Spring is almost here and the sun is starting to shine. In doing so it highlights all the dirt and marks in our homes and a Spring Clean is absolutely essential.

We love our homes to look bright and fresh and yet we all know that it can be quite an effort to get them to this state. So in our home we like to inject a little fun into the event. This year as part of our Spring Cleaning we have made zome zesty mandarin air freshner.

 

 

Here is how we made it.

You need

Small wooden blocks

Tupperware tun with lid

Mandarin Oil

Paint brush

 

Method

Simply place your wooden blocks into the tupperare box and then paint them all over witht he oil.

Then add a little more ooil and leave the cubes to soak int he

sealed tub overnight so the cubes absorb all the oil.

Make sure you wash your hands really well.

Arrange the cubes inb a pretty bowl and leave to fragrance your kitchen.

 

Other things that help you keep your kicthen sparkly clean:

It is worth investing in a sturdy dustpan and brush as well as a great mop to keep your floors gleaming.

Cleaning windows with soap water and a scrunched up newspaper is a tried and tested trick (and alledgedly much better than vinegar.)
