8. Always try to dry your clothes naturally (outdoors if possible)

Another great hack to make your laundry and bed sheets smell great is by hanging them outside and letting them dry naturally. Unpleasant laundry odors are only one of the many problems that a little fresh air may heal. To get rid of the first scent, hang smelly clothing outside on a clothesline or even on the back of an armchair in the breeze for a few hours.

Wash clothing with strong odors, such as smoking, with a high-end detergent that offers both a deep clean and a heightened fresh aroma.
TIP: Avoid exposing brightly colored clothing or linens to the sun’s UV radiation to prevent the fading of the hues. Instead, look for a shaded spot where your clothes will still benefit from exposure to the outdoors.
