Chris from Tirau asks, “What can I do to make my washing smell nice without spending a fortune on conditioner.”
Rosemary from Christchurch writes, “When my son came back from flatting he asked me what washing powder I used to get my washing to smell nice. I discovered that he had been overloading the washing machine and drying the clothes in a poorly ventilated room so they ended up smelling musty. I do a cold water wash with unperfumed washing powder. I hang it to dry in the wind and sun or inside in the sun on an airer and if necessary put a fan heater going to speed up the drying time. I hope this is helpful to Chris.”
Ann from Matamata says, “Use left-over perfume or aftershave that no one likes as fabric freshener.”
Kla from Stratford has this advice: “If you add a few drops of essential oils to your load they will come out smelling nice. Also if you use a dryer try adding a couple of drops to a clean rag or face cloth and add to the dryer with your load. That way the smell lasts longer.”
LAJ from Sydney says, “A few drops of tea tree oil in your wash will make it smell fresh and lovely and have the added benefit of being antibacterial.”
