No More Stinky Laundry

I was reading this blog about using essential oils and I loved the post about using lemon in your laundry. I think that at least 2-3 times a month I run into the problem where I've started a load of laundry, and then left it in the washer for a day...or more, don't judge me! That's definitely leads to stinky clothes. The worst is when it's your towels and drying off after a shower just makes you stink again!

What I do is run a rinse cycle and mix 8 or so drops of lemon with some water and pour it over the clothes. I add some vinegar too because I always read about adding vinegar to your final rinse to make clothes softer or whatever, but I can never seem to make it into the washer when the final rinse is starting. (Who does that?)

I love it because your clothes smell good and you don't have to waste extra detergent or redo the whole load. You don't have to forget about your clothes to make them smell good either, you can just lemon in your rinse cycle. ;)
