\u201cThere are a few reasons that clothes don\u2019t remain smelling clean; the quantity and quality of detergent you\u2019re using, the humidity inside homes and even the washing machine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

One woman claims that this trick can even last up to 15 to 20 years.<\/p>\n Rita said: \u201cWrapping thin fabric around a scented soap and leaving it inside a drawer or your wardrobe, releases a wonderful aroma.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t need to be afraid that it might stain your clothes; thanks to the thin fabric, only the fragrance will disperse. After a while, you can take it out and replace it with another one.\u201d<\/p>\n Make sure the soap is a simple-scented flavour and not overwhelming, and make sure the soap is wrapped in fabric or paper rather than plastic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Pouring ground coffee beans into a sachet will help clothes smell better for a long time as coffee can absorb odours.<\/p>\n Rita wrote: \u201cSimply put some coffee grounds in a jar and secure a thin fabric on top of it with elastic. Then cut some holes in the fabric and leave the jar inside your wardrobe.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s it, job done! Your clothes will stay smelling clean for longer. Replace the coffee grounds every month so that everything stays fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n You can even put a small bowl or plate of coffee beans in a room to help deodorise it and have a pleasant aroma of coffee in your home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n White vinegar is a very versatile ingredient when it comes to laundry, as not only can it clean your clothes\u00a0and take out stains, but it can also help keep clothes fresh.\u00a0<\/p>\n Rita explained: \u201cVinegar is another superhero in our homes. Just mix equal parts of vinegar and water and pour it into a spray bottle.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThen spray it onto your garments or wardrobe and drawers and let it dry. Don\u2019t worry about the smell of vinegar! It will go away as it dries.\u201d<\/p>\n Make sure to turn clothes inside out before trying out this method and spraying them to ensure they do not get stained.\u00a0<\/p>\n Like coffee, baking soda can absorb odours or other unpleasant smells, making it a simple yet natural way to keep clothes fresh.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Rita said: \u201cJust put two to three tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda into a container in a safe place in your wardrobe. Over time, the bicarbonate of soda will absorb any unwanted smells, all you have to do is replace it every month or so.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cNext time you are adding bicarbonate of soda to your shopping basket, remember you can use it for your clothes as well!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] There is nothing better than doing a batch of laundry and having clothes smell incredibly fresh, and you can make them smell fragrant for much longer.\u00a0 Rita Patra, a clothes expert from Patra Selections, a London-based clothing store, has shared how you can keep clothes smelling their best for much longer, using a few …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17748,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17747"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How to make clothes smell fresher for longer<\/h2>\n
