Autumn has arrived, and it is the ideal time to refresh your home before winter sets in. One cheap, multi-purpose product left floors gleaming and the whole house smelling like the season.
For those living in older properties, keeping floors spotless and sparkling can be a challenge. Dust appears to materialise from nowhere, and finding products that deliver a shine is not always straightforward. After cleaning wooden flooring with one inexpensive item, the floors looked brilliant and the entire home smelled like autumn.
The pumpkin range
The hallway, kitchen and lounge all have wooden flooring, which is the first thing noticed when walking through the door. Floor cleaners often smell far too chemical-heavy, but the fragrance of pumpkin is hard to beat for a cosy, autumnal atmosphere.
Fans of the classic scent can find Fabulosa's pumpkin-scented products at B&M, Heron or anywhere else that stocks the brand. The cleaning brand's range is ideal for giving a home an autumn makeover.
Testing the cleaners
After putting the Perfect Pumpkin cleaner through its paces on the floors, it quickly dealt with spills and stubborn grime, leaving behind a wonderful fragrance that lasted for hours. Three different products from the pumpkin range were tested, and the concentrated multipurpose disinfectant came out as the standout performer.
All that is needed is a few capfuls mixed into a bucket of warm water and a decent mop, making sure to wring it out frequently for the best results. It performs brilliantly on both tiles and wooden floors, and the soothing pumpkin fragrance genuinely lasts, which is quite unusual.
Winner for autumn
The range also has a specific floor cleaner, but the concentrated cleaner was superior. It is also more economical, since it can tackle a broader range of surfaces throughout the home, including toilets, sinks and bins.
The multipurpose cleaning spray was also tried on the flooring. While it did produce a shine, it disappeared fairly rapidly, and the fragrance did not hang around for very long either. That said, it performed well on smaller jobs such as wiping down kitchen worktops and cupboards, and freshening up the interior of the fridge.
Overall, the concentrated cleaner was the clear winner. Boasting a sweet, spicy and warming fragrance, combined with impressive cleaning power, it is an autumn must-have for any pumpkin fans.
