Why Put a Clothespin Above the Shower? Once You Know, You’ll Always Do It!

It may seem like an odd place for a clothespin, but once you discover this clever trick, you’ll never take a shower without it again. Here’s why thousands are hanging a clothespin over their showerheads—and why you might want to start too.
🌿 A Simple Trick for a Spa-Like Shower
This surprising method uses a wooden clothespin and a few drops of essential oil to completely transform your bathroom into a personal spa.
How it works:
- Take a wooden clothespin (plastic won’t work as well).
- Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil—eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, or peppermint work wonderfully.
- Clip it onto your showerhead or curtain rod—anywhere steam can reach it.
As the hot water creates steam, the heat activates the oils in the wood, gently releasing a refreshing, relaxing aroma into the air. It’s a natural, inexpensive way to enjoy an aromatherapy experience while you shower.
Benefits:
✅ Clears nasal passages
✅ Boosts mood and energy
✅ Relieves stress and tension
✅ Fills your bathroom with a clean, natural scent
Bonus Uses for Wooden Clothespins Around the House:
- Keep food bags sealed (cereal, chips, flour)
- Organize cords and keep them tangle-free
- Bookmark your spot in a book or paperwork
- Prevent utensils from slipping into pots (clip to handle)
- Display photos or notes creatively using string and pins
Now that you know what that clothespin can really do—go ahead and give it a try. You’ll never look at this humble item the same way again!
