RADIATORS are being turned on this month as the temperature outside starts to drop, and there's a clever way to make your entire home smell fresh as the room warms up.
Homeowners are suggesting scent pods placed on top of radiators can instantly freshen a room.
Posting the hack on Facebook, one woman showed two scent pods placed on top of the radiator.
She explained: “Wow!!!! Was recommended to pop my scentsy pods on my radiator O-M-G The smell is unreal.
“You can still smell them all the time when radiator is cold then heating comes on and boom it’s amazing!!!!

The Scentsy pods cost £10.80 for a pack of two, with fragrances including Amazon Rain, Coconut Lemongrass and Jammy Time.

Commenting online, one person said: “Ooh off to find my pods!”
