Your wardrobe will be home to many different smells and odours. And there’s nothing worse than an odour making you dread going into your wardrobe. Below, we explore how you can avoid this and make your wardrobe smell amazing.
Regular cleaning
You should consistently clean your wardrobe interiors to remove dust and stains. Even if your clothes are clean and fragrant, your wardrobe will accumulate dust and mess over time. You can clean it by regular vacuuming the space, while also using a duster to remove any unwanted debris.
Scented dryer sheets
If your laundry smells fresh, then there’s a good chance your wardrobe will smell fresh too. By using scented dryer sheets, you can ensure that there’s a pleasant but gentle fragrance surrounding your laundry each time you open your wardrobe. You can also try different fabric softeners or conditioners to find the scent you prefer.
Air fresheners
You can also try hanging air fresheners inside your wardrobe to remove odours and create a light aroma inside the wardrobe. However, you will need to ensure that you take the time to find the right air freshener for you. It’s a competitive market with plenty of different sizes and smells available. As such, it’s worth trying a few different options first to gauge what smell would work well in your wardrobe.
Talcum powder
Shoes are one of the biggest culprits for odours – and they can ruin your wardrobe if you leave them in there without remedying the smell. One option is the use of talcum powder. By sprinkling talcum powder on the inside of your shoe, you can remove unwelcome odours and leave them fresh for whenever you next need them.
DIY ideas
There are DIY ideas that can help you make your wardrobe smell amazing too. For instance, if you like earthy smells then you can create DIY sachets to be hanged or stored in your wardrobe with citrus, sandalwood or cedar scents. Alternatively, if there are offending shoes that you can’t quite remove an odour from, you could try making an enclosed section in your wardrobe to separate them from the rest of your laundry.
When you open your wardrobe, you want to be greeted by the smell of fresh linen and laundry. And by following the advice above, you should be all set to eliminate odours and enjoy a fresh fragrance every time you take a look inside your wardrobe.
Just starting my first big spring clean, so I appreciate the tips.
I love dryer sheets but I want to be more eco-friendly so definitely will try and make my own DIY scent bags. Leaning towards some citrus smells so maybe some dried orange peel?
Thanks ! Never thought of talcum powder in shoes ! Will give it a go
Great ideas. The role in fragrance in our wellbeing should not be underestimated.
