How to perfume laundry?

It's always nice to have laundry that smells good.

If you want that to be the case , there is a very popular trick that has emerged on social media.

It is very simple, fast and efficient. Just add 10 milliliters of the essential oils of your choice to the fabric softener compartment in your washing machine, which is in the middle and is usually colored blue. Then run a wash cycle as usual.

Just look for the right scent: Lemon, Ylang-Ylang, Mint or Lavender are great options.

Use the wool dryer balls you may already have to add a small amount of vanilla essential oil or any other scent you like before each cycle to give your laundry a new scent.

  • Peppermint Laundry Soap

Try peppermint soap for clean, fresh laundry without the chemicals that usually come with scented detergent. Always check the manual of your washing machine to make sure that there are no contraindications for use on the type of detergent.

  • Lavender water (or lavender hydrosol)

Pour lavender water into a bottle fitted with a spray bottle and quickly spray your laundry before placing it in the washing machine. Sufficient amount of fragrance will remain to keep smelling fresh for a long time. Don't like lavender? Try your favorite essential oil . Rose or orange blossom water can be good options.

A clean and green house!

A black soap stain remover: in a bottle, pour a capful of liquid black soap, three tablespoons of baking soda, then shake. To treat a very dirty or stained item of clothing before going through the washing machine, put a dab of this mixture directly on the traces, then leave to act for twenty minutes before putting it in the machine.

An ash detergent: throw four glasses of ashes (preferably from dry, untreated wood, and sieved to keep only the powder) in two liters of hot water and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat, cover and leave to stand for twenty-four hours before pouring everything into a container, taking care to filter with a fine cloth to keep only the liquid. You can optionally add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to flavor it.

A white vinegar fabric softener: dilute a tablespoon of baking soda in 250 ml of water, then add 150 ml of white vinegar (the mixture foams a lot). If necessary, add fifteen drops of essential oil (lavender, mint, rose, lemon, pine, etc.) to flavor. Shake gently several times, opening the bottle between two mixings in order to evacuate the gas resulting from the reaction. When starting a wash cycle, shake the bottle and pour the equivalent of a mustard glass into the softener compartment of your machine.
