We have already talked here about caring for clothes when the seasons change, but the truth is that these practices should be maintained throughout the year if we want to keep everything organized and ready to use at any time. With this in mind, today we are sharing some important tips for keeping clothes smelling fresh in the wardrobe.
Care during washing
Even before putting everything away in its respective cupboards, it is important to bear in mind a few aspects that will help fabrics retain a pleasant fragrance for longer.
Check that the washing machine is clean and in good condition (if it is not, it should be serviced); always use fabric softener in every wash (this gives clothes an extra fragrance, as well as a softer feel); hang the clothes out immediately after washing and, preferably, outdoors to prevent them from developing any unpleasant smells.
Perfume your clothes when ironing
This is another additional step that will help keep your clothes smelling fresh for longer. When ironing them, use a scented spray and spray them. In addition to the various options available to buy, you can always prepare a mixture of water and a few drops of your favourite essential oil.
Keep cupboards clean and well ventilated
Make sure that cupboards and drawers are properly clean and well ventilated. Otherwise, even if you take every care when washing and ironing your clothes, you will be faced with unpleasant odours when it is time to wear them.
Use scented sachets in cupboards
You can choose from the various products available on the market or make your own natural air fresheners. To do this, simply fill small fabric bags (preferably made of thick fabric) with your favourite scents: lavender, rosemary or citrus peels are just a few examples.
Hang the sachets on hangers or place them in drawers, next to the clothes for subtler results or among them for a more intense effect.
