Softener, you say? It's not a necessary step, but think of it this way: fabric softener is to your clothes what conditioner is to your hair. It makes fabrics feel softer, reduces wrinkles and static, plus leaves behind a nice, long-lasting scent.

Like detergent, there are tons of options on the market, including both sheets and liquids. At the Good Housekeeping Institute , we test dozens of new laundry products each year from smart washing machines and dryers to laundry detergents and dryer balls . In fact, l aundry products are some of our most frequently tested products in the Cleaning Lab. We have years of collective experience testing laundry products, including several fabric softeners, and we know exactly what makes a fabric softener a standout.

An old standby for a good reason, this fabric conditioner earned the Good Housekeeping Seal and always imparts the most softness in our tests . It has a strong and long-lasting floral smell that users tend to love, though it may actually be too potent for anyone who is sensitive to fragrances. The brand claims the softener protects clothes from stretching, fading and fuzz, ultimately adding to the longevity of your favorite items.

It's a budget-friendly pick — and one that's widely available at just about any grocery store. To add to the convenience, Downy's fabric softener is compatible with most machines, including top- and front-loading washers, as well as high-efficiency appliances.

For those with babies and little kids or anyone sensitive to dyes and fragrances, Downy makes a Free and Gentle version of its beloved fabric softener. It's dye-free and perfume-free and also boasts a Good Housekeeping Seal .

Our Lab tests consistently show that no fabric softener leaves clothes as soft as Downy, and that's true for the Free and Gentle formula as well. And a little goes a long way — all you need is a small capful — so even the (slightly) more expensive fragrance-free formula still offers good value.

Though these single-use products are inherently less eco-friendly than liquid fabric softeners, you can't beat the convenience. For starters, there's no heavy bottle to lug around — great for anyone who heads to the laundromat to do their wash. Simply slip one or two sheets into the dryer while your clothes tumble. (The manufacturer recommends two per load for best results.)

You can use them in both regular and high-efficiency machines, and the results are similar to what you'd expect from a liquid conditioner. The sheets work hard to not only minimize wrinkles and static but also add a fresh, clean scent.

A winner of a 2023 Good Housekeeping Best Cleaning & Organizing Award , these dryer sheets are touted as a more eco-friendly alternative to conventional dryer sheets. The product is a 99% USDA Certified Biobased Product , which means it's recognized as fully derived from biological materials like plants. The non-woven sheet is made from renewable fibers and the softening agents are plant-based.

Both our Lab and consumer testers were impressed by the results, too. We noted ample softening and static control without any waxy residue. “I liked the long-lasting, natural scent," a tester told us. "It leaves clothes smelling very clean and fresh, but without the perfume-y smell that I am so accustomed to with typical dryer sheets.”

We recently tested four different tools made specifically for removing pet hair from laundry and couldn't find any that worked as well as these dryer sheets. After covering a fluffy sweater with a heavy handful of faux pet hair and washing in a regular cycle, we placed the sweater into a dryer with half of one of these mega sheets for a 20-minute cycle. When the cycle was complete, the sweater was nearly free from any pet hair.

And while this hair-removing ability is the product's claim to fame, our tests proved it still does a great job softening fabric at the same time. On the downside, like all dryer sheets, they can only be used once, but you can extend their lifespan by using them to swipe dust from baseboards, furniture and other surfaces.

Those who claim not to like fabric softener usually do so because they don't like the waxy, coated feeling some softeners can leave in their wake. Ensueño leaves no such residue behind. In our tests, this plant-based formula — a recent winner of a 2023 Good Housekeeping Best Cleaning & Organizing Award — softened without leaving items feeling slippery. And one tester praised the product for how well it reduced static.

Those who like a long-lasting smell should take note, too. The liquid fabric softener uses essential oils to deliver and release scent even weeks after washing. Just note: Some reviewers complained that the product is very thick and concentrated, although we didn't find so in our testing — just make sure you're following package instructions to avoid using too much product.

Downy Rinse & Refresh Odor Remover and Fabric Softener

It may not technically be a fabric softener, but this laundry product gets added to the fabric softener dispenser like a traditional conditioner would. The difference: It contains citric acid to rinse away hard water and other build-up, which inherently softens and refreshes stiff, smelly items. It's safe on all fabrics — even those you can't typically use fabric softener on , like athletic wear, towels and flame-resistant clothing.

The manufacturer claims the lavender-scented product has three times the odor-eliminating power of detergent. And the slightly floral, slightly fresh scent leaves behind is praised by users as "amazing."

For those who count wrinkles among their biggest laundry dilemmas, enter this specialized fabric softener from Downy. We have tested this in our Lab with noticeable wrinkle improving benefits, but for the most wrinkle resistance, you need to add the maximum amount. The brand claims this particular product will do even more to soften and relax fabric , which improves the flexibility and resiliency of clothing, leading to fewer wrinkles.

It's safe to use in all types of machines — front- and top-loaders, as well as high-efficiency washers. Don't count on it for much of a scent, though. It's labeled "fresh," but users say they don't notice much — if any — fragrance, which might be a good or a bad thing depending on your preferences.

Though you generally shouldn't use fabric softener on items like towels and workout apparel, this formula is an exception to the rule. That's because it's specially designed to be thinner than other fabric conditioners to prevent buildup and maintain the fabric's absorbency and moisture-wicking properties .

The manufacturer says this conditioner is gentler on skin too. Though it does have a subtle "fresh and clean" scent, it's made with sensitive skin in mind — no heavy fragrances or irritants. Depending on your preferences, the scent may not be long-lasting enough. It does, however, work in all types of washing machines, plus, it claims to have a biodegradable formula, though we haven't tested that claim in our Lab.

