Selling your home, having a party or simply having a clean.

The smell of oranges are fresh and clean giving a subtle aroma to any room. Many A listers and Hollywood realtors swear by this top tip. The way a home smells can influence a buying decision more than you would imagine. Our sense of smell is influenced by something called the common chemical sense and stimulating it with natural perfume makes us happy so fill the room with nostral flair and find good use for those old oranges at the bottom of the fruit bowl.

Take your oranges (or grapefruits) and put them in the oven on a low heat for a couple of hours while you are out doing what you do and you will be amazed at the fantastic aroma when you return home.The powerful smell of citrus will eliminate the stench of stale smoke, pet smells or any lingering odours from cooking. Creating a natural scent gives you a calming effect and saves a fortune on chemical plug ins.

Think eco. Some chemical air fresheners have been linked to cancer.
