I use them in my fridge, limes also, it keeps it lovely and fresh.

Never actually done this myself (we have electric heaters and can't put anything over them! ) I read it in a magazine though, using herbal teabags with a little water on and then placing them on a warm radiator apparently lets off a lovely aroma! I suppose there are loads of different falvours to try!

Hi i use lavender and tea tree essential oil in water to wipe down my kitchen tops and sinks and in the bathroom snd the smell is lovely, lavender and tea tree are naturally antibacterial as well. I sprinkle lavender oil on my pillowcases, its nice and relaxing.

A little essential oil on light bulbs is good too, when the bulb warms up it releases the smell.
