Laundry
Laundry

As a Housewife,I have tried numerous products to have fresh smelling laundry. With this affordable solution you can have fresh smelling laundry.We all love the smell of fresh clean laundry, unfortunately it is sometimes tuff to get the stale smell out of our husband's work clothes or our summer beach towels. With this very simple solution your laundry should always smell fresh.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • One cup of laundry detergent
  • One cup of white vinegar
  • One capful of fabric softener
  1. Step 1

    First add one cup of laundry detergent to your load of wash in your washing machine. I prefer to use Tide laundry Detergent.

  2. Step 2

    Let your wash go through the wash cycle.

  3. Step 3

    Next add your cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle along with your capful of fabric softener. You may add fabric softener at the start of your wash if you have an automatic dispenser.Any brand of white vinegar will do,but I do prefer Downy fabric softener.

  4. Step 4

    Finally line dry or machine dry clothes and your result will be fresh smelling laundry.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you line dry your laudry outside on a crisp fall day ,you will get that natural fresh outdoors scent.

on 9/26/2009 Thanks - This should help too when you leave your laundry in the washer to long after it is done and it has a moldy smell. Rewash with a little vinegar.
