WHY I NEVER MISS A BUNCH OF LAUREL IN MY HOUSE AND WHAT I ALWAYS USE IT FOR (Page 3 ) | June 24, 2024

In more particular cases, you can also keep the bay leaves inside the flour itself , taking care to inspect carefully and store these foods in glass containers, to avoid contamination.

Furthermore, I also place it in furniture where there is no food, because this gives it “complete protection” even from ants or silverfish which, although harmless, are not pleasant to find when opening a piece of furniture!

It helps me absorb bad odors

Have you ever tried boiling bay leaves after cooking ? Whether you are preparing your digestive herbal tea or not, a handful of bay leaves boiled in a saucepan will help you absorb all the bad smells from the kitchen :

I prefer to use only bay leaves in the saucepan, but when I want to give my kitchen a different scent (depending on my preferences) I combine it with cloves, mandarin peel or cinnamon powder .

However, if I feel that my vacuum cleaner gives off a bit of a bad smell (this has happened to me a few times), I put 3 chopped bay leaves in the bag and that solved the problem, also leaving a pleasant fragrance as I passed it.

Helps protect clothes in the closet

We have seen how laurel is a natural repellent against insects of all kinds and moths cannot be missing from this appeal . Our sweaters know this very well..

But I don’t use bay leaves alone. Very often, when I’m running out of bars of hand soap, I let them dry, then cut them into small pieces with the help of a knife. I break the bay leaves with my hands , mix them together a little and put everything in a perforated bag.
