The solution should be diluted to stop it being flammable, but it is that shouldn’t cost too much to carry out. Caitlin said the results “leave an amazing smell” and even “keeps dust away for longer”. People in the comments posted messages in admiration of the idea. “This is so smart,” one person wrote, while another added “Omg I need to try this”.

Others questioned if the simple solution would leave behind a sticky residue but Caitlin assured them there would be nothing left behind except a cleaner skirting board.
