Let’s start today with a smile and a lot of hope!
So here we are again on the laundry subject, which reminds me I have to wash the towels tomorrow. This will be the last post about laundry I swear even though my laundry woes are never over but you know who is ever finished doing laundry. Unless someone comes up with disposable clothes I think we all will be forever doing laundry.
Ok so we all have those moments where life gets busy or we get distracted and forget to put the wet clothes from the washer into the dryer. Sometimes we forget them for 2 days, hint hint that’s me often. Well here is what I do especially if it’s the towels I have forgotten. There is nothing worse than showering and realizing there is not a single clean towel to be had. You go to the washer and there they all are, still damp but wooo the smell that comes out of that washer? You know that just a simple rinse is not going to cut it and you know it’s gonna take a full wash cycle to take care of that. I always go the extra step to make sure that I get rid of the smell so when we use those “clean” towels they truly smell clean. I will include the recipe below for how we deal with musty laundry
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 6-8 drops Purification essential oil
• normal amount of laundry detergent (see our Liquid Laundry Detergent recipe!)
Directions
• Start your washer.
• Add the baking soda, Purification essential oil, and usual amount of laundry detergent to the washer.
• Add the musty laundry.
• Run a wash cycle as normal.
• Repeat if necessary but we’ve found that one cycle is usually enough.
• Dry as usual. (We love our Wool Dryer Balls to help speed up drying time, especially with towels!)
For a huge boost in freshness, we add 2 drops of essential oil to each dryer ball about 5 minutes before we load them. This allows the essential oils to be absorbed. Our favorite is Citrus Fresh essential oil blend. But you can use whatever scent makes you happy!
