Makin' It Smell Good...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563) 4 years ago

I love when my laundry smells fresh and clean. Sometimes though it just comes out smelling baked. We can’t hang clothes out to dry outside so they have to be dried in the dryer. I use dryer sheets most of the time b/c I can never remember to add fabric softener in the washer. I did however remember that I have something called a Downy Ball. It’s a clear plastic ball with an opening. You pour the fabric softener in, toss it in the washer and when it’s time to add the softener the ball’s opening pops open releasing the fabric softener. I was thinking of going back to using fabric softener.

Do you use dryer sheets or fabric softener? Do you use a Downy Ball or similar item? Does the fabric softener make the clothes smell better and still control static? What brand of dryer sheets and/or fabric softener is your favorite?

I am in the move of getting natural laundry solutions.
I found one green store close by and I will try it.
I want to make my own softener and laundry solution.
I like clothes to smell good, but also my house to be chemical free.
Take care,
HUGS

Nothing like warm freshly washed cloths more so in the winter.

I know how many ppl feel this was.You seem to walk around sniffing at the washing.

I love the smell of freshly washed laundry. I dry my clothes in a dryer and I simply use a fabric softener sheet. Due to a tight budget, I used a generic brand.

I have not seen or heard of a Downy ball. Maybe next time I'm in a store, I'll check it out. I'm definitely interested in something that will make my clothes smell better.

I love it when my clothes smell good and until now I still use Downy as a fabric softener and I love to smell this fresh odor on my sheets.

i use the liquid downy on the blankets and the towels.i kind of have to for the towels,because i have a family member that when they do pick them up,throw sopping wet facecloths in the hamper,and..wow..the stink.it's about the only thing that makes them smell nice again.

I absolutely love my downey ball! I used to use an off brand fabric softener and dryer sheets to save money but splurged once and bought the actual downey. What a difference! I use both the liquid and the dryer sheets so my clothes smell extra good!

During the summer I use liquid if I am going to hang outside. Otherwise I use fabric sheets. FOr me and my laundry including sheets n towels, I use the Walmart brand of lavendar/vanilla. I use to use the downy brand but found these and they are just as nice.
For my husband, since he said he doesnt' want to smell like foo foo, I use bounce no smell.
When I want to hang out side, I take a little of the fabric softner and put it in the wash water. It softens the water, and lands I need it.
Have a great day!

I use dryer sheets. The brand and scent varies from time to time. I get whatever smells good when I am at the store. Tight now I think it is Snuggles lavender something.

i love when my laundry smells good too but i tend to steer clear of the heavily perfumed ones because of all the chemicals in them. they are so not good for you. unfortunately the better things smell the more chemical additives they have and the more toxic they are.
