There is nothing a women dreads more then her
mother in law’s first home visit. I discovered this when I moved out of my in
laws place and into my own home . This momentous moment came when my husband
switched jobs and got himself a better job in another city. My mother in law
was vociferous about the fact that I am naïve about household matters and would
not be able to look after the household or her son. I took this as a challenge
and as if trying to prove my ability to look after my house and husband invited
my dear mother in law to come and stay (read inspect) my new home and my skills
to look after the household . Was it self confidence or had I made the biggest
folly of my life only time could have told. It was decided that my mother in
law was to visit us after a month this would give me thirty days to set my new
house and make it tidy, neat and clean. I felt that it would be enough time to
set up my new world and showcase my skills to my
mother in law and the rest of my family but at the back of my mind I also knew that my mother in law is very particular about cleanliness and orderliness. She had the eyes of a hawk when it comes to finding mistakes and can pinpoint even the minutes mistake which others often overcome. Thus from day one I meticulously started setting up my new home. The house that we moved in had been locked for many months thus it had a mustly smell. The kitchen was so positioned that the aroma and odors of whatever was cooking in the kitchen found a way to reach the living room. Even the bathroom had a damp smell which invaded even our master bedroom. So in the process of setting up the sofas,curtains, carpets and rugs I started a regime of having the entire household swept with phenyl . This reduced though not entirely the persistent disagreeable smells but also made my house smell like a hospital ward .As the time was running out I began to panic and as it is said
“Jab dava nahin toh dua kaam karti hai” meaning when medicine does not work prayers do so I started burning incense sticks in every nook and corner of the house. The new concoction made the home a notch better but it was no where close to acceptable levels. As the D Day began to come closer I began to panic and sought advise from my mother . She suggested that I use the Ambi Pur Air Effects Spring & Renewal Aerosol Air Freshener. Heeding her advice I procured the product from the market. Knowing fully well that this was the last opportunity to save the day. I used it around the house and waited with baited breath for my mother in law to arrive. The moment she entered she took a deep sniff and smiled at me approvingly. After all I had been intelligent enough to pick my mother in laws favourite aromas that is jasmine to wipe out all the bad odors and make my house smell clean and fresh. This was a great learning experience for me that taught me that
no home is complete without Ambipur and that picking up your mother in laws favourite is one of the ways to get her approval. Thank you Ambipur for saving the day for me.
