FEATURES ODOUR 10 Bad smells are never a good thing, but they are far more prevalent in summer than they are in winter. Heat and humidity are a breeding ground for bacteria, allowing the associated smells to travel further and faster. CHT looks at the best ways to keep things smelling fragrant as we enter the summer months. SUMMER CLEAN 16 Parents, films, books, television and society in general all tell us that spring is the best time for a full, proper clean. For centuries the practise of scrubbing the whole house from top to bottom when winter ends has been ingrained in Western culture. But more and more experts are suggesting that if you only go to great lengths to keep your home or workspace clean then summer might be the time to do so.