What to look for when shopping for fabric softener

linebreak

While most fabric softeners can be used to smooth wrinkles, reduce static and impart fresh scent on any number of laundry items, there are still a few things to consider when choosing the best fabric softener for your home:

✔️ Type : Liquid and sheets are the two main types of fabric softener, and your choice is largely dependent on preference. Liquid fabric softeners, which are typically added to the rinse cycle of the wash, tend to be more potent conditioners than sheets. Sheets provide light softening, as well as static control to help prevent items from clinging together in the dryer or attracting hair or lint.

✔️ Machine compatibility: Just as you would with any laundry detergent you're considering, make sure to read package instructions to ensure the product is safe to use with your appliance. If you have a high-efficiency (HE) washer, make sure any liquid fabric softener is also labeled as such. And never use more than is indicated in usage guidelines, since this can lead to unnecessary buildup on clothes and inside the machine. Remove and clean your machine’s fabric softener dispenser regularly to scrub away any residue that may build up there too.

✔️ Scent: Some fabric softeners have a very potent and long-lasting scent. While some users may like this, those with babies, skin sensitivities or allergies should seek out free and gentle formulas that don't contain harsh fragrances and dyes.

Do you need to use fabric softener?

As far as laundry products go, fabric softener is fairly polarizing — some swear by it, while others never touch the stuff. The choice is really up to you. While fabric softener does serve a purpose, it's not a necessary step in the process.

Think of fabric softener as conditioner for your clothes. It penetrates and coats the fiber to smooth them out and better align them, so fabrics feel softer. It also makes fibers more pliable and less prone to creasing, which helps reduce static and wrinkles. The long-lasting scent it imparts is a nice bonus.

There are, however, some instances when you're better off skipping fabric softener altogether — in the case of towels and athletic wear, for example. Because it coats fibers, it can impact absorbency and wicking properties. It can also impact the flame resistance of certain fabrics, so it’s not recommended for children’s sleepwear or fleece clothing items, either.

Real Simple / Marcus Millan

Fabric softeners can transform your clothes and linens into fluffy softness, reduce static cling, and even eliminate wrinkles. From liquid formulas to dryer sheets and fragrance-free to fresh-as-a-daisy scents, there are plentiful options to upgrade your next laundry day. 

If you don’t have allergies or sensitivities, Laurie Fulford, a laundry expert at Poplin Laundry, recommends scented fabric softeners, as they add fresh-from-the-dryer fragrance to your laundry. “Take the time and smell which one you like best because most fabric softeners have a very strong, lasting scent on your clothes,” she says. “You want to make sure you are happy with what you are washing your clothes in. 

To find the best fabric softeners, we researched popular products while comparing factors like type, ingredients, scent, size, and price. We also consulted Fulford for her expert insight on what to consider when shopping for and using fabric softeners.

Best Overall Liquid Fabric Softener

Gain original fabric softener.

This bottle can do up to 60 loads of laundry and has a light but long-lasting scent.

The larger bottles may make it challenging to dispense a precise amount of liquid fabric softener.

If you want your clothes soft and smelling extra-fresh, Gain Original Fabric Softener is our go-to choice. The scent is light and long-lasting, so your laundry will stay crisp even after it’s folded and put away. In addition to creating soft and subtly fragrant clothes, this fabric softener ensures they stay static-free. 

This pick is compatible with all machines, including front and top load washers and high-efficiency (HE) machines. With less than an ounce needed per load, you can do up to 60 washes with one 51-ounce bottle. We love the incredible value of this liquid fabric softener—and that you can score even better deals on the bigger bottles.

Type: Liquid | Size: 51, 129, or 164 ounces | Scent: Original

Best Overall Fabric Softener Sheets

Bounce fabric softener dryer sheets.

They're super convenient and are mess-free.

They create extra waste since they're single-use.

If you’re all about convenience, nothing is better than the Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets. Aside from softening your clothes as they tumble dry, we love that these light-as-air dryer sheets eliminate wrinkles and static. For those with pets, these sheets can also remove hair and lint, all while infusing your clothes with a fresh, clean scent. 

The manufacturer recommends two sheets for best results, but you may find that one does the trick. Unlike jumbo bottles of fabric softener, these Bounce dryer sheets are lighter than air and easy to transport. If you live in an apartment and have to go out to a laundromat or a basement laundry room, it’s easy to tote along this box. 

Type: Sheets | Size: 34, 60, 105, 120, 160, 240, or 250 sheets | Scent: Outdoor Fresh

Best Overall Fabric Softener Beads

Downy fabric conditioning beads.

These beads protect your clothes from fading, stretching, or becoming fuzzy.

Beads may not fully dissolve in cold water.

When used consistently, the Down Defy Damage Beads protect your clothes and linens from fading, fuzzing, and stretching. If you want your clothes to look brand-new for longer, these beads can prevent standard wear and tear. 

The granules go in with the wash with your clothes and linens—just toss in a scoop or two (depending on the size of the load) along with your laundry detergent . They’re compatible with top- and front-loading washers and come in an unscented and Fresh scent, depending on your fragrance preferences. 

Type: Beads | Size: 24.6 ounces | Scent: Unscented (also available in Fresh)

Best Dryer Ball

Smart sheep wool dryer balls.

These dryer balls can last for years and reduce unnecessary waste.

There is no scented option available.

If you want a sustainable alternative to liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets, opt for these reusable dryer balls from Smart Sheep. They come in a six-pack that can last more than 1,000 loads—you could do three loads of laundry per day for an entire year without replacing or repurchasing.

To use them, toss three balls in a small to medium load or use all six for a large load. These wool balls bounce around your dryer and gently push and pull at your clothing to allow for better tumbling—meaning they will dry faster. As they move around, they also soften your clothes without any chemicals or fragrances. 

