How do you make your home smell lovely?
mine always smells of wet dog and the bin in the kitchen.

open windows every day.

i burn essential oil blends and burn a lot of beeswax candles in the hall.

mine doesn't either.... in fact the nicest smell i achieve is a mix of bleach and fabric softener... and i have the windows open every day ,... and i live in the countryside (tut)

oooh waswondering. i have alady who does and i feel dreadful sitting down at all when she is here. what does your house smell of ?
expat.. waft it over ere then 1

raggydoll...countryside smells ? some not so good ?

Not much use in the summer but during the winter I mix fabric conditioner in water and then wipe down the radiators. Makes every room smell lovely

open the windows and doors as much as possible. clean the bin as much as possible. I have an emergency Crabtree and Evelyn "cook's spray" for if the bin is bad. it's lasted over a year.

raspberry blowing withdrawn

I try not to fart more than necessary

lact8.. like that idea..means that radiators will get cleaned too.

dont have too many lighted candles then scummy !

bake some biscuits

emergency incense sticks for when the cats have done something aawwful in the litter tray...

Nothing I ever do to the kitchen can over power the slightly damp and doggy smell, apart from when I burn a saucepan!

Empty bin, Open windows.

What is wrong with wet dog smell?

If I wasn't a paranoid mother I would also burn lovely log fires in winter.

Clean the bin properly with bleach and hot water or antibacterial spray once a week, every week.

Open windows, and have v small kitchen bin that only fits one carrier bag.

then when it's full (at least once a day) you have to go and put it in the dustbin in the garden. Means there's only ever one day's worth of rubbish in the kitchen so it never gets too smelly.

i know mrsn... just after they've 'fertilised' all the fields. its smells of sh*t for months.

i mix water and fabric softner in a spray bottle and spray on all the carpets after hoovering
