    For any card makers and scrapbookers use baby wipes (cut in half) to clean rubber stamps.

    If you are using the silicon type bath/worktop /glazing sealants that need to be removed from your hands with white spirit, use baby wipes instead. Kinder to your hands and the environment.

    Use up any old cheapish perfume sprays (that are past their best) as air fresheners.

    Wouldn't the smell then clash with whatever perfume/aftershave you normally wear, unless you used the same one of course, but I'm not sure I'd want to waste my perfume on the ironing board ;)

    Put a small dish of bicarbonate of soda in your fridge and it kills strong odours and keeps it smelling fresh.
