Additional tips for fresh-smelling clothes:
If you’re still wondering how to keep your clothes smelling fresh, there’s a few more easy steps you can follow to achieve this, including:
Drying Clothes Properly
If you want fresh-smelling clothes after washing, make sure you dry washed clothes correctly. Whether you are hanging your clothes on a line outside, or a clothes rack inside, make sure to give your clothes the time and space they need to finish drying and make sure to never store damp clothes.
Not leaving clothes in the washer
Leaving clothes in your washer for extended periods of time may increase chances of damp developing. Make sure you’re on hand to remove your washing load from the machine as soon as your cycle finishes, in order to avoid that musty, damp smell and get the freshest clothes possible.
Regularly cleaning your washer
After several dirty loads, your washing machine will pick up a bit of dirt and should be cleaned on an empty cycle. Regularly clean your filter, door seal, detergent drawer, and drum to ensure that there isn’t a build-up of mould and bacteria which could be transferred to your clothes. This will keep your laundry load clean, and your clothes fresh.
Washing smaller loads
It may mean you have to spend some more time washing, but to ensure that your clothes are fresher, and your Fabric conditioner, Scent Boosters, and detergent can leave their mark on each item in the load, be sure to not overload the washing machine with your fabrics
