That's a good idea Jenny but it wouldn't work for me - I don't think my trusty bottle of Ecover laundry liquid would have the same effect. I should have mentioned that I don't use artificial scents or chemicals around the house if I can avoid it - I'm looking for something natural to do the same thing. I'm sort of hoping that someone will have a favourite 'scenting the airing cupboard' recipe or something... I'm not even sure that such a thing exists but there's no harm in hoping is there?
