Do you add anything to make your clothes smell good?

When I buy soap for clothes, I always open the ca and smell it because I don't only look at what the smell it says on the bottle; I like to use fabric softener first because it does soften the clothes and second it smells so nice and clean afterwards. Yesterday I bought something instead of the fabric softener, it is a piece of paper/cloth or something that I put on top of the wet clothes before I start the dryer, it is running now, I look forward to see if it works! What about you? Thank you for sharing!

I like T-Shirt very much. And I'm fat,too. So when I go shopping, I usually buy a big size one. I like cartoon. So I choose a cartoon T-Shirt. I don't like glue something in my shirt. I think it makes me feel disgusting when I wear it. About the smell of clothes, I think everyone always want clothes he/she wears have a good smell. Because when they wear these clothes, they will feel comfortable and have a good self-confidence in front of others.

The only thing I have ever added to my laundry was fabric softener. Clothes always seem to have a fresh cleaner fragrance and feel to them that way.

I’ve seen those; you’ll have to let us know if it works! I don’t use fabric softener anymore because a technician told me that it is not good for the washing machine so I have to rely on the washing powder to make the clothes smell nice.

Well I guess that's new technology. I haven't tried it yet since I never saw that yet in our malls. I am always the one who would do the laundry but I use only a fabric softener which I like it so much...thanks..

I think many of the washing powders or liquids in the shops smell terrible, really artificial, but some smell really nice. Like you I like to smell them all to find out which is worth buying.

Nope. Basically I do not care much. As long as the soap does it job and get my clothes clean, I am pretty fine what I buy off the shelves.

hi, mermaidivy. Usually I choose the detergent that fragrance free, and I only add the fabric softener to make it smell good. And actually it smell last longer that way.

No I don't add anything to make my clothes or my body smell good. I wanna try some natural scents, though.

I add scented fabric conditioner which makes the clothes softer and smelling good. Thus, ironing the clothes is easy and no wrinkles in the cloth make it more to use as wash and wear even without ironing..

I use fabric softener for this purpose, I think it works fine, so I have never really felt the need to try anything else for the same thing. Maybe I should though, I am sure there are better things than fabric softener around!
