Some experienced housewives periodically put bay leaves under the carpet.
This action only seems stupid and meaningless.
After all, such an unusual way of using a popular spice gives a stunning effect.
Why put a bay leaf under the carpet
Let's imagine a situation: an old carpet lying on the floor in one of the rooms of your apartment has become a source of an unpleasant smell.
Why did this happen? Most likely, it is due to dustiness and severe contamination of the product.
It is clear that in this case the carpet needs to be vacuumed.
But be prepared for the fact that this action will not be enough. Yes, you will remove the dust. But the stench may remain.
What to do? This is where bay leaves come to the rescue.
Simply place 5-6 leaves under the carpet and leave them there for 24 hours.
The next day, check the condition of the floor product.
The result will pleasantly surprise you. Most likely, there will be no pleasant smell anymore. And all thanks to the bright aroma of bay leaf, which "masks" the stench.
Thus, bay leaf can be used not only for culinary purposes.
