What do you use to make your house smell nice?

[miss.cinders]

I make a mix of bi-carb & essential oils. One of them large shakers for herbs, fillit with bi-carb and 6drops of EO's. Sprinkle all over the house about 1/2 hour before vacuuming.

Appart from that I burn oils.

Burn incense mostly. We've also got those diffuser things with the thin sticks in them (I have no idea what they're called!) bought a few from Myer to stick around the house....they have some really nice scents to choose from.

Thanks for sharing everyone! I think I might go and check out some oils or a reed diffuser. I love the bicarb and EO idea too!

ETA - Sarah - Dragon's blood sounds interesting! Where do you buy that from?

vanilla carpet powder when i vaccum and vanilla partylight melts, works a treat, its all about layering the scent

I'm usually a windows open for at least part of the day girl and only oils in the mix when cleaning, but we just lived in Darwin for a bit where everything is musty and damp, and like Astolady, I loved my aromatic reeds. YOu can get them in lots of places.
I have climbers too and can't have candles or oils burning. Another way I sometimes do it is put a couple of drops of oil on a cloth and wipe over cold light bulbs. That way when they're turned on they heat the oil and emit the fragrance.

Great idea about the lightbulbs Kim! I'd love to have the windows open, but it's FREEZING here in Melbourne atm LOL!

I'm definitely leaning towards the reeds

It's an incense flavour (flavour? scent?), you can get it from most new age sort of shops.

Ohh I used to use the Vanillan Fridge spray at work it was DIVINE! You give a light spray on the northern facing curtains, and when the sun hit mmmm smelt gorgeous!
