How to maintain the fragrance of clothes before wearing them.1. Use fragrance when washing.
Add fabric softener or fragrance during the wash process. Choose a product with a formula that can maintain the scent longer.
2. Make sure the clothes are completely dry.
Before storing, make sure the clothes are completely dry. Clothes that are still damp can cause a musty odor and reduce the freshness of the fragrance.
3. Store in a clean and dry cupboard.
Clean the closet regularly to prevent mold or musty odor. Use camphor or moisture absorbers to keep the air in the closet fresh.
4. Use a freshener or wardrobe freshener.
Place a fabric freshener in your closet, such as a scented sachet, cinnamon stick, or a slice of fresh-scented body wash. You can also use cotton balls dipped in essential oils.
5. Hang up clothes that are rarely worn.
Clothes that are folded for too long can absorb odors from the surrounding environment. Hang clothes that are rarely worn to keep them fresh and not smell musty.
6. Avoid storing dirty clothes in the closet.
Store only truly clean clothes. Clothes that have been worn, even briefly, should be aired before being put back in the closet.
