All of us like putting on clean and fresh clothes straight from our wardrobe, yet sometimes, we find our clothing doesn’t smell too good. Smelly laundry is a common problem, fortunately it is easily sorted.
What makes clothes smell good? Here are key steps in making your laundry smell beautifully fresh and clean after every wash.
Clean Your Washing Machine
Washing machines can become a bit smelly if you don’t clean them regularly. Dirt and bacteria can build up inside washing machines, which can make it difficult for your detergent to give you fresh smelling laundry.
The good news is that your washing machine will do all the hard work for you. Pour in some detergent, set the water temperature to the hottest setting, and run an empty wash cycle. All you need to do is sit back and relax.
Use Scented Laundry Detergent and Fabric Conditioner
The secret to fresh smelling laundry is to use a good laundry detergent and a good fabric conditioner. It will leave your clothes with a clean and long lasting fragrance. Fabric conditioner is also good if you or your family have a sensitive skin as it helps soften scratchy materials.
Even though you may think good detergents and fabric conditioners are expensive, next time you visit the local store, try out branded detergents. You will save more in the long run, as you will use less fabric conditioner and get that awesome fragrance you were looking for.
Clothing Care
Do you ever find that you’re so busy trying to get everything done that you sometimes put your clean laundry away while it’s still a little bit damp? This could be the source of your smelly laundry. Wet clothing needs to be completely dry before hanging in wardrobes or folding in drawers. If you put away damp clothes, mold or mildew could form which has a smell that’s not very pleasant. Always try to dry your clothes fully after washing.
If you’ve showered, applied deodorant, and moisturized using one of your favorite lotions, getting dressed into smelly clothing can be frustrating. Fortunately, it’s so easy to keep your clothes smelling clean and fresh with these 3 simple steps. Next time you open your wardrobe, there’s no need to worry just take a deep breath and enjoy the fantastic fresh odors.
