What is it about cleaning products being scented with either that super fake “lemon fresh” aroma or something highly chemical? I don’t know about you, but even the thought of it turns my stomach. 

Instead of these basic or overpowering smells, I always tend to opt for cleaning products that have more natural scents. Think: fresh, fruity and seriously zesty. 

If, like me, you’d rather your home didn’t smell like a public toilet, it’s time to swap out the items you’re using – without compromising on the actual cleaning. 

Wondering what the best nice smelling cleaning products are that actually work? I’ve rounded up a selection of a few best buys that I use again and again.
