Best way to make your house smell nice?

yes I use Zoflora too. I like the Spring Bouquet or Hyacinth. I dilute some into a spray bottle and after I've washed my front steps, and they've dried, I give them a spritz so it always smells nice for visitors

Another thing I do if we're going to have visitors is to fill the cloakroom basin with diluted Zoflora and let it out just before they come.

I also use it to rinse and spray the bins and dustbins

What sort of flooring do you have? Sprinkling bicarb on carpets and leaving for a bit then hoovering (you can also add essential oils) helps for a while.

I'm a big zoflora fan too - I'm very fond of the cinnamon one and I stock up in the winter to see me through the year! I find using it neat to wipe out bins is a great way to keep a room smelling fresh.

I have windows open too, including all night (weather permitting.)

But for a quick blast of something scented, I put a splash of fabric conditioner in the kitchen sink - with the plug in place of course - and add a kettle full of boiling water, it wafts very nicely throughout and makes the place smell of clean laundry!

Thank you everyone, once again almost missed this one as I didn't know I need to subscribe to my own threads! It seems Zoflora is very popular so I will have a look into it!

Thank you for this @elsien we have hardwood in the kitchen/lounge on the ground floor and carpet on the stairs and the two small bedrooms upstairs so I will be giving this a go!

Please be careful about using Zoflora around pets. You MUST follow the safety instructions or you could harm your pets.

I would suggest thorough deep cleaning, including getting a professional in to do carpets, rugs and furniture. It is also amazing how much dust and dander get trapped in curtains.

My son always freshens his car with fabric softner diluted with water and sprayed on the carpets and back seats. Smells lovely for days

last week i washed a denim jacket in ariel liquid and left it hanging in the hall to finish drying, it made the whole house smell lovely for a couple of days.

It's a good point and I should think it would be the same for any disinfectant or chemical based cleaning solution.
