She then uses the sticky backs to place them in and around her closet, including on the top and the sides.

“[My one] Zwitsal fades very quickly so I have to do this almost weekly. When I use the essential oils of laundry parfum, it smells good for weeks.”
Shedding further light on the method, @jusivince_cleaning told her followers that you have to remember to stick the sanitary towels in “softly” so that they don’t ruin the inside of your closet.
She explained: “Someone said it damaged her closet, stick it softly. I hope it works for you too.”

I’m a kitchen expert – 7 easy tips to keep flies out of your kitchen this summer, including a 80p hack

“The heat causes an increase in flies and means that house flies are more likely to multiply in hot weather,'' said Polly Shearer, kitchen expert at Tap Warehouse.
''This could see tens of thousands of flies buzzing around kitchens in the UK.
“We recommend our preventative measures to stop flies and insects breeding in your kitchen this summer.”

Polly explained: ''Whatever you put in your bin will rot, however, this process speeds up during the summer months due to warmer weather.
''This will attract flies, insects and maggots, so it’s important to clean and empty your bin more frequently during summer.''
To avoid this problem, a great hack is to sprinkle the powder at the bottom of your bin before putting in a new bin bag.
''The baking soda should absorb any smells and liquids that leak out of the bag.''
STORE FIZZY DRINKS IN THE FRIDGE
As well as the sweet sugar, fruit flies are also attracted to the carbon dioxide found in fizzy drinks.
If these are left out, the kitchen flies might begin to gather around the area - especially if there are spillages.
''Be sure to wipe any spillages and clean the bottles to prevent fruit flies from being attracted to them.
''You can also store your fizzy drinks in the fridge to keep fruit flies away from them.''
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
If you often find your kitchen full of fruit flies, fear not, as there is a cheap solution - one that's most likely already sitting around.
This effective remedy is apple cider vinegar.
Simply fill half a glass with it and cover it will cling film before poking small holes into it.
''This should attract the fruit flies to enter the glass and you can then let them free outside of your home.
''It’s also important to store your fruit in the fridge to prevent flies from returning.''

With the weather being so nice, it's hard to find motivation to do the dishes - we're guilty of this too!
But according to the expert, leaving a pile of dirty dishes by the sink will attract flies.
''We recommend washing your dishes in the summer as soon as possible in order to prevent flies from contaminating your dishes with bacteria and even laying eggs on them.''
LEFTOVERS
Similarly, flies will also be attracted to leftover food - especially if it's still warm.
To prevent them from gathering around your lunch and dinner, as well as laying their eggs in your dishes, place the leftover food in a bag or a tub that can be fully sealed.
