4. Shove a load in the machine/s.
It doesn’t matter if it finishes or if it even makes it onto the line tonight, the main thing is that it sounds like housework when your other half walks in the house. Enhance the effect by doing both the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time; it’s ‘I’ve had a productive day’ in stereo.
5. Open the windows and let fresh air in.
If the house smells like last night’s meal, then it’s pretty obvious you’ve prepared no dinner tonight. While it doesn’t put meat and three veg on the plate, it might buy you enough time to whip up some sneaky two minute noodles with tuna (for a gourmet touch).

I’m going to do all that right now 😉 lol another good one is to run around the house spraying air freshener….
Ohhhh I like that idea Aussie K!
Thais is pure awesomeness!
I love it too 🙂
If surfaces look clean it feels clean 😉
Definitely 🙂
pull the dona/quilt over all the beds, makes them look properly made and makes the whole bedroom look much tidier,
I agree with that tip bb3!
For those who use a dish rack, take some clean dishes out of the cupboard and put them out (with a splash of water on them) pretending that you washed them today. Can do the same with clothes. Put some previously clean clothes folded into piles on the couch- ready to be put away (again!). And for bonus points, leave the vacuum cleaner in the hall wall/lounge, somewhere obvious, so it looks like it ‘actually’ got used. “Honey, What have I done today?? I’ve washed and folded 3 loads of washing today, done the dishes, cleaned the toilet AND the bathroom (I like the bleach smell idea hehe), and vacuumed the WHOLE house!! What haven’t I done today?!” I like it 😉
Good one td!!! 🙂
Another good one is to spray Mr Sheen or another similar cleaning product near the front door so as soon as your OH walks in the smells hits them and they assume you’ve been cleaning around there 😀
Love it Anne-Marie!
I have a mixture of fabric softener and water in a spray bottle
You can use it on everything makes dirty clothes towels carpets curtains smell clean and if uve left you washing in the washing machine for a bit longer and it’s starting to smell hang them out then spray that into it it’s like freshly washed
That’s great Chrissy1!
