All week we’ve been featuring tips and finds about making laundry easier and more fun. In this episode Maja talks about her sweet obsession with doing laundry, and covers the basics for setting up a good routine. She also shares a few ideas for making your laundry room work better for you.

We want to encourage alot of discussion and sharing of your dilemma’s in this area, let’s all help each other in making the laundry room one of the Happy Places in our homes (it’s possible, we’re almost sure of it!).

For today’s tip I am going to share my secret to the best smelling laundry! Seriously, I have had people comment on how my clothes smell for years and it has NOTHING to do with Gain detergent (sorry Gain lovers, but it is much too overwhelming for me - if I can tell what laundry detergent you use while standing behind you in line… it is way too powerful! It shouldn’t override your shampoo scent and perfume. I did buy it once - never again.) If Gain tickles your fancy that’s great, but if you want to walk on the wild side with me read on…

I am a huge fan of the basics, but put these working together and you’ve got the best smelling combo for show stopping clothing. Here’s the list: Ultra Tide, Ultra Downey, Javex Bleach (only on whites and towels - it gets that gross mildewy smell out of your washcloths every time), and Bounce Outdoor Fresh Scent Dryer Sheets. Using this combo together will make your clothes clean, and smell wonderfully fresh! You will seriously love it.

Tomorrow’s tip will be on stain removers. Happy washing!