The price tag on these dryer balls is higher than some of our other selections but is arguably one of the best values when you consider how many times you have to replenish liquid fabric softener and dryer sheets. All you have to do is remove the balls after your laundry is dry and store them for next time—we think this is money well spent. 

Type: Reusable dryer balls | Size: 7.8 x 2.8 inches | Scent: Unscented

Best Scented Fabric Softener

Mrs. meyer’s clean day fabric softener.

Essential oils are used to get a great pure scent.

It has one of the lowest load sizes on our list, so you may need to repurchase more frequently.

If you love scented laundry but want more options than the usual “fresh” scents on the market, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the variety offered by Mrs. Meyer’s. These 32-ounce bottles come in various scents including lavender, honeysuckle, basil, peony, rainwater, and birchwood. The scents come from essential oils rather than artificial fragrances, though people with sensitive skin should still avoid scents altogether. 

Aside from the extensive scent selection, we love that this eco-friendly fabric softener is biodegradable and made using a cruelty-free formula. Plus, it makes your laundry soft, fluffy, and static-free load after load. While a little goes a long way with this product, the bottle can only handle up to 32 loads, which is smaller than some of other selections. 

Type: Liquid | Size: 32 ounces | Scent: Lavender, basil, birchwood, honeysuckle, peony, and rainwater

Best Unscented Fabric Softener

Seventh generation fabric softener sheets, free and clear.

This product is dermatologist-tested and safe for sensitive skin.

The sheets might cling to your clothes.

If freshly washed laundry is all the scent you need, you’ll love these fragrance-free dryer sheets from Seventh Generation. These super-soft sheets are 97 percent plant-based and made from recycled materials, according to the brand. Plus, it has a B rating from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) . 

These sheets are not only effective at softening your clothes but also work to reduce pesky static. And while most dryer sheets produce waste after each use, these are compostable, so you can feel good about tossing them in the garbage. 

Type: Sheet | Size: 80 sheets | Scent: Unscented (also available in three scents)

Best Fabric Softener for Sensitive Skin

Dropps fabric softener pods.

It's safe for towels and other moisture-wicking materials.

It's one of the most expensive options on our list, though a subscription makes it more affordable.

If you avoid fabric softeners due to skin sensitivities, Dropps Unscented might be the solution to soften clothes without irritation. And while most fabric softeners aren’t compatible with moisture-wicking materials like towels and athletic wear (since they can break down the fabric), Dropps is safe for all your clothing and linens. 

The formula is sustainable and cruelty-free, with mineral-based ingredients free of dyes, preservatives, and other harsh ingredients (it also has an A rating from the EWG ). We love the convenient no-brainer dosage of these pods—just add one to the wash. Though we chose this fragrance-free fabric softener because it’s safe for sensitive skin, this gentle formula is also available in scented versions. And while this is the most expensive option on our list, you can opt for a subscription refill every four months for a discounted price. 

Type: Pod | Size: 64, 128, or 192 pods | Scent: Unscented (also available in five scents)

Best Fabric Softener for Wrinkles

Downy wrinkle guard liquid fabric conditioner.

It specifically targets wrinkles by relaxing clothing fibers.

If used incorrectly it can stain clothes.

If you want to simplify your laundry day, you might love this Downy Wrinkle Guard Liquid Fabric Conditioner. It wrestles wrinkles into submission so you can ditch the iron and clothes steamer . Plus, the all-day, in-wear technology keeps creases and wrinkles at bay by relaxing fibers, protecting your wardrobe against fuzzing, fading, and stretching. While we’re all about the wrinkle-release ingredients, this Downy pick also has a signature fresh scent. If you're not a fan of fragrance though, it's also available in an unscented version.

Type: Liquid | Size: 48, 64, or 115 ounces | Scent: Fresh

Best Fabric Softener for Odors

Gain fabric softener.

It works to eliminates odors rather than masking them.

It's currently only available in larger sizes, which may be a hassle to carry.

Your detergent can do most of the dirty work to remove stains and odors, but a fabric softener like Gain + Odor Defense can ensure that you eliminate every stench and replace it with an invigorating, long-lasting scent. While some fabric softeners just cover up odors, Gain + Odor Defense attacks unsavory smells and eliminates them completely. This pick is available in Super Fresh Blast scent, Moonlight Breeze, and Tropical Sunrise. Each scent is formulated without dyes, which is great for sensitive skin.

Type: Liquid | Size: 113, 129, or 154 ounces | Scent: Super Fresh Blast

Best Eco-Friendly Fabric Softener

9 elements eucalyptus purifying softener.

This pick has an EPA Safer Choice Label and a minimal ingredient list.

The packaging could be improved, as the cap may leak.

If you prefer eco-friendly household products, consider adding the plant-based 9 Elements Purifying Softener to your laundry routine. The brand keeps its ingredient list to nine or fewer items, resulting in an effective product without artificial dyes, thickening agents, brighteners, or preservatives. This fabric softener also bears the EPA Safer Choice label , which certifies that it's safe for you and the environment. 

Instead of a laundry list of chemicals , this fabric softener uses vinegar, a powerful natural ingredient for cleaning , to remove odors and residue from clothes, leaving them soft and fresh. And there's no need to worry about a lingering vinegar smell: The eucalyptus and lemon scents imbue your clothes and linens with a refreshing, light scent. 

