While having an organised closet is a really commendable thing (bravo to you!), ensuring that your clothes stay pristine should be another important focus. In humid climates, or whenever there is a seasonal change, it’s easy for your clothes to be targeted by mould, dust, and other pesky problems that can make them start smelling less than their freshest best. Here are some tips we’ve picked up on how to keep your closet and clothes in tip-top shape. What’s more, each tip recommends an all-natural solution, rather than picking up store-bought air fresheners!



Coffee Grounds

Believe it or not, coffee grounds help to eliminate odours effectively. Place a can in a corner of your closet and be pleasantly surprised at how quickly the offending smells disappear!





Bar Soap

Wrap a bar of your favourite scented soap in a thin muslin cloth and place it on your closet shelf. Either set a stack of clothes on top of it, or, depending on the size of your closet, just close the doors for a few hours. When you open up again, you will notice that the fragrance has spread through your closet. Lovely!



Herb Pouches

Fill small cloth bags with your favourite herb – lavender or lemongrass have the most distinctive, pleasant scents. Place the herb bags in strategic corners of your closet and let them work their magic. The natural scents will fill up your closet and linger on your clothes. Delicious!



Sandalwood

We live in a country of spices, so we should put them to good use! Stash a few pieces of sandalwood in your closet for an exotic yet subtle scent that will permeate through your closet and your clothes!



Linen Spray

Create your own linen spray with this easy idea. Put a few drops of your favourite essential oil in a spray bottle and fill the bottle with water. Lightly spray your clothes with the concoction, whenever you feel they need a freshness pick-me-up. Done and dusted!
