Why is it that clothes have no smell when taken out of the dryer?

One......

First, posting in all capital letters is considered to be shouting, and is very rude.

Secondly, it would be nice if you could respect the choices of other people.

Third, and last: some people have fragrance/chemical allergies. I do not, ever mean that you have to give up using scented softener, just that for some people, this is a matter of medical importance.

Just finished up this week's set of linens washed in Gai

A product known for being highly fragrant, and am here to tell you what was a powerful smell out of the washer has now almost gone after line drying and ironing.

Sauvitel is AWFULLY strong scented-If you use it and run clothes treated with Sauvitel thru your dryer-the exhaust smells like a perfume factory.Yes,use it if you like.The scent is a little too powerful for me.

And since they 3X'd the Sauvitel it's even stronger. We used to occasionally use the "Baby Scent" 1x version which was fine. But then when they 3X'd it the whole neighborhood would smell like it while the clothes washed in it were drying in the dryer. In fact one night we woke up in the middle of the night because our sheets that had been rinsed in Sauvitel smelled so bad our noses were burning! Nothing like a 2 am bedding change! And we reduced the amount because it was 3x.

Even today when we are in the yard we can tell if someone in the area has used Sauvitel. It really reeks.

How often do we use fabric softener? We have two bottles of Downy on the laundry room shelf that have separated into a gloppy mess. I'm thinking about shaking them up and leaving them in our local coin op. Maybe someone there would like them.

Softener:

I am guilty of using it on my clothes and sheets. Annoyingly, I wash my darker stuff at 30º (just under 100º - a temperature that feels cool/warm but refreshing at your local pool), and can TELL that the softener has been there, since the water on the glass gets spotted as the cycle starts, and using loads of detergent can't won't even produce suds... It might be time to wash them at a higher temp, or with Pre-Wash at a higher temperature, lol. 

 

My other stuff does it, but not to such a large degree. I may cut back on my usage to save them a tad...

detergent/softener scents and its use or lack there of, is the same as peoples personal hygiene, theres the world that never heard of it, and then theres the ones that soak themselves in it.....

they both go to extremes in either case.....and then theres the rest of us in the middle....no matter what extreme, our eyes water!

only on this planet!.......lol
