I love smelling laundry, don't you?
Especially my sheets and towels.
But I don't want to use scented fabric softener such as Lenor or Cajoline.
Not only is it expensive, but it's also full of endocrine disruptors and synthetic fragrances... No way to sleep in there!
Fortunately, there is a simple and natural trick to make your laundry smell really good naturally.
Grandma's trick is to pour lavender essential oil into the wash tub . Watch:
- 1 teaspoon of essential oil:lavender, ylang-ylang or orange blossom for example.
1. Put your laundry in the washing machine.
2. Pour the spoonful of essential oil into the wash tub.
3. Launch the usual program.
And There you go ! Your laundry is now perfumed and smells so good :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Thanks to the essential oil, your laundry will smell good for a long time!
In addition, this trick is much more economical than buying a scented fabric softener!
Be careful not to put essential oils directly on fragile or delicate linen, otherwise you risk staining it.
You can also soak a washcloth with essential oil, and slip it into the machine.
If you use soap nuts, pour the essential oils on the small pouch that envelops them.
The essential oils leave a pleasant fragrance on the fibers of the laundry and diffuse during washing.
And no health hazard! No toxic products or endocrine disruptors on your laundry.
However, it should not be put on baby clothes.
