You open your washing machine, ready to enjoy the freshness of clean laundry… and yet, nothing. Or worse, a musty smell or an overly intense laundry scent. Why do some clothes come out without that pleasant fragrance that we expect after a wash? The answer lies in several factors: detergent residue, poorly maintained machine or inappropriate washing habits. Fortunately, there are simple and natural solutions to give your laundry a long-lasting fragrance.
The reasons behind odorless or smelly laundry
There are several errors that can cause this common problem:
- Too much detergent and fabric softener : Contrary to what you might think, too much product does not improve the scent of your laundry. On the contrary, it promotes the accumulation of residue in the fibers, which alters cleaning and can cause unpleasant odors .
- Insufficient rinsing : If your machine doesn’t rinse well, leftover detergent and fabric softener build up, preventing your laundry from smelling truly fresh .
- Low temperature washing : Bacteria and mold grow easily in a warm, moist environment . Without an occasional hot wash, musty odors can develop.
- A dirty washing machine : Soap residue, limescale and mold can build up and contaminate your laundry with every wash.
Fortunately, there are natural remedies that neutralize bad odors while bringing a touch of natural freshness to your laundry.