Type: Liquid | Size: 44 or 67 ounces | Scent: Eucalyptus or lemon

We couldn't choose one clear winner—instead, we chose the best product in each main category. The Gain Fabric Softener is our top pick for liquid fabric softener for its invigorating scent, affordable price, and impressive softening and anti-static power. For those who prefer dryer sheets, opt for the Bounce Dryer Sheets Laundry Fabric Softener —they upgrade your laundry routine in one easy, convenient step. Finally, we love the Downy Defy Damage Total-wash Fabric Conditioning Beads because they can protect your clothes and linens from wear and tear. 

How to Shop for Fabric Softener Like a Pro

Fabric softeners come in various forms, including liquids, sheets, beads, and reusable balls. Some are unscented while others imbue your linens and clothing with fragrance. Whether you want to prioritize convenience, fragrance, or sustainability, there is a fabric softener type to suit your needs. 

If certain scents or ingredients cause headaches or trigger allergic reactions, read the labels closely to avoid potentially irritating products. For those without allergies or sensitive skin, you can choose a fabric softener most convenient for you—provided it’s compatible with your machine.

Liquid: Liquid fabric softeners are usually added to the dispenser in front-load washers. For top loads, you can lift the lid and add it during the rinse cycle (or you could use pods that open automatically during the rinse cycle to release the softener). This is one of the most common types of fabric softener, as you can easily add it to your existing wash routine. 

Sheets: Toss one or two fabric softener sheets in the dryer (depending on the load size), then discard them when you pull out your dry clothes. While dryer sheets are one of the most convenient types of fabric softener, they are also single-use, so they aren't the most eco-friendly option (unless you opt for a compostable option like the Seventh Generation Fabric Softener Sheets ). 

Dryer balls: This eco-friendly, reusable form of fabric softener works to keep your clothes tumbling and let the airflow dry them more quickly, so you won’t have to run your dryer for as long. Just add a few of these balls to your clothes dryer —you might hear a muffled ruckus as they bounce, but not for long. Dryer balls are one of the most affordable options because they can last hundreds of loads. 

Beads: Fabric softener beads look like tiny beads or pebbles. To use them, add a scoop to your washing machine when you add your detergent, and the combo will clean and soften your clothes. 

Machine Compatibility

Just as you read the labels on your clothing before tossing them into the washer or dryer, you should ensure your fabric softener is compatible with your machine. If you have a high-efficiency (HE) washer, your liquid fabric softener must match that. Also, look at the correct amount for your load because too much of anything—even the best-smelling fabric softener—is never a good thing for your machine. 

Unless otherwise indicated, beads and liquid fabric softeners are safe for top-loading and front-loading washers. Sheets and dryer balls are suitable for almost any dryer type, but again, we recommend reading the label to confirm. 

Ingredients

If you or anyone in your household has allergies or sensitive skin, pay close attention to the ingredients in your fabric softener. Look for ingredients like dyes and fragrances, which can irritate the skin. Strong scents can also be irritating to some people. 

For a natural approach, look for fabric softeners with fragrances derived from essential oils, like Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Fabric Softener . Some fabric softeners, like the 9 Elements Laundry Purifying Softener Liquid , have the Safer Choice label, which designates products that are safe for you and the environment. 

Questions You Might Ask 

Is fabric softener necessary.

While fabric softener is not necessary, it can improve the scent and feel of your freshly laundered load. “Fabric softeners are great wrinkle and static reducers,” says Laurie Fulford of Poplin Laundry. She notes the main appeal of fabric softener is the scent. If you love clothes that come out of the dryer smelling like lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus, then fabric softener is a must-have in your laundry routine , she says. 

That said, “clothes can absolutely come out smelling fresh and clean without using fabric softener,” says Fulford. “It is not something you have to use on your clothes.” 

What fabrics should you not use fabric softener on?

Just like you wouldn’t wash reds with white sheets, there are certain fabrics that don’t mix with fabric softeners. Moisture-wicking fabrics like towels and athletic wear are in this category, according to Fulford. “Fabric softener can break down the fibers of these items, and eventually ruin them,” she says. Read your clothing labels carefully to ensure the fabric softener is safe to use. 

How does fabric softener work?

Fabric softener creates a chemical reaction in your washer or dryer—the ingredients in fabric softener contain positive charges, while the fabric of clothes and linens have negative charges. When the two mix, everything neutralizes, resulting in softer fabrics with less static. 

This article was written by Barbara Bellesi Zito , a freelance lifestyle writer based in Staten Island, N.Y. To compile this list of the best fabric softeners, she researched products from top brands while considering factors like machine compatibility, ingredients, and price. For expert advice on what you should know when purchasing fabric softeners, she consulted Laurie Fulford from Poplin Laundry.

Buyer's Guide: Travel Size Laundry Detergent

Key considerations.

  • Packaging Size : Since the main purpose is to limit the weight and space occupied in your luggage, the size of the detergent package is crucial. Look for compact and lightweight options that won't weigh you down during your travels.
  • Liquid vs. Sheets : Travel laundry detergents come in various forms – liquid, sheets, or even capsules. Consider the convenience and ease of use each form provides. Liquid detergents may require a spill-proof bottle or bag, while sheets and capsules offer a simpler solution.
  • Stain-fighting Power : From dirt to food stains, you want a detergent that can effectively tackle various stains. Look for travel size options that offer strong stain-fighting power, ensuring your clothes come out fresh and clean.
  • Scent : While not necessary, having a pleasing scent on your freshly laundered clothes can enhance your overall travel experience. Choose a detergent that offers a fragrance you enjoy, but be mindful of any potential allergic reactions.
  • Eco-friendly Options : If sustainability is important to you, consider eco-friendly travel size laundry detergents. Look for biodegradable or plant-based formulas that won't harm the environment during your travels.

