Pretty-smelling room spray/cleaner?

[deletedit]

Grotty fingermarks are just oil from your skin with dirt stuck to it. We get those off with a spot of dishwashing liquid in some warm water in a bucket. If you've got mould from little people and not water damage, that would just be food smeared on the walls so will come off with the same stuff.

I'm sure you can get every scent of dishwashing liquid there is

Thanks so much for your suggestions, ladies! I cleaned the walls with the Vanilla spray that smiles4u suggested (which smells AMAZING!) and got the tough spots (pencil/crayon marks etc) with a bit of cream cleanser. So far I've only done the hallway and lounge room but the entire house smells just gorgeous - and who knew the walls were so white under all that dust?

Fleur, the lemon oil idea on light fittings etc sounds delish, too - will definitely have a go at that! I might try and slip one of the new Glade vanilla candles into the grocery shop tomorrow heheh I looooove vanilla smells!

Thanks girls, I really appreciate the suggestions

Add water-miscible lavendar to your shopping list too, it's available in Woolies near the medicines usually (sometimes the cleaning products).

Put a little (not even a half capful) in a water sprayer full of water.
When you make up their bed, give a little spray over the sheets, and each night give a spray over the bed. Also it's great as a rinse (a drop or 2) in the washing machine.

I know it's probably totally impractical but I like to use those Sicky Fingers baby wipes to dust! It makes my place smell so yummy! It just doesn't last long enough though

^ Haha I used baby wipes to dust our picture frames! I have never dusted anything before in my LIFE! Had to give everything a wipe over with a paper towel when I was done (J&J tend to be pretty greasy) but they're all sparkly now Wow, my house actually looks presentable for a change

Not sure if you have carpets or floor board but if you have carpets there is a carpet deodoriser spray in vanilla that is gorgeous. I buy it from woolworths and it costs around $7 but goes a long long way.
