I sliced up some lemons and oranges and simmered in a pot on the stove top. I was doing alot of cooking today and this wasn't a very strong smell, so I hope you don't mind that I added two sticks of cinnamon as well and it turned out to be a lovely scent throughout the kitchen and den. Thanks, Lauralie41!

I sold my first house using this recipe. Someone told me to put this on the stove to simmer before the showing and I got an offer on our house the next day. LOL

I used some squeezed lemons & limes leftover from making cordial. The house smelt lovely & fresh while it was happily simmering away. The smell doesn't really permeate afterwards though which is a shame, would have loved for it to stick around a bit longer!

I love a citrus smell. This was very easy and simple to do. Made for Holiday Tag 2007.

Today is monday so that is cleaning day. I wanted to try this great little find and WOW you should smell our house. I used two oranges, two lemons and next time want to try it with a couple limes too. I simmered this slowly while I was happily ok not really cleaning but the smell sure made me happy. This is a great recipe lauralie that will be done again and again. Highly recommended for those who love your house to smell oh so fresh.

I only used a few lemons in this recipe, but used orange and mandarin as well. The wonderful scent permeated throughout the kitchen and was so wonderful and aromatic!
I used older fruit that I knew the family would not eat, so lost nothing really in making this terrific recipe.
The water left in the pot was a beautiful combination of orange oil with water, pity I coudln't think of what to use the leftover water for, but I am sure there would be something!

I have got this bubbling away right now - used a combination of lemon and mandarin slices and threw in a cinnamon stick as another reviewer suggested - just gorgeous !!
