What 2 tricks using bay leaf are known to experienced housewives

Many housewives know that bay leaf acts as a reliable repellent for various insects, so it is used to protect cereals from the appearance of parasites.

Other housewives even fumigate their apartments with bay leaves, believing that this will improve the smell in the house and set the home to positive vibrations.

But there are a couple more uses that are worth trying.

Which ones are worth knowing about?

For carpets

Few people know that you can use bay leaves to clean your carpet. To do this, add five bay leaves, some ground cinnamon and a few cloves to a liter of water.

The "potion" is boiled for ten minutes over low heat. Afterwards it needs to be brought to room temperature, filtered and sent to a container with a spray.

Vacuum the carpet and apply the product. When it dries, you can brush it and vacuum it again.

For flavoring

Bay leaf is great for dealing with unpleasant odors. It is best to lightly crush the spice and put it in a bag made of natural fabric.

You can forget about the unpleasant smell for several weeks.
