Here are some laundry tips to keep clothes smelling fresh:
Sort the clothes that goes into your laundry pile.
Do not put damp clothes in your hamper. It is best to put them in a hanger or if possible wash them right away to avoid breeding of bacteria that causes bad odor. Gym clothes soaked with sweat have stronger smell that will make the entire pile contaminated. If you have clothes with stain, treat them immediately.
Clean the washing machine after every use.
There are detergent residue and fluff from fabrics that may build up if you do not regularly clean the washing machine. Clean the washing machine by adding vinegar or a small amount of bleach to a tub filled of water and let it run for 15 minutes. Drain the water and then rinse.
Use an appropriate laundry detergent for your machine.
You may have a favorite laundry detergent but is it really doing its job of making you clothes clean and fresh? You also don't need to always follow the recommended detergent measurement on the packaging. Washing machines have different capacity. The larger the capacity, the more detergent you need.
