This detergent can be found at almost every convenience store (or follow the link for Amazon) and utilizes both baking soda and oxiclean to brighten laundry and fight stains. It is the best laundry cleaner on the market!
OR… If you’re looking for a laundry detergent with a floral and feminine smell, this Amazon detergent- TYLER Glamorous Wash, Floral is amazing!! It can be used alone or added to another detergent! I just recently discovered it on Amazon and am in love!
Step 2: Scent Booster
This is the most important step in making your clothes smell amazing and last all day long!!
Downy Infusions Laundry Fabric Softener in the scent lavender and vanilla is the absolute best smelling fabric softener. It will make your clothes feel softer and smell so good!!

AND
As an added bonus (because I can’t get enough of it) I add a sprinkle of Downy Infusions In-Wash Laundry Scent Booster Beads in the Lavender & Vanilla Bean scent to my load of laundry as well.
No products found.
I absolutely swear by this lavender and vanilla scent. The lavender and vanilla smells so good and will actually last on your clothes. Just the fabric softener will be enough if you don’t want to add the beads, but I just love this smell and can’t get enough of it so I add it in there too!!
Step 3: Dryer sheets
Downy WinkleaGurd Dryer Sheets are the best! These dryer sheets have a fresh smell AND are the best at fighting wrinkles. I’m a nurse so my scrubs are constantly going through the wash, and these dryer sheets are the only ones that have stopped my mesh scrubs from wrinkling!

1.
Throw the detergent cap in the washer after measuring out the detergent. This tip is so handy keeping your laundry cap clean. After using it to measure out your detergent, it can get all gross with old built up detergent. By simply throwing it in with your load of laundry it will be cleaned along with your clothes!
2.
Add a drop of dish soap in with your load of laundry. This is a tiktok trick I learned that is handy in getting out stains and other scuff marks in your clothes that are difficult.
3.
Keep a bottle of Oxi Clean Maxforce: laundry stain remover on hand. I spray any of my clothes that have food or dirt stains before throwing them in the wash. Pretreating stains before you throw them in the wash helps to clean clothes more effectively.
4.
Turn clothes (especially jeans) inside out before throwing them in the dryer. I have a bad habit of machine drying all my clothes, which is known to be hard of clothes and cause shrinkage. Turning clothes inside out helps to preserve them for longer!
5.
Wash your bedsheets once a week! Because who doesn’t love crawling into a clean smelling bed at night? I make a habit of washing mine every Sunday. PSA: washing your pillow cases often is also GREAT for your skin by getting rid of built up oils, dirt, or makeup left behind on your pillow case.
