Refilling air plug ins?

Options
Does anyone refill their air freshner plug ins? I know its not very money saving but I live in a flat with shocking cooking smells in the hallway with no windows and my flat dosnt have any windows in my hall so it stinks!

I have a plug in glade which is a bottle with a stem that goes through and heats up??? Science was never my strong point! Any ideas welcome.

  • I really wouldn't. I know some people on here have done but it's a massive fire risk - burning your flat down wouldn't be at all money saving!

    Hi Gingerbiscuit

    We have an existing thread on this topic which also includes warnings against hazardous possibilities:

    I'll add your thread to it later to keep the replies together.

    I've personally never bought one, so I'm not much help on the refilling of them. Although I wouldn't do it for the reason said.

    What I did want to say was, have you tried anything else. In a previous house we lived in, there was a sort of enclosed porch which always smelt fusty to me, no windows to open so maybe the same problem. I used one of those solid air freshners, they stand upright, I think Glade so them. These seemed to work for me.
