Why You Should (and Shouldn’t) Be Hanging Your Clothes Outside

The Fresh Scent of Outdoors

There’s something undeniably pleasant about the smell of freshly dried clothes that have been hanging outside. The scent of fresh air and sunlight clinging to your laundry can leave your clothes smelling clean and natural, even without the use of fabric softeners. Sunlight helps to naturally bleach and brighten fabrics, giving them a fresh, crisp scent. Many people find this natural scent more appealing than the artificial fragrances added by fabric softeners and dryer sheets. It’s a simple pleasure that brings an added touch of freshness to your clothes.
