When you walk past people and think ooo their clothes smell lovely… I want that! How do I do this please? I’m wanting fresh lovely smelling clothes. They’re clean and fresh now but I feel they don’t have a lasting softener smell to them.

Peg them out.

But hard in the rain.

I avoid most overly scented things because of the chemicals but I am a sucker for lovely smelling laundry. The M&S Green tea and jasmine non bio is amazing. I hang washing over the stairs to dry and love the smell of the house when I come in. Makes me truly happy!

Nope, clothes should just be clean and smell of nothing

Nobody wants to smell the stink of your unstoppables and lenor, it’s actually just as bad as BO.

interestingly, every cleaning product has a smell, whether is for clothing, hair, body, household. I’m yet to find one that smell of nothing.

And if ‘nobody’ wanted to smell unstoppables, they would cease to exist. The fact that they’re sold in countless different scents, means that ‘somebody’ does want to actually smell them.

There's nothing nicer than going to bed in bedding that has been washed that day and hung out to dry and then put back on the bed.

Ooh yes , I do this !!
