When you hear “carpet freshener,” you probably think of, well… carpets and don’t get me wrong Smelty Shake is phenomenal at freshening up your carpets, but you know what? That’s just the start.

Let’s look at all the other brilliant ways you can put your Smelty Shake to work around your home and even beyond.

Stinky Bin Odours (Yes, Even the Wheelie Bin!)

Bins can get nasty fast especially when the weather’s a bit warmer (hello, unwanted “bin juice” smells).
Sprinkle a little Smelty Shake directly into your kitchen bin, outdoor wheelie bin, or even your bathroom bin. It works like a deodorising powder for carpets but for bins! Every time you lift the lid, you’ll get a fresh burst of scent instead of… well, you know.

Pongy Sinks: A Freshen-Up Trick You’ll Love

Here’s one not many people know: a small sprinkle of Smelty Shake in your kitchen sink, followed by kettle-hot water, can freshen your drains and plugholes like nothing else.
The heat helps release the scented home goodness into the air while giving your sink a much-needed refresh.
(Obviously, don’t clog your sink with loads of powder a spoonful or two is perfect.)

Door Mats: The Unsung Heroes That Need a Boost

Your front door mat takes a daily beating with muddy shoes, pet paws, you name it.
A quick dusting of carpet freshener over your doormat, followed by a good shake and vacuum (or even just a brush), keeps that welcome-home smell lingering every time someone steps inside. Trust me, visitors notice it even if they don’t say anything!

Car Carpet Freshener? Absolutely But Patch Test First!

Let’s be real our car interiors can get a bit pongy.
You can sprinkle a small amount of Smelty Shake onto your car mats or seats to freshen them up, but always patch test first in an inconspicuous spot. Some materials are fussy.
Give it a few minutes, vacuum it up, and voilà, a ride that smells better than any air freshener could hope for.

Mattress & Soft Furnishings: A Teenagers Bedroom Refresher

If you’ve never tried using a carpet freshener like Smelty Shake on your mattress, you’re missing out.
Lightly sprinkle, leave it to sit for 30 mins plus (a cup of tea or twos worth of time is perfect), then hoover it up.
Same goes for soft furnishings like sofas and armchairs but again, patch test first because fabrics can be a little sensitive sometimes.

A Few Quick Reminders…

• Always patch test on delicate fabrics, car interiors, and anything you’re unsure about.
• A little goes a long way no need to cake it on!
• Smelty Shake is designed to be a pet-friendly carpet freshener, but common sense rules apply: keep curious pets away during and immediately after application until vacuuming is done. Pets have allergies like us too so read the allergens section on our products.

So next time you grab your Smelty Shake, don’t just freshen carpets, freshen your whole world, a sprinkle and a shake at a time.
