How to make your clothes in the closet smell pleasant: the secret of five-star hotels

When taking seasonal clothes out of the closet, you may feel that even well-washed clothes have begun to smell musty. Often, fabric softeners don't help either, as their scent quickly wears off.

To make your clothes and underwear smell good even after prolonged storage in the closet, you just need to use a few life hacks. OBOZREVATEL has learned the secrets of five-star hotels that will ensure the scent of freshness for a long time.

Dried lavender

Putting a bunch of dried lavender in your closet will give your clothes a delicate and tangible scent for a long time. In addition to being an ideal natural flavoring, lavender is also an effective means of protecting your clothes from moths.

Soap

The good old-fashioned way - our grandmothers used to put a bar of open soap in their cabinets. There are several ways to do this:

• grate the soap, divide it into several portions, and put it in different corners of the cabinet;
• put one or more bars on the shelves.

It's worth noting that you should moisten the soap with water regularly, about once a week because it dries quickly. A few drops of water from a spray bottle will instantly enhance the scent.

Essential oil

Dampen a napkin with a few drops of your favorite essential oil, place it on a saucer, and put the saucer on a shelf in your closet. This is a very effective life hack, and your clothes will have a noticeable scent for a long time.

Special sachets

In household chemicals departments and in specialized stores, you can buy sachets that are placed next to your clothes in your closet. The choice of scents is very diverse - from herbal to floral and citrus.

A bag of herbs

If you like the scent of wildflowers and herbs, you can make a wonderful fragrance. Put dried flowers in a small bag and leave it on a shelf. The bag can be made of cloth or gauze.

The following plants are suitable:

• lemon balm
• mint
• chamomile
• lavender
• cloves
• rosemary
• thyme

Do the flavoring yourself 

Method 1. You can make your own flavor using alcohol and essential oils. The recipe is very simple. You will need a small bottle with 20 ml of alcohol and 10-15 drops of essential oil. If you like the smell of cloves, you can add a few dried flowers.

Method 2: Scented wipes are often used. Take a few dry napkins and drip essential oil on them. Roll the napkin into a cone shape and put it in a glass. It is also advised to pour a little perfumed water into the bottom of the glass.
