Here are some suggestions for maintaining and properly caring for your laundry. Lavender essential oil, known for its calming effect, is used on sheets and towels to impart a pleasant scent, with therapeutic grade and 100% pure organic oils being recommended. Baking soda brightens clothes and keeps them fresh when added directly to the washing machine. White distilled vinegar can be added to the fabric softener or bleach compartment, softens clothes, and adds fragrance when used alongside essential oils.
Dryer sheets are effective for softening clothes, removing wrinkles, and reducing static cling, though noted as unnecessary for towels due to their lack of static. Detergent, stored with other laundry-related items, is essential for washing clothes. Fabric softener sheets are discouraged from being used with towels because they tend to leave a water-repelling residue.
Overall, Tristin encourages using natural and minimalistic products to maintain clothes effectively and efficiently while avoiding unnecessary additives and toxins. Tristin also shares tips for storing laundry, such as using a basket for detergent and having a designated space for hangers and other laundry essentials to streamline the process. Employing appropriate hangers and bins tailored to different clothing types minimizes damage and preserves organization.
She also advocates for intentional consumer habits, like declining unnecessary gifts, to foster an organized home focused on experiences and essential items.