Types of Travel Size Laundry Detergents

  • Liquid Detergents : These are the most common type of travel size detergents. They offer versatility and are available in various bottle sizes. However, be cautious with packaging to avoid leaks and spills.
  • Detergent Sheets : These lightweight and compact sheets are a convenient option for travelers. Simply toss a sheet into your laundry and let it dissolve. The downsides are limited washing power and potential for accidental tearing.
  • Detergent Capsules : These pre-measured capsules offer the ultimate convenience, with no need to measure the detergent. However, they may not be as readily available as other options and might not offer as many washes per pack.

Frequently Asked Questions about 9 Best Travel Size Laundry Detergent for 2023

Wearing your clothing more than once may be out of the question at home but for seasoned travelers, it’s our secret to packing light. We pack less of the right things and re-wear them as needed until we have time to do laundry.

Let’s just say that long-term travelers and backpackers especially get to know themselves on a whole other level and are accustomed to the classic “sniff test” to ensure clothing is still wearable for one more day.

If you’re not used to wearing your clothing more than once and are wondering how to make clothes smell fresh on the go, here are six dirty little secrets travelers use to re-wear clothing and pack light!

How to Make Clothes Smell Fresh on the Go

Travel Fashion Help! Reader asks:

I’m traveling to Spain and Italy for 11 days and want to travel light and only pack in a carry on suitcase. With this post on mixing and matching outfits I’m assuming you wear clothing several times without washing them. Do you have any tips on how to keep clothes smelling fresh on the go? I know it’s an odd question but just thought I would ask. This is going to be my first travel experience.

This was a great question and I’ve been meaning to address this subject for a while.  The answer is yes.  You would re-wear some clothing from your travel capsule wardrobe but you can also do laundry half way through your trip if needed.

Start by reading these tips on how to make your clothes smell fresh on the go:

  • How to do Laundry while Traveling
  • How to Hand Wash Clothing when Traveling
  • How to Pack Clothes Without Wrinkles
  • Use The Best Packing Organizers

Next, follow these steps to help you learn how to make your clothes smell fresh!

Foldable Travel Hanger

Hang Up Your Clothing

One of the best ways to help avoid scents when re-wearing clothing is to hang them up and letting them air out. I find this works particularly well when you have to re-use clothing in hot climates or when being active.

Sometimes you just don’t have the opportunity to wash your clothing in these situations, so this is a great tip for making clothes smell fresh.

how-to-make-clothes-smell-fresh

Febreze Air Freshener

Spritz a Bit of Freshener

If you have a bit of room for liquids, take a travel-size bottle of Febreze for a quick fix. Don’t spray delicate fabrics or clothes that can stain easily. Do a spot test just case! However, if you don’t have any room or weight to spare, the next item is a good option.

Fabric Softener Sheets

Use Fabric Softener Sheets

One of my favorite tips to share on how to make clothes smell fresh is to add a dryer sheet in between each piece of clothing. This helps dirty laundry smell better, clean clothing can still smell clean, and it also adds a fresh scent to your luggage. I put one in between clothing and one loose in my luggage. Remember, be careful with delicate items!

Pack More Tops Than Bottoms

As a general rule, packing more tops than bottoms is helpful when you’re creating a capsule travel wardrobe. It helps you maximize travel outfits while giving the illusion of completely different looks.

As a bonus, it’s easier to re-wear bottoms without washing just avoid light colors. While it can be tricky to know how to make clothes smell fresh when you’re dealing with delicate silk tops, jeans are easier to keep smelling odor-free.

White t-shirts are classic, and a  capsule wardrobe  staple!

If traveling in the summer, take dresses! They’re an easy, breezy travel outfit solution and a great secret for ensuring your clothes smell fresh. Look for light fabrics not heavy ones that won’t cling to your skin making them easier to re-wear.

And because they make a full outfit on their own, you can easily pack seven pieces for a one week trip and not have to wear anything more than once!

For cold weather travel, wear merino wool thermals under everything – they can be worn for days and won’t absorb scents so you’ll only need one or two pairs. This is a great trick for how to make clothes smell fresh when traveling. Since they’re closest to you skin you won’t need to wash the rest of your clothing.

The secret to cold weather travel is thermal underwear! Read this to discover our top ten brands for the best thermal underwear for women !

Compass Rose Compression Packing Cubes

For two week trips in hot weather travel, clothing is lighter so you can pack 3-4 bottoms and 11 tops and not do any laundry at all. That’s the Maximista size capsule wardrobe and should still fit into a carry-on with packing cubes .

Watch the packing tutorial on  Youtube !

In 2017, I launched Compass Rose Travel Accessories and my very first product was a  4-Piece Set of Carryon Packing Cubes . These are the only packing cubes  sized to fit the exact width of a carryon suitcase  and they also have a  unique color-coded and numbered organization system  – the only kind currently available anywhere on the market.

I put together a  five-part YouTube series  showing you the different methods to use packing cubes. If you use  this  specific packing strategy, they can also compress your belongings. This is the secret to traveling carryon only!

For a one week trip (depending on the time of year you’re traveling) you could take 3 bottoms + 7 tops and wash at the end of the first week if your trip is longer without having to re-wear tops.

all your links to the Compass Rose Packing cubes says currently unavailable. Maybe you should change the links or delete them. They look wonderful but discouraging when you click on the link.

Alex

Hi Carrie, sadly as a small business our Compass Rose product line was massively impacted by COVID and we’re still recovery. but we do have a small batch of our compass rose packing cubes coming available in April/May (fingers crossed) so if you’re interested, we’ve created a waiting list here: https://forms.gle/3W1xXDwyYwPyof4M7

With over 2000 articles on the blog and hundreds more in email and social, it’s challenging for us to update all the links. We’re just a small team, but you can find additional recommendations for packing cubes on this popular post: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/packing-cubes-video-tutorial-learn-how-to-pack-light/

Happy travels!

