Have
you ever gotten a towel or set of sheets out of your linen closet and they
smelled…less than fresh? For some
reason, my linen closet tends to have a musty smell in it. My central unit vent return is right below
the cabinet, so I don’t know if that has something to do with it or not. Anyways, I was noticing that the linen closet
made my clean linens smell somewhat musty.
Almost like they had been sitting in the washer too long, but I knew
that they hadn’t. I cleaned the closet,
but they still had the weird odor.
I
did some research on the internet and ran across tip that has made all the difference. It was so simple that I thought that it
surely wouldn’t work. But it did. The tip?
Put a dryer sheet in the cabinet with your linens. Crazy, right?!?
Our
linen cabinet has four shelves and I just put a dryer sheet on two of
them. It has made a dramatic
difference. The towels now smell
dryer-fresh and our sheets have a pleasant scent that lasts for the entire
week.
I
also took this tip and used it for our closet and office closet. In our office closet, I house all of our
jackets. In the winter, we tend to use
the same jackets daily but I keep our dress jackets in the office closet. Then, in the spring, I move all the jackets to the closet. I put a small nail on the inner wall, the
wall that you have to crane your neck to see, and I poked a dryer sheet right
on that nail. The jackets smell nice and
fresh and I just routinely change the dryer sheet out anytime I think of it,
maybe a couple times a year. I did the
same thing in our main closet, too! It’s
a pleasant scent that wafts out into the room whenever you open the closet
door…and it makes me happy. And I like
being happy. J
