Making Clothes Smell Clean with Unscented Products

Making clothes smell clean and fresh is an expecation from all consumers of laundry products. But with the growing movement toward unscented and hypoallergenic product, how can you make sure your clothes not only look but also SMELL clean and fresh? We’ve rounded up our tips and tricks to make your clothes smell clean and fresh, even when utilizing unscented laundry products.

Choose High-Quality Unscented Detergents: 

To ensure your clothes come out smelling clean, start by selecting high-quality unscented detergents. Look for products that are specifically designed to remove odors effectively. These detergents often contain enzymes that break down and eliminate odors, leaving your clothes smelling fresh without any added scent.

Pre-Treat Stubborn Odors: 

For particularly stubborn odors, pre-treating is a great way to tackle the issue. Before washing, apply a small amount of unscented detergent directly to the problem areas and gently rub the fabric together. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to penetrate the fibers and break down the odor-causing substances. Then, wash as usual to remove the detergent and odor.

Optimize the Washing Process: 

To maximize the cleanliness of your clothes, it’s essential to optimize your washing process. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Separate Loads: Sort your laundry by color and fabric type to prevent any color bleeding or damage to delicate items. This ensures a more effective cleaning process.
• Use the Right Water Temperature: For most fabrics, warm water is sufficient to remove dirt and odors. However, always refer to the garment care label to ensure you’re using the appropriate temperature.
• Avoid Overloading: Overloading the washing machine can hinder the detergent’s ability to clean your clothes thoroughly. Allow enough space for the water and detergent to circulate freely.

Making Clothes Smel Clean with Enhance Drying Techniques: 

Proper drying techniques can contribute to the overall freshness of your clothes. Follow these guidelines to make the most of your drying process:

• Dry Thoroughly: Ensure your clothes are fully dry before folding or storing them. Dampness can lead to musty odors over time.
• Utilize Fresh Air and Sunlight: When possible, hang your clothes outside to benefit from the natural freshness of the air and sunlight. This can help eliminate any lingering odors and give your clothes a delightful clean scent.

Embrace Natural Deodorizers: 

If you desire a slight fragrance without the use of scented products, consider natural deodorizers. Place a fabric sheet or sachet filled with dried lavender, cedar chips, or baking soda in your drawers or closets. These natural options can help absorb any unwanted odors and leave your clothes smelling pleasantly fresh.

Remember to choose high-quality unscented detergents, pre-treat stubborn odors, optimize your washing and drying techniques, and incorporate natural deodorizers for that extra touch of freshness. With these methods, your laundry will be a delight to wear, leaving you feeling confident and ready to take on the world! So go ahead, “take a load off,” and let Laundry Care handle your laundry needs.
