the smell of laundry...

[StephaBon]

i really haven't heard of an orange scent. Good luck on your search. I understand a craving for certain smells. lol

I love to use scented laundry soap/ fabric softener.  However my husband son both break out horribly when I sue either one.  So I get to use boring free and clear soap, and cannot use fabric softener at all not even free and clear or dryer sheets.  I have tried and it resulted in rashes and alot whining (from my husband).

I'm moving off a bit, as I use plain ol' castile soap, white vinegar, and lemon juice for my laundry...but what I do like are the Arm and Hammer Naturals dryer sheets (believe it's the lavender one I'm trying now) for packing clothes and blankets.  also, throw one into each shoe to keep the stink at bay!!  trust me, it works, and it's nice not to be grossed out by your own sneakers

Nothing smells as good as the fresh scent of sun dried laundry. 

I've been doing laundry for a long long time, like 40 years (haven't we all?)  Just recently moved from Colorado (humidity less than 5% on a wet day) to Ohio (humidity 70% plus most of the time) and suffered greatly till I fiqured out that only completely dry laundry should be allowed in the dresser. In Colorado things dried out instantly.  There is just no smell grosser than mildew. Phewwie!

Tide Pure Essentials with Citrus Extracts smells really good. It's a little expensive. They have it on sale sometimes at Target, or coupons in the paper. I like more of a Fresh scent and the sweet baby powder scent of Snuggle or Downey for my Fabric Softener. My Mom always used Downey and it's just one of those scents that takes me back home.

wow, i've never even though about homemade detergents!
that's pretty neat. it's probably cheaper than store-bought, right?

thanks for all the answers so far. i'm trying to use up the last
of my fiance's plain old tide so i can try out something new.
every time i'm at the store, i take a stroll through the detergent
aisle, smelling them as i go. i should make a poll!

I have also used vinegar (put it in in the rinse cycle) especially with whtes if you have hard water.  Really gets the detergent out and helps whiten the clothes.

Here is a question - does any one know where you can buy White King D laundry soda?  My mom used it all the time and it works great for cleaning windows.
