If you don’t want to use dryer sheets, wrap a dry bar of scented soap in tissue paper and place it in your clothes drawer or suitcase.
You can also place these in your suitcase if you’re packing your clothes.
You could also place cedar shavings or mothballs in the sachet to protect your clothes from moth damage. Purchase scented mothballs to cover their unpleasant odor.
Lavender Lemon Geranium Rose Fir or cypress
Try your favorite essential oil, such as lavender, orange, rosemary, or geranium.
You could also place whole or freshly ground coffee beans in the closet to absorb odor. If you’d like to use coffee grounds in your dresser drawers, fill a linen sachet with the dried grounds. Then, place the sachet in your dresser.
You could also place a bowl full of cedar chips in your closet.
Replace the box of baking soda every 1 to 2 months.
The vinegar and baking soda kill different strains of mold, which is why it’s important to use both.
If you forget your clothes in the machine and they sat for more than 4 hours, wash them again with vinegar and hot water to remove the smell.
Although it may take longer for the clothes to dry, you can hang dry the clothes in winter or on cloudy days.
If you’re packing clothes in a suitcase or have clothes stored in dresser drawers, place a few silica packets in with the clothes to absorb moisture. You can buy silica packets online.
