Making my bathroom smell like fresh linen - all the time

Hi All.
How do you get your bathroom smelling fresh and lovely all the time?
It is cleaned every week, and touched up daily. But I'd like to get it having a like fresh linen all the time.

The diffusers seem to go so quickly and cost a fair bit, any other hints?

Short answer; you cant, not really, unless you buy one of those automatic spray doodahs.

Try washing your shower curtain/bath mat/net curtain each week.
Or spray a mix of fabric softener and water daily onto the net curtain.
Or a capful of clean linen zoflora either down the plug holes or in the bog brush holder

I spent 45 quid on a Neom diffuser last week and I'm very disappointed, can hardly smell it.

Air fresheners are full of chemicals, avoid them. Fresh air is always the best thing! Open a window

Use scent boosters in your wash and do your bath mat and towels with them

I like the Zoflora idea. I do have the windows open all day which is fine in the 'summer'. I've been dissapointed with diffusers too, they need a really small space to be effective

I pull the shower curtain outside the bath at night so the hem isn't clinging to the tub and going mamky

Wash once a week or so

Method Ylang Ylang is my favourite daily cleaner and an Astonish Lime Blast Limestone spray weekly .

Open the window all the time

Wash everything every week and get it dry every day. A smelly cake of soap somewhere. And lots of fresh air. Lots.

Zoflora down your drains and loads of fresh air

They're absolutely hated on here but with 2 ds and a dh it's needed so I have an automatic doodar. I love it! And yes the windows are open but that air on my busy road doesn't smell like linen unfortunately.

Im a great fan of zoflora . I dampen the cloths Im using to wipe the sink and vanity and loo with it, and I also use in on a cloth to wipe the radiators and skirting boards, door frames , banister etc. Lasts for ages

A bowl of washing powder in your bathroom, as if it is pot pourri.

You get nose blind to constant smells

Can anyone recommend a soap that smells of fresh linen? There seem to be a few online but nothing I've heard of or can actually smell. Thanks
