How to make house smell nice NATURALLY

[NannyL]

ok

i made veg soup on saturday and for some reaosn all in smell is vegetables.

I dont own and REFUSE to use any form of chemical airfresherner.

obviously in this weather i cant just open all the doors and windows or i'll freeze

Im sure ive herd you can just boil some lemon or lemon juice or something?

well i have a couple of lemons (and oranges) can anyone tell me what to do next please?

Thanks

I'd go with the open windows for half an hour and stick an extra jumper on.

can you warm some essential oil (diluted in warm water) in a burner?

i cant eblieve you all want me to freeze LOL

Open the windows.

Make a curry - that will get rid of the veg smell! lol!

open the windows! Nice fresh flowers too.

orange oil or lemon oil

in burner or couple drops in water to mop floors (if you were mopping them anyway, don't make special effort )

Is there really no other option apart from opening windows?
I can't open mine as I have birds in the sitting room and unfortunately their jumpers are in teh wash

We tend to brew a lot of coffee if we get bad smells but apart from that we can't do much else.

"obviously in this weather i cant just open all the doors "

yes 16 degrees is freeeezing

celaning will make it smlel nice

A peeled onion on a plate

lol

put some cinnemon sp? sticks on atray in the oven for half an hour

cod you are a weird fish

the other day you were all 'ooh looks cold' on the dress thread like a granny

and then you're telling other people to fling open their windows

NannyL might be in Orkney for all you know not swimming in Southern climes like yourself

I still haven't forgotten my children crying with cold after you said we were wusses for not going to the park

How about doing some ironing or hanging clean washing to dry on the radiators.

I really would open the windows at least a little bit though.

Isn't there some tip from Anthea Turner which involves putting a couple of drips of essential oil in a dish of bicarb of soda and leaving it in the whiffy room?

I thought the onion was for gloss paint

god i had forgottent hat cappy!

I can't clean with smelly stuff though, it will kill my birds. I have to use natural products that don't smell strongly....which means my room is clean but still smells of toddler sick (currently)

(sorry for hijacking NannyL but I am dying to see what people suggest!)

yes hte dress was too cold to wear in decemeer
tis a mild autumn day todya

LOL at you all

well im down south so ok it cant be that cold

will open all windows for 15 mins MAX and see what happens

theyll eb high!arf

Open the windows.

And, when you cook, open the kitchen window while cooking and make sure you keep the kitchen door closed to prevent the smells escaping and permeating the rest of the house.
