So, you fell in love Laundry Sauce—not just because it cleans like a dream, but because it smells like one too. Whether it’s the deep, woodsy allure of Australian Sandalwood or the rich spice of French Saffron, your laundry doesn’t just smell fresh—it smells expensive. And you want to keep it that way.
We don’t blame you.
But here’s the thing: Laundry fragrances, no matter how premium, don’t just stick around forever. Heat, friction, and even how you wash your clothes can strip away those fragrance notes way too soon.
The good news? You don’t need a chemistry degree or an arsenal of extra products to extend the life of your laundry scent. With a few simple tweaks, you can keep your clothes smelling incredible for days.
1. Wash Your Clothes in Cold Water
If you want to keep your laundry fragrance alive, start by turning down the heat—literally. Hot water is a one-way ticket to scent evaporation. Fragrance molecules are delicate, and heat makes them break down faster.
Cold water, on the other hand, cleans your clothes without sacrificing scent. It helps preserve the fragrance, keeps your fabrics in better shape, and as a bonus, it saves energy—meaning you can cut down on your electricity bill while keeping your laundry smelling like it just came out of a high-end fragrance boutique.
2. Don’t Cram Your Washing Machine
Overloading your washing machine might seem like a time-saver, but it’s actually doing your laundry (and your scent game) a major disservice.
When your washing machine is packed to the brim, there’s not enough space for water and detergent to move freely. Instead of fully saturating your clothes, the detergent gets trapped in a tangled mess of fabric, leaving you with unevenly washed garments—and an uneven scent distribution.
For maximum fragrance, leave some breathing room. Think of your washing machine like a cocktail shaker—too much in the mix, and things don’t blend properly. When you give your detergent the space to do its thing, every fiber of your clothing gets infused with that signature Laundry Sauce scent.
3. Air Dry Your Laundry
If your goal is long-lasting fragrance, the dryer isn’t always your friend. The high heat of a tumble dryer speeds up the breakdown of fragrance molecules, meaning your clothes smell great when they come out, but lose their scent faster once you start wearing them.
Air drying is the gentler, scent-preserving alternative. Not only does it keep your laundry smelling fresher for longer, but it also helps maintain fabric integrity—because nothing kills a good scent (or a good outfit) faster than heat damage.
To maximize scent retention, dry your clothes indoors on a drying rack or outside in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause some fragrances to fade, so if you’re hanging your laundry outside, opt for a breezy, shaded spot.
3 Bonus Tips for Better-Smelling Laundry
Want to extend your laundry fragrance even further? With a few extra touches, you can lock in your Laundry Sauce scent, ensuring your clothes smell just as incredible days after wash day.
1. Add Scent Booster to Your Wash Cycle
Think of laundry scent boosters like a fragrance supplement for your wardrobe. These little beads dissolve in water and infuse your clothes with an extra layer of the laundry fragrance you fell in love with.
And with Laundry Sauce Scent Boosters, you’re not just getting the generic “fresh linen” scent—you're elevating your wardrobe with fragrances typically reserved for fine fragrance. Designed with continuous-release technology, our scent boosters deliver a body heat-activated fragrance that releases a bold scent all day to keep your clothes smelling great until your next laundry day.
2. Toss In a Scented Dryer Sheet
If you must use the dryer, don’t let your clothes go in alone. Scented dryer sheets reinforce your detergent’s fragrance, layering on an extra dimension of scent.
Laundry Sauce dryer sheets aren’t your run-of-the-mill “spring meadow” situation—they’re crafted in collaboration with world-renowned perfumers, so your clothes come out smelling like they belong in a luxury wardrobe.
3. Revive Your Wardrobe with Fabric Refresher Spray
A fabric refresher spray is your secret weapon between washes. It revives your outfits, neutralizes odors, and even helps with wrinkles and static cling—because nothing ruins a great-smelling outfit like looking (or feeling) like a crumpled-up napkin. Give your clothes a light mist to keep the scent going strong until laundry day rolls around again.
Don’t Settle for Forgettable Fragrances
Your laundry fragrance isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s a reflection of you. If you’re making it last, it should be something you actually savor. Traditional detergents give you a forgettable “fresh” scent that fades fast, but Laundry Sauce is crafted with bold, sophisticated fragrances that you’ll want to experience day after day. With these tips, your scent will last longer—and more importantly, it’ll be something you’re proud to wear.
