I have always taken pride in my home, especially in the way it smells. Having animals and two kids its really important to me to get the house smelling lovely for when anyone comes round.

So on a trip to Tesco one day, I found these plug ins on offer. I don't really go for the plug in ones (as a saver of electric and to the environment) but at £1.99 instead of £6.99, I couldn't say no.

***Background***

Glade is part of the SC Johnson a family company, that has produce several of your everday cleaning products, such as:

Mr Muscle

Windex

***Product***
This item comes in a cardboard box normally with a small scratch and sniff bit on the front so you can smell and test which fragrance you are buying. You can buy the plug ins as:

A full starter set
Single refills
Double refills

The full set includes the actual plug in and a fragrance container and the refills are just on their own.
The full sets cost around £4.99 to £6.99 and the refills range between £2.98 to £3.98 in various shops like Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons and Ebay.
B & M Bargains are the cheapest I have found at £1.99 for the full and £1.29 for the refills.

There are several different fragrances that you can buy:

*Clean Linen
*Fresh scent
*Powder Fresh
*Rain shower
*French Vanilla
*Vanilla Breeze
*Spiced Rose and Vanilla
*Apple Cinnamon
and many more.

***Directions***
Open packet and pull out fragrance bottle. Unscrew cap from fragrance bottle and insert into warmer (plug unit), ensuring that you are putting the fragrance in upright into outlet.
Adjust warmer for desired fragrance level (1 minimum - 5 maximum) and plug into wall unit of choice.

***Precautions***
Unit will not operate properly if positioned sideways or upside down.
Do not place fragrance oil bottle or cap on painted, finished or plastic surfaces. Intended for adult use only.
Do not obstruct airflow. Keep away from furniture, fabrics, bedding and other materials that might present a fire hazard.
Do not use in small, confined pet areas without adequate ventilation.
If warmer is removed from outlet, separate bottles from unit and store in an upright position.

***Benefits***
Adjustable fragrance settings to meet your need and adds lasting freshness to your living room, bedroom or bathroom.
Some of the fragrances eliminate odors without just masking them.
You can tell when you need to change your fragrance as the bottle is see through.
You can easily clean the unit by unplugging and wiping clean with a dry cloth.
The fragrances will be really strong for the 1st 3 days and after that will level out and should last around 60 days depending on the level you put it on.

***Concerns***
There have been some concerns that these products were involved in home fires. SC Johnson have thoroughly investigated these concerns and have had a leading fire investigation expert indicate that there is no evidence that their products had caused any fire.

They did however recall one of their products, after discovering an assembly error in a small number of that product. There was no credible reports of fire related to this product.

All of their products have been thoroughly tested by Underwriters Laboratories and other independent laboratories.

***Overall***
This is a great air freshner product on the market, in fact one of the best. I have had mine plugged in for weeks now and the smell is still going strong. I tend to leave one in the hall way so you get the hit of fragrance as soon as you walk in and I leave one in the living room and one up stairs in the hall. The one I have in the living room is set on 4 and I have an open plan room leading to the kitchen, it manages to keep both rooms smelling lovely.

There has been some speculation about the safety of these but I am never concerned. If you are, then remove your plug in at night when you go to bed and plug back in in the morning.

They can be expensive so shop around. B and M's have the best prices and purchase a few while they are cheap. I would also say not to put these in childrens bedrooms as they can be quite strong even on a low setting and they may want to take them out. The oil in the containers are quite strong and avoid contact with eyes and mouth.

The spiced apple fragrance is really sweet smelling. It reminds me of Christmas so I always use this one at that time and in my living room so all the yummy smells mix together. I always get comments on how nice this one smells and combined with the fresh linen fragrance that I have upstairs it is great.

Overall great smells that last ages. well worth the money.
