There are times when you don’t have time to do a full house clean but need a quick freshener. Maybe you have friends popping round or you have 15 spare minutes before you need to leave for work. Here are some fast cleaning hacks that will maximise what you can do in a short space of time.

Plumping up your sofa cushions – this makes a massive difference to your living room making it instantly look tidier, you could give the cushions a spritz with a fabric freshener too, leaving the room smelling fresh and clean.

Make your bed – straightening out your bed sheets and scatter cushions on your bed make the room look neat and tidy in a matter of minutes and spraying on a bit of a crease releaser will tidy up your sheets making them look freshly ironed.

Tumble dryer sheets – you can use these on the mirrored surfaces in your home to give a lovely shine and the simply pop the sheets just behind the radiator. When the heating comes on a beautiful smell will fill your home.

Flip your reeds – If you love reed diffusers and have them dotted around the house you may not realise that it’s recommended that you turn the reeds over once a week. Doing this help to disperse the scent more evenly and will give your room a real burst of fragrance.
