Scented laundry...

17 years ago

I love the fresh smell of laundry. I know I just ordered Charlie's soap and to tell you the truth I am very confused. Should I just use it for towels? Also Like I said I love the smell of fresh washed clothing, towels, blankets etc. I cannot put them out on the line anymore due to my asthma condition.

Also, Charlie's soap does not have much of a scent to it at all. Is that the way it is suppose to be?

Everytime I go into my friends house ands she is doing laundry..it smells so good. Like clean.

Once again I am using my Whirlpool duet washer and my new electric cabrio dryer. And this new dryer dries so quick and no static cling! My gas dryer was just much too hot.

Thanks so much again!

1. I wash ALL my laundry with Charlie's Soap. Not sure how you came up with the idea it was for towels only? I've included the link to their web site below so you can read more about the product.

2. Do you love the smell of fresh laundry or are you confusing that "smell" with the often over-powering chemical and natural fragrances added to most laundry products? As an asthma sufferer, you should already know scents from perfume and cologne, fabric softener, air fresheners (and many other products) can make asthma worse.

Personally, having little to no scent is one of the reasons I use Charlie's Soap. I can't even stand to walk outside while the neighbor's dryer is going because it's blasting so many toxins from their highly-scented laundry products into the air. As an asthma sufferer, you should be careful purchasing products with scent in them because you have no idea what is in them. I consider fragrance chemicals dangerous toxins in the environment and I'm easily affected by them. Try doing a search on - toxins in laundry products...

3. I have a drying room in the basement - complete with 6 lines, a couple drying racks, and a 6-foot clothes rod where I hang things I dry on hangers, drying aided by a ceiling fan - so I can still save money by line-drying clothes INdoors, or outdoors - since I have a courtyard on the side yard designed around the umbrella clothes line.

The indoor drying room has a lot of benefits, including being handy 24/7 during any kind of weather. No pollen left on clothes, no sun fading clothes, the wind doesn't whip things around and destroy fabrics, no bees, wasps, or other "bugs" found hiding in a sleeve, no bird poo... I can hang clothes up to dry in the evening and take them down the next morning....

Hi Grainlady, just curious, about how long does it take to get your clothes dry by doing it this way? I've seen it mentioned in previous posts and have always wondered and meant to ask. Thanks!

Laundry takes longer to dry in the winter because the ambient temperature is cooler, and dries in 8-10 hours (the basement is not heated). Laundry dries faster in the summer because of the dehumidifier we run in the basement - 6-8 hours. The ceiling fan aids the evaporation of moisture from the clothes.
