There is no feeling of greater cleanliness than putting on a piece of clothing that smells like freshly washed but this aroma is difficult to maintain for a long time, especially if you have your clothes closed in the closet.

Tips for your clothes always smell good

In general, to perfume the clothes, the essences that work best are those of flowers because they give it a fresh, sweet and clean touch. For this reason, another of the recipes that we give you to be able to prepare perfume of
homemade clothes is one in which we will have the pleasant aroma of jasmine and, for this, we will need these ingredients:

2 cups distilled water
gauze
2 cups fresh jasmine

We will start by placing the gauze in the bottom of a deep bowl or bowl, try to make the gauze a large piece because we want it to protrude from the edges of the bowl. Once ready, we will put the jasmine on top, and then we will
pour the distilled water covering the flowers completely.

Now we will have to let this mixture sit overnight and, the next day, you will only have to remove the gauze leaving the flowers inside the container. Drain the gauze to release all the liquid it has and then pour this liquid into a saucepan over low heat. After 5 or 7 minutes, turn off the heat, let it cool, and voila! You already have your homemade, organic and jasmine scent perfume.

Now that you know three homemade clothes perfumes that you can easily do at home, here are some tips that will help you make your clothes always smell good.

Clothes must be perfumed when washed and dried: these clothes perfumes should be used when you are collecting dry clothes from the clothesline or washing machine, that is, just before storing them in the closet.

Use closet air fresheners: a recommendation for your clothes to smell good for longer is to put air fresheners in the closet and, thus, you will get all your clothes have a good smell.

The essential oils that you use for these homemade perfumes will have to be colorless: if you do not want your clothes to get stained, it is important that you opt for essences that do not have color because, otherwise, it is easy for them to leave you some stain or mark.

Baby clothes: if you want to perfume your baby's clothes you will have to opt for very soft essences or use small amounts of it because, thus, you will avoid allergic reactions or problems on your skin.

Wash your clothes frequently: even if you don't think it smells bad, the truth is that at most a garment you have to wear it twice and then wash it. More than 3 uses, the clothes will smell like a body and, therefore, will give off a bad smell. In summer, it is recommended that clothing be washed every time it is used to avoid the smell of sweat.
