Pretty-smelling room spray/cleaner?

[Glamourcide]

My mission: to scrub the house from top (yup, ceilings!) to bottom before next Friday, as the grandparents are coming up from Melbourne for a few days.
And I need help!
I have set down a daily roster of tasks that need to be done in order for it all to be completed on time (I am SHOCKINGLY BAD with general housework, let alone a complete spring clean), going good with that (except when the DDs decide not to cooperate with naptime/TV time and let me get it done).

What I would very much like assistance with from you ladies, is tips on WALLS. I need to give them a good clean to get rid of the dirty little fingerprints, stray pencil scribbles, and in some spots of the house, mouldy patches. And, if it's not too much to ask (lol ), I would like this particular spray/cleaner to be very pretty-smelling - vanilla if possible (please? Love the stuff!).

I would say feel free to hit me with the nastiest chemicals you can imagine (I already did the bathroom and toilet walls and ceilings with lavender-scented disinfectant diluted in water, in a spray bottle, then just wiped off with a Chux), but the worst mouldy patch in the house happens to be on the bedroom wall right next to DD2's cot (she sleeps in a port-a-cot), so if I could have something that's baby-friendly there, I'd appreciate it. Everywhere else, it's a free-for-all

Any advice and tips would be super-welcome! TIA

Ah righto i hear ya as i too like nice smelling cleaning products & espesh vanilla scent, only thing is the products i'm about to suggest i don't think are ideal for mould (??) as i haven't tried 'em for that !!

I use a spray product called Vanilla Fresh (it use to be called Vanilla Wipe) made by McLintocks ... it's not a heavy duty cleaning product for tough jobs IYKWIM, i use it to clean the bathroom, toilet and kitchen area including inside the fridge. It's antibacterial & an all purpose cleaning product.

Another item that smells divine (though not vanilla) is Windex Glass Crystal Rain (no ammonia) can be used to sparkle polish mirrors but also can be used on tiles, stainless steel, chrome, appliances and counter tops.

You could try Sugar Soap for the mould, as long as it's not pretty bad mould (again doesn't smell like vanilla, i think it's gonna be hard to get anything remotely nice smelling that would remove mould)

(Items mentioned above you an get from the supermarket eg, Coles ... Sugar Soap also from hardware like Bunnings but i'm sure supermarkets sell it too)

If ever after a disinfectant i love Aldi's lavender disinfectant, funny as i'm not a big fan of lavender but this smells gorgeous !

Hey good-luck with the grandparents staying, how sweet (Are they your grandparents or your DD's ??)

It probably doesn't smell that great but Gumption is the best for getting marks off the walls. Is it possible for you to get the Glad plug ins or something for the house? You don't have to have them on all the time, just an hour or two, makes the house smell gorgeous

a few hours with the windows open really goes a long way xoxo

I use the Avon vanilla room spray occasionally. It's a bit strong for the 1st half hour or so but it's quite nice after that

I would use sugar soap on the walls ...as for smell, I have a spray bottle filled with an essential oil mix OR - just as good, I looooove lemon - wipe a bit of lemon oil over doorknobs, window sills, lightbulbs (when the light heats up the oil heats too).

Of course if you don't like lemon, use another I get my oils from the health food shop or chemist.
