Lime Shoe & Drawer Freshener

Lily & Loaf

Bring a burst of bright citrus fragrance to smaller spaces around your home with this easy DIY Lime Shoe & Drawer Freshener.

Using just a cotton pad, a small dish and a couple of drops of Lime Essential Oil, you can create a simple home fragrance accessory for shoe cupboards, drawers or other enclosed spaces.

Lime's lively, sharp and zesty aroma makes this a lovely way to add a fresh botanical fragrance to everyday storage areas.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 drops Lime Essential Oil

Directions

    Step 1: Prepare Your Cotton Pad

    1. Take a clean cotton pad or cotton wool ball and place it on a suitable surface, ready to add your essential oil.

    Step 2: Add the Lime Essential Oil

    1. Add 1–2 drops of Lime Essential Oil directly onto the cotton pad, allowing the oil to absorb.

    2. Place the scented cotton pad into a small jar lid or shallow dish.

    Step 3: Position Your Freshener

    1. Place the dish beside your shoes, at the back of a shoe cupboard or inside a drawer.

    2. Make sure the scented cotton cannot come into direct contact with shoes, clothing or other stored items.

    Step 4: Refresh the Fragrance

    1. When the citrus aroma begins to fade, simply add another drop of Lime Essential Oil to the cotton pad.