Diana

If you are doing something that may cause more odor, wash your underarms with hand sanitizer midway through the day. This cleans up most odor and it won’t transfer to your clothes. Thanks for the other tips, I am going to try some.

That is a really helpful tip, thanks for sharing Diana!

Laura

Hi! I love all your tips it’s been really helpful for me as my hubby and I are starting to travel more!! What do you use for dirty laundry? Should I use a packing cube or any other ideas?

Thanks! Laura

alex

Hi Laura, I just put dirty clothes in a plastic bag and back into a packing cube. ?

Thanks Alex! Your suggestion to use cubes has been a lifesaver! I hope that I can snag a set of your cubes they look amazing! ?

Thanks Laura ?

Mary

I spend a lot of time at AirBnb. I rinse only panty crotch each night, and under arms of tops. I dab a little vanilla or lavender water on a disposable face cloth and drag over items. Naturally if there are stains, I just wash the stain. Hang up clothes and put underwear over hangers.

Cher

Here’s a tip that works for us: Most suitcase linings have a zipper (between the lining and outer suitcase). We just spread out all of our laundry there; so none of the suitcase contents is in contact with the laundry. Has the benefit of cushioning the contents too (for rough airline handling).

Rashmi

Another idea is to stick a disposable panty liner into the armpits of delicate tops and dresses to protect them from sweat stains!

Phebe

I read somewhere that used and dried tea bags are good for getting nasty smells out of shoes – I had some Birkenstocks get gross and stinky after getting caught in the rain so I saved a couple of used tea bags, let them dry, and then put them in the Birk sandals overnight. Absorbed all the smell, and they were nice and fresh the next day.

Probably would work well on luggage as well!

I’ve also mixed baby powder and baking soda to freshen shoes and sandals, but that’s a little messy for inside luggage.

Ann Watters

Hanging clothes to air out has been my best strategy for keeping clothes fresh. Also have a look at Smartwool socks–the kind that don’t show — they can help prevent food odor and are easy to wash and dry out. They are pricey but well worth it IMO.

Jennifer

Check out using vodka in a spray bottle to remove odors.

Kim

Yes the vodka spray works. I did add some Young Living Purification essential oil to it.

Carol L Martin

Hey Kim, what is the ratio of vodka to Purification oil? What a great idea!

Retchel

Hi! I need some help. My suitcase smells bad i wash it many times bit it still smelly so my dresses smell the same too. Does anyone has an idea or just give any suggestions please!

How about adding in some dryer sheets? This always helps 🙂

Katie

Use a mixture of water and tea tree oil. Has anti-fungal properties and smells more natural. Chemicals in fresheners such as Febreze are way too harsh and overpowering.

Thanks Katie, good tip!

Deborah

Or try coffee grounds (fresh or used) wrapped in nylon bag. Will absorb odors without leaving a fragrance others may find offensive.

Jaime romero

Thank you Google. You helped and answered my question.

alex

Happy to help Jaime!

Rhiannon

I normally hang my things up and DAB ( i.e. a teensy bit) of essential oil onto the stinky bits. My favourite is a 5% dilution of Rose Otto from Amphora Aromatics – thus, I smell divine in 2-day-old crumpled clothes. Simple!

Great tip! I think sometimes I’ve pushed clothing way too far without washing. Probably this is much needed!

Zoe

Shaking garments out and hanging up in the sunshine really helps – I’m not an expert, but as I understand it, the UV rays actually help to break down the smells in the fibres of the clothing and the breeze blows them out.

A weird suggestion, but I’ve found that a quick blast from a hairdryer can freshen up a garment (ideally on a cool setting, if hanging outside isn’t an option) and hair dryers are also great for getting slightly damp things dry enough to wear or pack!

Hi Zoe that’s a great suggestion! Hadn’t thought of using a blow dryer before – good tip!

Lorriee

Here is a tip from experience. Keep the hair dryer a good distance from your clothing. If too close, you can scorch or burn your item!

Pati

I totally agree with Phebe – make sure you’re clean, and your clothes will smell nice longer 🙂 I also pack more tops than bottoms – great way to create new looks without being noticed that you’re actually wearing the same pair of shorts. The idea of a used dried tea bags is quite strange, but if it worked for Phebe, we would have to check it out 🙂

http://www.travelekspert.com/2015/09/the-sisterhood-of-world-bloggers-award.html

Definitely more tops than bottoms – great tactic!

Tons of tricks to avoid doing laundry constantly!

Carry Tide stain remover “pens” – they take out almost all stains from clothing so you don’t have to wash a top if you drop a little marinara.

Baby powder helps freshen white tops – just a tiny sprinkle! Also can freshen shoes – sprinkle, leave over night, shake out in the morning.

Room freshener, Febreze, Downy de-wrinkler, laundry lavender all can help freshen clothes. They can be lightly sprayed over most clothes, or used strategically for the more, well, aromatic areas of say a pair of jeans.

Weird as this sounds, used and dried tea bags are great at getting shoes to smell fresh. I’d think they’d also freshen luggage, jeans, jackets, etc. Be very careful with light colors, and make sure the tea bags are very dry. (I was amazed by how well they freshened wet sandals!)

You can always spot wash clothes as needed – as in just wash the underarms of a top and dry overnight if you really have nothing else to wear.

And taking daily showers, using baby powder and deodorant, making sure you’re clean and not stinky can definitely add to the time between washing clothes.

Love it! Awesome tips 🙂 Thank you these deserve their own post!

Do fabric softeners come in pods?

