To keep your linen closet smelling fresh and clean consider the use of linens sprays, sachets and other fragrance neutralizers or enhancers. Linen closets often harbor a cupboard smell that can linger on the sheets and towels being stored and then travel with the linens into the bedroom and bathroom. Here are several cost-effective ways to keep your sheets and towels as fresh as those you would fi nd in a spa or fine hotel. Linen Spray Linen spray is sold at many linen-themed stores. It comes in a bottle much like a spray perfume and it is available in many scents. To keep your linens smelling fresh, simply mist your linen closet once a week. The smell does wear off eventually, so you may want to reapply right before making up the bed for youself or your guests. With linen spray you can freshen the scent even after the sheets have been on your bed for a while. Just spray after you get up in the morning and when you crawl between the sheets at night the scent will greet you. Dryer Sheets Another cost effective way to freshen up the smell of the closet is to set your dryer sheets (or fabric softener sheets) on the shelves. Place one in between every one of your towels and sheets. You can even buy an extra box and keep it on the top shelf. The sheets already have that scent from being washed in it, this will just keep the smell lasting longer until you finally take the sheets or towels out to use them. Store Extra Candles If there is a candle scent you really love, buy extras and store them in your linen closet. The scent will linger on the sheets and towels in the cabinet. Whatever method you decide to go with, stick with the same scent throughout the linen closet. Too many scents may combine into something confusing or unpleasant. Each of these options will only run you about $10, money well spent when you sink into great smelling sheets or wrap yourself in fresh towels at the end of the day.
