Air Fresheners

Options
Hi all :hello:

Don't know if anyone is interested but I was finding that the plug in air fresheners were getting very expensive. The likes of Glade/Ambi-Pur etc, cost anywhere from £4-5 upwards and then the refills are just as expensive.

In town in Saturday I was killing time and popped into Poundland.

They have now started selling plug in air fresheners.

I got 2 to try but thought you get what you pay for but they were really very good. The expensive ones are no better so just thought I'd let you know.

It's better than spending £5 a time :D

    Just remember to switch these off when you leave the house as they can set alight ... then that would be the most expensive £1 you ever spent!

    Yes good point. I normally only leave them on for an hour or so at a time though ;)

    Didn't realise there is a fire risk with these. I just plug mine in when I buy them and never switch them off. Maybe I will start to switch them off now.
