NT asked:


Most of the time I use scented fabric softeners when I dry my clothes, but why do my clothes have this smell after being in my closet for a while?

Is there anything I can buy that will eliminate the smell?? I don’t want to use and do not believe in Febreeze or air fresheners. I need something that will keep my clothes freshly scented and clean. Thanks!
I know it could be from always having the closet door shut, but I can’t have it open.

    Empty your closet and check for Mold.

    My friend gave me some little ornaments for my bathroom that smelt quite sweet. One day I noticed too my clothes had a bit of a smell, so after letting everything out the closet (ha) for a day, I put the ornaments on ribbon and tied them on the rails and placed them on shevles.

    Now my clothes smell sweet and fresh! yay!

    You could use a sachet to cover up the odor in your closet, or take the clothes you are going to wear out of the closet the night before and let them air out.
