    Nothings unreachable with my boys Olive

    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?

    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.

    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!
