Scented sheets that smell good for ages: tips to make the scent endure, even during use

Going to sleep in a bed that smells good as well as being clean and well-made is a luxury that helps us rest more peacefully. But how often does the nice smell of freshly washed sheets fade after only a few days? How often has the nice smell disappeared before we even put the sheet on the bed? Or perhaps residual moisture has left a bad smell on the linen?

There are several methods to ensure that our sheets smell nicer for longer, starting from the use of specific products during washing process and the steps that follow. Let's see together what these tips are!

1. Washing with citric acid

An excellent way to perfume our sheets for a long time during the wash cycle, is to replace the fabric softener with citric acid. In fact, you can easily make a DIY fabric softener by dissolving 150 grams of citric acid in a liter of water. You can perfume the mix thus obtained with a few drops of an essential oil of your choice and add 100 ml to the softener compartment during the wash cycle. Your sheets will smell great!

2. Washing with bicarbonate (baking soda)

Another method to perfume the sheets during the wash is to use baking soda. You can mix it with liquid Marseille soap or flakes along with a few drops of essential oil and use it as a normal detergent. In this case too, the perfume will last for a long time!

3. Drying

To dry your sheets optimally, hang them out as soon as the washing cycle is finished. Before folding them and placing them in the wardrobe, make sure they are perfectly dry, to prevent unpleasant odors from forming. Also remember that drying in the sun will allow you to save time, and it will also to preserve the scent of the perfume for longer.

4. Scented sachets for wardrobes

Another foolproof method to perfume sheets for a long time, is to put them in the closets together with the scented sachets. You can make them simply yourself using dried flowers or cotton wool balls soaked in an essential oil of your choice. Your sheets will smell great!

5. Perfume spray for sheets

Making a scented spray for sheets is very easy and you can use it whenever you want to make your sheets smell good again - even while in use. You will need half a liter of water and a spoonful of scented organic soap (alternatively, you can use liquid Marseille soap enriched with an essential oil of your choice). Put the mixture into a spray bottle, mixing it well, and use it to spray the sheets. Air the room out well before making the bed.

These are the simplest ways to sleep as if you were in a flowery meadow; which do you prefer?
