Home Bargains shopper shares 'brilliant' 70p air freshener radiator hack

One Home Bargains shopper thought of a unique use for an air freshener she bought, and others have called the idea "brilliant".

The budget retailer sells Swizzels Drumstick Squashies air fresheners for 69p in a range of flavours.

While most commonly used inside cars, the savvy customer came up with an idea to improve the smell of her home.

She tied the item to the end of one of her radiators, and claimed the result was that her home smelled "amazing".

Taking to the Cleaning tips and tricks Facebook group, she wrote: "One of these on a radiator makes the room smell amazing particularly my teenage son's room who I don't trust with a wax warmer".

Before long, the post had received almost 900 likes and over 300 comments from fellow consumers sharing their thoughts on the unique idea.

One said: "Ooh that’s a good idea don’t trust my son with a wax warmer either as he sticks his fingers in the wax".

"I do this with magic trees black ice, smells beaut," a second revealed.

"Brilliant idea," a third simply stated.

A fourth shared: "I've never thought of this!"

"Trying this," commented a fifth.

A sixth echoed: 'I'm trying this thanks".

"I hang an air freshener above my front door so it smells nice as soon as I come in," posted a seventh.

After being asked where she picked up the air freshener from, the shopper wrote: "From home bargains and any air freshener works. The yankee candle ones are nice".

Another Facebook user confirmed: "Just seen these in home bargains 69p"

Some Facebook users weren't convinced (Cleaning tips and tricks Facebook group)

"Need to go to Home Bargains," a second replied.

Some members of the group were convinced by the idea of leaving an air freshener tied to a radiator however, and questioned its safety.

One commented: "I have these but it says on the packet don't put near radiators".

"I'd be worried they caused a fire," a second said.

The original posted responded: "You can hang them on door handles instead, every time the door opens the smells goes round the room".

"If worried about putting them on the radiators maybe try door handles wardrobe doors or even curtain pole ends," a second agreed.
