DAY 5: Freshen Your Laundry
Collect up all those dish rags and towels that never quite smell right and put them through a wash with a few drops of lemon essential oil! If you don’t have the essential oil, use a few pieces of lemon peel. This also works great if you accidentally left a load sitting damp for too long and it gets that musty smell. You don’t need toxic commercial products to get things clean and fresh. If you want to go the extra mile for lemony-fresh laundry, make sachets for your drawers with some dried lemon peel (leave out in the sun or use a dehydrator). Try adding spices such as cinnamon sticks, clove buds or cardamom pods.
