How to have a delightfully aromatic home...

Love these stories! Will never look at a bottle of fabric conditioner in The same way again. Those of you suggesting vinegar and/or bicarb; how much and when and where do you add it?

When DD was a toddler she picked up a tin of paint and dropped it on the lounge carpet, it was black gloss.
We did manage to get it all off but it was a race against time before it dried. Fabric softener smells a lot nicer than paint.

Not a tip but my sons cousin when little decided to help her mum clean. She emptied a bottle of cooking oil onto the sofa to dust it. ... to say the air was blue is an understatement

I once dropped a bottle of Guinness on my kitchen floor. It's amazing just how far a small bottle of this lovely liquid can spread - it just kept giving, and had a lovely 'head' on it. My kitchen smelled like a brewery for days afterwards.

Many years ago when my children were toddlers, I’d dragged them to a supermarket and done a huge shop for Christmas. When we got home I felt exhausted and frazzled after struggling with somewhere to park, the checkout queues, and everything else that went with food shopping at that time of year.

While lugging the many many bags in, one split and a large glass bottle of ribena smashed and splattered everywhere. Keeping my cool is one of the things I’m still quite proud of. I’ve never bought it since!

I might try a liberal application of fabric conditioner to make my flat smell nice.
Despite my having emptied the bins and lighted a candle, there is still a faint whiff of poopy nappy, courtesy of my toddler grandson!

We were in rented accommodation after we sold our house about 20yrs ago when our children were teens. It had very pale green carpets throughout.
Youngest son was carrying a full plate of spag bol through to the dining room and tripped up. He fell almost flat on his face but somehow managed to keep his plate level. I don't know how he did it. a nearly spillage story.

I suffer badly from hay fever, when I used conditioner it badly effected my breathing much better since I stopped using it, use small cup of white vinegar in final rinse it separates any pollen from wash but does not smell, so no worries about people assuming I work in fish & chips shop

My son has, for many years, used the plastic-bag conditioner refills (intact) in his car for just such a purpose.
Much more effective and cheaper than other deodorants.

He just pops it under his seat and the car smells lovely for months.

Then it's relegated to the laundry!