Yes, fabric softener pods are available for purchase. They are designed to make it easy to add fabric softener to your laundry load. Simply pop the pod into the washer drum and the fabric softener will dissolve and disperse during the wash cycle.

Fabric softener pods can be a great convenience, especially if you have a large laundry load. They are also a good choice if you have a front-loading washing machine, as these machines often require special detergents and additives.

However, fabric softener pods can be expensive, so you may want to consider other options, such as liquid fabric softener or fabric softener sheets, if you are on a budget.

How do you bring laundry detergent on vacation?

It can be a challenge to figure out how to pack everything you need for vacation, let alone laundry detergent. But with a little bit of planning, you can easily bring along your favorite detergent and get your clothes clean while on vacation.

The first step is to determine what type of detergent you prefer to use. If you like liquid detergent, you can either purchase a travel-sized bottle or pour your regular-sized bottle into a smaller container. If you prefer powdered detergent, you can either bring a small container of it or pack it in a ziploc bag.

Once you have your detergent packed, you’ll need to find a way to carry it with you. If you’re bringing a liquid detergent, you can either bring a small travel-sized bottle or pour your regular-sized bottle into a smaller container. If you’re bringing a powdered detergent, you can either bring a small container of it or pack it in a ziploc bag.

If you’re bringing a liquid detergent, you can either bring a small travel-sized bottle or pour your regular-sized bottle into a smaller container. If you’re bringing a powdered detergent, you can either bring a small container of it or pack it in a ziploc bag.

Another option for bringing laundry detergent with you on vacation is to purchase a detergent pod. These small, pre-measured detergent packets are easy to pack and can be used with either a liquid or powdered detergent dispenser.

No matter what type of detergent you choose to bring, be sure to pack it in a waterproof container. This will help to protect it from any potential moisture damage while you’re on vacation.

With a little bit of planning, you can easily bring your favorite laundry detergent with you on vacation. By following these simple tips, you’ll be able to keep your clothes clean and looking their best while on vacation.

Will laundry pods explode in airplane?

Laundry pods can be a convenient way to do laundry, but there is a risk that they can explode. This has led to some concerns that they could explode on airplanes.

Laundry pods are small packets of detergent that are designed to be used in a washing machine. They have become increasingly popular in recent years, but there is a risk that they can explode. In March of 2018, Tide issued a warning that their pods could explode if they were left in a hot car.

The concern is that if these pods were to explode on an airplane, it could cause a serious fire. In 2017, a woman was injured after a laundry pod exploded on an airplane. There have also been several cases of these pods exploding in homes.

So far, there has been no evidence that laundry pods will explode on an airplane. However, it is still a risk that passengers should be aware of. If you are travelling with laundry pods, be sure to pack them in your carry-on bag, and not in your checked luggage.

Can fabric softener be poured directly on clothes?

Yes, fabric softener can be poured directly on clothes. It is important to follow the instructions on the fabric softener bottle, as too much fabric softener can make clothes feel heavy and oily.

What can I use in place of fabric softener?

There are a number of different products that you can use in place of fabric softener. One option is to use a vinegar and water solution. Add one cup of white vinegar to a gallon of water and soak your clothes in it for about an hour. Then wash them as usual.

Another option is to use a baking soda solution. Add one cup of baking soda to a gallon of water and soak your clothes in it for about an hour. Then wash them as usual.

You can also use a liquid fabric softener. Just add it to the rinse cycle instead of using fabric softener sheets.

Are pods better than liquid?

Are pods better than liquid? This is a question that many coffee drinkers have asked themselves. Both pod coffee and liquid coffee have their pros and cons, so it can be difficult to decide which is the better option.

Pod coffee is made by placing coffee grounds in a small, disposable pod. The pod is then inserted into a coffee machine, which uses hot water to brew the coffee. Pod coffee machines are often small and portable, which makes them a good choice for people who don’t have a lot of space.

Liquid coffee is made by brewing coffee grounds with hot water. There are many different ways to make liquid coffee, so it can be tailored to fit your individual preferences. Liquid coffee can be made in a traditional coffee pot, or in a single serve brewer.

So, which is better – pod coffee or liquid coffee? It really depends on your preferences. If you like a strong, bold cup of coffee, then pod coffee is probably the better choice. If you prefer a milder cup of coffee, then liquid coffee is a better option.

How do Travellers do laundry?

There is no one answer to this question, as different Travellers have their own methods and traditions when it comes to laundry. However, there are some general steps that most Travellers take when laundering their clothes.

The first step is usually to gather all of the dirty clothes together. Next, the Travellers will assess the amount of laundry they have and decide how much needs to be done. Some Travellers only do a load or two of laundry at a time, while others will do an entire week’s worth of laundry in one go.

Once the decision has been made on how much laundry needs to be done, the next step is to choose the right detergent. Travellers often have their own favourite detergents, but in general, they will use a detergent that is tough on dirt and smells good.

After the detergent has been chosen, the Travellers will add it to the washing machine. They will then add the clothes, making sure to separate the colours from the whites. Lastly, they will set the machine to the desired temperature and wash cycle.

Once the laundry is finished, the Travellers will usually hang the clothes out to dry. In some cases, they may use a clothesline, while others will use a dryer. Once the clothes are dry, they will be folded and put away.

As you can see, there is no one right way to do Traveller laundry. Every Traveller has their own traditions and methods, which often vary from one community to the next. However, the steps outlined above are some of the most common ones.

What Does Fabric Softener Do—and Is It Good or Bad for Your Clothes?

Doing laundry is a chore I learned early in life. And for the longest time, I stuck with the same techniques, never questioning the process. What does fabric softener do? Why do I need it? And should I really waste my money on the stuff? Those questions never crossed my mind. Then nearly 15 years ago, I became a cleaning editor and finally adapted my methods. Now I know that the textile and laundry-care industries have made major advancements in efficacy, efficiency and the overall experience, changing the rules for some age-old approaches—including the use of fabric softener.

