Pink.

Another tip is to add some essential oil to a tissue or cotton wool. Vaccum it up and it makes the house smell lovely.

Or using an old used tumble dryer wipe thing. They do the same thing. I think face wipes probably would to if they were dry enough.

I use a damp earl grey teabag.

Essential oil on cotton wool is a good idea, you can also pop it behind radiators to make the room smell nice and put some under your car seat instead of dangly fresheners(lasts longer too)

I put a few drops of oil into a plant spray, add warm water and simply spray a fine mist over carpets & furniture - not too much, as you don't want anything wet and it's best done when you can leave the room empty/unoccupied for half an hour (or more).

Too stingy to use essential oils though - just use M&S pot-pourri oils
