Autumn has arrived, and it is an ideal time to refresh the home before winter. While spring cleaning is often discussed, tackling the same tasks in autumn is a good way to prepare for colder months.
In older properties, keeping floors spotless can be a challenge. Dust appears from nowhere, and finding products that provide a shine is not always easy.
A Cheap Multi-Purpose Solution
After cleaning floors with one cheap and multi-purpose item, the floors looked brilliant, and the entire home smelled like autumn. The hallway, kitchen, and living room all have wooden flooring, making it the first thing noticed when entering.
Many floor cleaners smell too chemical, but the scent of pumpkin offers a cosy alternative. The cleaning brand Fabulosa has a range of pumpkin-scented products, available at B&M, Heron, or other stockists.
Testing the Pumpkin Range
Testing the Perfect Pumpkin cleaner on floors yielded impressive results. It quickly dealt with spillages and stubborn dirt, leaving behind a fragrance that lasted for hours.
Three products from the pumpkin collection were tested. The concentrated multipurpose disinfectant delivered the best results. A few capfuls mixed into a bucket of warm water with a mop, wrung out frequently, produced the best outcome.
Results and Recommendations
The product performs well on both tiled and wooden flooring. The comforting pumpkin fragrance lasts, which is unusual for a cleaning product.
The collection also includes a specific floor cleaner, but the concentrated cleaner proved superior. It offers better value for money, as it suits multiple surfaces, including toilets, sinks, and bins.
For experimental purposes, the multipurpose cleaning spray was also tried on flooring. It created a shine, but this disappeared rapidly, and the fragrance did not last long. However, it was effective for lighter tasks such as wiping down kitchen worktops, cupboards, and freshening the inside of the fridge.
Overall, the concentrated cleaner emerged as the clear winner, boasting a sweet, spicy, and cosy fragrance alongside impressive cleaning power.
