As soon as the roll is finished, that small cylinder ends up straight in the trash, without anyone imagining its potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What few people know is that this simple cardboard box can become a practical, economical, and very useful solution for the home. With just a few ingredients you probably already have at home, you can transform it into a natural air freshener capable of eliminating bad odors and improving the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why reuse the cardboard tube?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although its primary function is to hold the paper, this material is ideal for absorbing and gradually releasing aromas. This makes it the perfect base for creating a homemade air freshener that can last for several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, reusing it helps reduce waste and make better use of what we already have, without spending extra money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create this natural flavoring, you will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 tablespoon of grated scented soap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon of coffee (ground or instant)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 grated garlic clove<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon of baking soda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tablespoon of white vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cardboard toilet paper tube<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 old toothbrush<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step by step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Prepare the cardboard tube<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using scissors, make cuts at the ends of the tube (approximately 3 cm deep). Then, fold the ends inwards to form a kind of box or container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Apply the mixture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a toothbrush, place the mixture inside the tube, making sure to cover the inside well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
