Jenleigh, I have been enjoying the Purex Crystals (I think there are other brands of these crystals but the Purex is probably cheaper).
I just toss some in with my washload (add the crystals when you begin your washing...easy!). I actually use about 1/3 of the recommended amount. My clothes and sheets and towels smell soooo good! I just love it. I enjoy a good smell!
I don't add these when I'm doing dh's work clothes (like his jeans and t shirts for cutting the grass, doing yard work, etc) or his daily-go-to-work clothes....dress shirts, etc, as he doesn't want to smell too girly!
But I just washed the curtains in my living room on Monday. They made the whole room smell soooooo good! Even two days later it still smells so fresh and good.
