Cleaning whizz shares four ways to make your house smell amazing before autumn arrives
A CLEANING whizz has shared her top four hacks to make her house smell amazing – and they’re perfect to try out before autumn arrives.
Mum Evangeline regularly takes to her social media pages to post her cleaning tips and tricks.
And she recently explained the easy, budget ways she gets her home smelling incredible – so much so that her friends even comment on it.
“Here are four hacks to make your home smell amazing for when you have guests round,” she began in a video on her TikTok page.
First up is soaking cotton wool pads in Zoflora.
“Literally just soak a cotton wool pad in Zoflora and pop it at the bottom of all the bins,” she explained.
“This leaves the bins smelling so fresh all day. I love this one especially for the food bin.”
For the next hack – one of her “favourites” – she revealed she puts tumble dryer sheets inside her cushion covers.
“These ones are from Lenor,” she said.
“They smell like fresh laundry, they smell so good. All you do is unzip the cushion cover and pop a few of them in the back.
“This has your sofa smelling amazing – especially when people sit down.”
To add even more scent to her home, Evangeline uses fabric conditioner on her radiators.
“Pop a little bit of fabric conditioner into a bowl, put some hot water in there and give it a stir,” she said, before using the mixture to wipe over her radiators.
“This is an absolute must have. My friend came over today and the first thing she said was ‘Oh my God, it smells so nice in here’.
“Honestly, this one works an absolute charm and it’s so quick as well.”
And Evangeline’s last hack is to use room spray on your curtains.
“I love this one, it’s great for a quick room refresh,” she said.
“Open the windows and every time the wind blows through the room, you will get a lovely fresh smell from the curtains.
“It lasts all day and you can do this in every single room.”
“Oh love these tips! My flat HAS TO smell good. I’m gonna try these,” one person commented on the video.
“The tumble dryer sheets… wow thanks for the tip!” another wrote.
“These are so clever, I usually put a few drops of essential oil in the bottom of the bin. Thanks for the tips,” a third added.
But others warned against the fabric conditioner hack, with one writing: “Worth adding fabric conditioner is highly flammable so it’s advised not to use it in anyway that it’s not intended to be.”
“Amazing tips but just be careful with fabric softener, god forbid but if there’s a fire your home insurance will be void if you have one,” another added.
“Good alternative is just soaking a cloth in zoflora and cleaning the radiators rather than the fabric softener,” a third commented.
