How do I make my house smell lovely?

Someone told me this and I tried it and it really does work...
Empty spray bottle, small bottle of zoflora, a lid full of fabric softener and then top up with water. I use it for everything, wiping down the worktops, spray on soft furnishings, curtains, carpet, rugs, dogs bed etc etc.
You do get used to whatever you are using though and become "nose blind" so although you can't smell your air freshener, other people who visit would until they'd got used to it x
Also, use your radiators to dry towels or clothes that have been washed with a lovely fabric softener x

Perhaps it was his chat up line PamelaJ1 .
Have you read the list of chemical ingredients in your lovely fabric softener I wonder HappyBumbleBee?
I don't know what Zoflora contains.

Namsnanny is right about the freesias. Nothing smells better. Hyacinths smell lovely for a few days but the smell when they start to go over can be horrible.

Hate all this artificial smelly junk you get these days. Makes me cough or gives me a headache. Or both.

Freesias do have a wonderful natural fragrance, but the freesias you can buy in supermarkets often lack any fragrance at all. If I want to send flowers to family or friends I order from a grower in Cornwall who supplies only flowers in season and sends them beautifully packaged by first class post. All the recipients have told me how very fragrant their flowers are.

I think we'd better add to this by eliminating the 'old people' smell - as on the recent post!

Lucywinter not Freesias Im afraid!
annodomini … I find the freesias with the best and strongest fragrance are usually a red rusty colour. The second best are the white ones.
They're not available everywhere, and are seasonal, so not often in the supermarkets.

10 stems cost £4.99 in my local florist, good value I think!

I used to love freesias but the ones that I find now don't have that lovely smell. I tried to grow some but that wasn't very successful.

Plugins are awful. My neighbour uses one and it takes my breath away.

Coffee on the go and bread in the oven, these beat artificial smells. If you have pets you have to be careful with plug in diffusers. I believe that some oils are toxic to animals when the vapours are inhaled.

I've got one of Angela Strawbridge's scent diffusers in my bedroom which has a lovely light perfume. I've also got a Laura Ashley olive and lemon room spray which is lovely in the kitchen.

The problem is that we all go "nose blind" after awhile so if you consistently use the same thing you'll eventually stop smelling it. I clearly remember the smell of a friend's house which I particularly loved - Lord Sheraton furniture polish. I often commented on the smell but she couldn't detect it at all!

Happy Bumble Bee you beat me to it
Zoflora. Buy from Home Bargains or supermarkets.
Wipe over surfaces with zoflora diluted in water. Leave a capful added to water in container overnight. I love it !
There’s bound to be some chemicals in it but hey !
