Autumn is the perfect time to give your home a bit of a refresh before the winter, and our reporter found a way to give it a cosy scent
The autumnal weather is in full swing, and many of us are cosying up indoors. Spending a lot of time at home can be a big motivator to declutter and clean your home, so it’s a good time to try out some cleaning hacks.
Reporter Nicola Roy decided to give her home an autumn clean, but there was one area that she always found tough to tackle. Nicola said: ” If you live in an old building like me, you’ll know the struggle of trying to keep your floors clean and shiny. Dust seems to appear as if from nowhere, and finding products that give you that enviable gleam isn’t always easy.”, reports the Express.
But she recently found a product that worked, saying: “However, after recently cleaning mine with one cheap and versatile item, the floors looked amazing – and my whole home smelled like autumn too.
“My hall, kitchen and living room all have wooden flooring, so it’s the first thing you see when you walk in the door. Naturally, I want it to always be looking its best – but this is a lot easier said than done.
“And when it comes to floor cleaners, it’s really rare that I find one that I like. They often smell way too chemical-heavy – which I know is the preference for some people, but I want cosy vibes only.
“You really can’t get much more autumnal and cosy than the smell of pumpkin, and fans of this classic scent will want to run to their nearest B&M, Heron or anywhere else that stocks Fabulosa. The cleaning company has brought out a range of pumpkin-scented products that are perfect for giving your home that autumn refresh.”
Nicola loved the autumn themed range, saying: “After testing out the Perfect Pumpkin cleaner on my flooring, I was so impressed. It instantly got rid of spillages and lingering dirt, and left behind a gorgeous scent that lasted for hours.”
How to clean your floors
Nicola gave her top tips on floor cleaning: “When your floors need cleaning pretty much every day, you’ve got to get creative with how you do it. I’ve tried out three different products from the pumpkin range, and found that the concentrated multipurpose disinfectant actually worked the best.
“All you need to do is dilute a couple of capfuls in a bucket of warm water and mop away, making sure to wring it out every so often to get the best clean.”, she added.
She continued: it works fantastically on tiles as well as wooden floors. The cosy pumpkin smell that it left behind was unlike any other cleaning product I’d used before, and it actually stuck around too, which is rare.
“There’s also a dedicated floor cleaner in the range too, but in my opinion, the concentrated cleaner actually worked a lot better. I’d say it’s also better value for money too, since you can use it to clean far more areas of your home, such as toilets, sinks, bins and so much more.
“Just out of curiosity, I also tested the multipurpose cleaning spray on the flooring too. Spraying a bit on the floor and then using my Flash mop to buff it in, I noticed that it did leave a shine – but it faded away a lot faster, and the scent didn’t last long either. However, this was great for smaller jobs like wiping down kitchen worktops and cabinets, and even cleaning inside of the fridge too.”
Nicola said she’d recommend the inexpensive product to anyone: “Overall, the concentrated cleaner was the clear winner. Sweet, spicy and cosy-smelling, with intense cleaning power too, it’s a must-buy for pumpkin fans this autumn. The range starts from just £1 and you can pick it up from B&M.”
