My friend Kim knows a thing or two about scents, after working as beauty editor for years, and even studying with a “nose.” So when she recommends a product because she loves the way it smells, I’m inclined to listen. Her latest tip wasn’t a bath oil or room spray, but a cleaning product. “I love Pledge wipes,” she said. “But you have to get the ones with orange oil.” Indeed, these handy Swiffer-like wet ones do smell refreshing, and polished up our stainless steel countertops, vintage sideboard and cheapie Ikea LACK tables with equal grace. I even gave the hardwood floors a swipe with it. They looked and smelled lovely afterwards, but are now super slippery. The verdict: Wipe and whiff away, but stick to furniture!
