Although the time has come to put the central heating on and shut the windows for the winter, it's easy to keep your home smelling fresh and clean.

Not all cleaning jobs take the same length of time and there are plenty of quick fixes that you can do each day which will make the task of the weekly clean much easier to handle. Follow our simple tips to let that fresh-air feeling waft through your home all day long.

• If you're in a rush in the morning leave any unwashed pots and pans to soak in soapy water. Adding a few drops of Fairy Liquid will ensure that any greasy grime has been tackled before you get home, making it easy to wash up quickly.
• For an instant fresh smell, simply spray Mist & Refresh by Febreze around your home and any lingering smells will disappear in moments. Unlike some other air-fresheners on the market, Mist & Refresh removes unwelcome odours, rather than masking them, so your home will smell clean and fresh immediately. A quick spray of Febreze Air can work wonders!
• Keep dirty laundry in the linen basket. Encourage your children to keep their rooms tidy and to put their dirty clothes in the linen basket.
• A vase of scented flowers, like lilies, freesia or hyacinths, will bring a wonderful fresh fragrance into your home, and will act as a focal point too. Bear in mind that a cool room is best for prolonging the life of cut flowers, but a room which is too cold may stop your flowers from emitting their full fragrance.
• Renew washing up cloths when they start to carry an odour.
