HM room / air freshener / deodoriser

Olliebeak

I've heard that half an onion on a saucer placed in a room can help to get rid of the smell of paint after it's been decorated. Would that work, Jackie?

Or what about some bicarb in a dish?

Mmmm the plot thickens! I wonder why ours makes the whole house smell. It is really fresh from an excellent fish stall and obviously I open the appropriate windows and close connecting doors.
Somebody once told me about some special citrus candle that worked:rolleyes:

Hows things other than fish related Reverbe?

I also use oil burners - and use different oils for different times of the year - Lime and Bergamot in spring - because it's an invigorating smell and so makes you want to spring clean . I used Jasmine and Rose Maroc in summer, moving on to Sandalwood and Mandarin for autumn. In winter the house smells gorgeous as I use Cinnamon, Cloves, Frankincense and Myrrh. All bought on-line after much research for the cheapest place and stored in a box away from the sun.

I use metal burners btw as I have known the ceramic ones to explode if they accidentally burn dry :eek:.

I also have one of the Avon linen sprays (given as a gift) and once emptied I refilled it with Lavender, tiny amount of vodka and topped up with water. I spray my bed-linen with this and it even helps with falling asleep .

As someone who always switches channel when that child comes on wanting to do a poo at Paul's house _pale_, there's no need for sprays at all - just strike a match, or even two, as any unpleasant gasses are burned away . I'll bet they never had this problem with outside loos :rotfl:.

isn't that the most irritating and stupid advert on T.V. at the moment I would cheerfully drown both the daft simpering Mum and the obnoxoius child :mad::mad::mad::mad: I really mustn't take things so seriously:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

1. Open all the windows in the house for ten minutes if you can and let a good refreshing breeze blow through. But watch your downstairs windows very carefully to ensure no intruders climb in and get some quick pickings, especially your house and car keys !)
2. Essential oils are good, especially lavender.
3. Those Indian-type joss sticks are quite effective too. There are various "flavours". I always opt for Lavender or Citrus, which I find are the most effective.

Oh you have made my day - your post made me laugh out loud :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I feel exactly the same way - personally I know where I would love to stick his head - and his mother's - then a quick flush :T:T:T problem sorted .

You'd have Social Services round if you let a little kid light matches. :rotfl:

Oh yeah! Totally agree

So pleased I'm not the only one who wants to make it so that little brat can't sit down for a week!

Makes you wonder what these advertising guys are thinking of when they come up with the scenarios! Do you get the impression that it's American and dubbed with English voices?
