living room or office is not very serious, you can find a water cup or vase, fill it with half a bottle of water, and insert a handful of mint into it, preferably the kind that has been uprooted, so that it can emit fragrance for a longer time. If mint is fed in water, it cannot be changed for a long time. However, as long as there is a source of mint, it is recommended to replace mint as soon as possible after one week, because the ability of mint to emit fragrance will be seriously degraded in an indoor environment for a long time. If the indoor air pollution is serious, you can put more vases with mint in every corner, or put mashed mint in every corner.

The aromatic component of mint products is mint oil, in which menthol and menthone are the main aromatic substances. These aromatic substances can be dissolved in ethanol (alcohol), which is very volatile, and so are these aromatic substances. Therefore, when the fragrance needs to be quickly dispersed into the indoor space, especially when there are many mosquitoes in summer and the fragrance needs to be quickly volatilized, mint can be mashed, put into a bowl, and then some high-alcohol liquor or alcohol is poured in and stirred. After standing for 15 minutes, blowing violently under an electric fan can quickly deodorize and repel mosquitoes and kill indoor bacteria.
It should be noted that if a large amount of alcohol is used to brew mint, there must be ventilation in the room, especially in a narrow room, otherwise a large amount of alcohol vapor will stay indoors, which may lead to fire in case of open flame or electric spark.

All the above methods are ready-made, and it takes a long time to trouble, so you can't carry them with you and use them everywhere. Is there a convenient method like perfume? Of course, we can also make our own perfume to repel mosquitoes and freshen the air. Collect a lot of fresh mint, dry it quickly, and then find a container that can be sealed, such as a wide-mouth glass bottle with zero non-staple food on the market. Put mint in it, press it, and then pour in alcohol or highly alcoholic white wine, just before mint. Seal the mouth of the container, and then put it into a pot filled with water for boiling water bath for more than half an hour. After taking a bath, take out the container, let it stand and cool, and then put the supernatant into a perfume bottle or a small sprayer to be used as perfume.
