Organic Household Tip


Spring Cleaning!

As we pull all those warm-weather-only items out of closets and storage spaces, we’re struck by the smell that often lingers on them. Clothes, linens, and drapery are all items that seem to cling to that musty “I’ve been in storage” scent that no-one likes. Instead of wasting water washing them over and over, try adding ½ cup to 1 cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle. Make sure to add the vinegar directly to the water and soap before adding any cloth. The vinegar scent should dissipate, but if not use lightly scented liquid softener or dryer sheets to finish.