So what does fabric softener do exactly, and is it something you should be using? I reached out to a professor of fiber science, a fabric scientist at Proctor and Gamble, a second-generation laundry professional and an expert at Whirlpool to discuss the pros and cons of fabric softener so you can determine whether it's worth keeping as part of your laundry repertoire, or if it's a step you can eliminate from the chore.

What does fabric softener do?

"As the name implies, fabric softener makes clothes softer, thanks to properties that coat the fibers in your clothing and work to soften them during the laundry load," explains Whirlpool's Morgan LaLonde. It can also help reduce static, prevent wrinkles and add fragrance.

A softness boost may sound simple, but there's some science involved: "Fabric softeners basically add an electrically charged chemical coating to fabrics that lubricates them and makes them feel softer by causing fiber ends to stand up," says Frances Kozen, the senior lecturer at the Human Centered Design Department at Cornell University. "It holds moisture, which reduces electrostatic buildup, meaning less static cling and less lint or dust buildup on the fabric surface."

You may be surprised to hear that the laundry process can actually be quite damaging to clothes. Sammy Wang, a senior scientist for Downy, shares some facts about just how ruthless the wash can be:

  • Clothes can spin as fast as 50 miles per hour in your washing machine.
  • Clothes can be thrashed 3,000 times in every wash cycle.
  • Dryers can get hot enough to cook ribs.

Yikes! It's no wonder we've been turning to fabric softener for years. It can help repair the effects of the laundry process by smoothing and strengthening fibers to protect items during the wash.

Is fabric softener good or bad for clothes?

It's complicated! Fabric softener has its perks and can be used occasionally, but it's not the best option for every load. Natural fibers like cotton or linen tend to experience more damage during the washing process than other materials, and their hydrophilic (or water-loving) nature plays a role.

"That means they absorb water and swell when wet," explains Wang. "When these swollen fibers get tumbled around during the wash, they can get damaged more easily, leading to fading, pilling or fuzzing. In the dryer, natural fibers can also be prone to shrinking or abrasion as they release the water they absorbed in the washer, which can lead to damage." Treating the fibers with fabric softener will help protect them while also preventing fading, stretching and wrinkles.

But it's not ideal for other fabrics, which can lose some of their flame-resistant and water-repellant properties when coated in fabric softener. The bottom line: Check each garment's care label and treat them accordingly.

What are the problems with fabric softener?

For all the good it can do for your laundry, fabric softener isn't universally useful. In fact, there are times when it's better to avoid the stuff than risk aggravating sensitive skin or negatively affecting your clothing.

It can irritate skin

"Any additive has the potential to irritate sensitive skin," says LaLonde. "Those with sensitive skin or allergies should avoid fabric softeners, fabric conditioners and dryer sheets altogether."

If you're looking for a compromise, Wang notes that some brands offer unscented or hypoallergenic fabric softeners to provide the same conditioning benefits while being gentle against sensitive skin.

It can reduce flame resistance

A word of caution: Never use fabric softener on children's sleepwear. Those items are treated with flame retardants, as required by law and published in the Code of Federal Regulations.

What does fabric softener do to these? It coats the fibers of flame-resistant fabric, leaving behind a film that causes the material to work less effectively, LaLonde warns.

"As stated on fabric softener packaging, liquid fabric conditioner can increase fabric flammability," Wang says. "Do not use fabric softener on children's sleepwear or garments labeled as 'flame resistant,' as it may reduce flame resistance."

It's bad for certain fabrics

"Avoid using fabric softener on water-repellent fabrics, flame-resistant fabrics, towels, athletic wear and microfiber ," says LaLonde.

Kozen explains that using fabric softener on water-resistant outerwear (like Gore-Tex) would "impede the function of microporous, breathable, water-repellent membranes and attract moisture to the outer surface that is meant to resist water." Additionally, it can reduce towel absorbency.

When should you—and shouldn't you—use fabric softener?

Pay attention to the fabric type, stresses LaLonde, and make sure it's compatible with softeners by checking the care label. You also want to address the needs of your laundry: Do you want to soften rough fabrics? Lessen pilling ? Get rid of static? Figure that out first, then determine if a fabric softener would benefit your next load, she says.

Use fabric softener when you want to:

  • Fight fading on new, dark clothes (like dark or black denim, says Wang)
  • Soften rough materials
  • Minimize wrinkles on natural-fiber clothing
  • Repair damage (like fading, fuzzing or stretching)

Avoid fabric softeners on:

  • Children's sleepwear or other flame-resistant garments
  • Towels and microfiber
  • Water-resistant outerwear

How to use fabric softener

Prepare your wash load as normal, then determine where your fabric softener should go. "Many washing machines have a specific compartment for liquid fabric softeners that ensures the softener is dispensed at the right time during the cycle," explains LaLonde. "If your appliance has one, simply add the liquid fabric softener there before starting the machine."

Wang shares where to look for the softener dispenser on different types of washing machines:

  • Front-loading HE washing machines typically have a pull-out dispenser tray.
  • Top-loading HE machines have either a pull-out dispenser tray or a dispenser along the rim of the drum.
  • Traditional top-loading machines have a dispenser in the center agitator.

If your appliance doesn't have a fabric softener dispenser, try a dispensing ball instead, suggests Zachary Pozniak, a second-generation dry cleaner and laundry expert at Jeeves New York. Using one is a simple two-step process:

  • Fill the ball with fabric softener according to the product instructions.
  • Toss it into the drum along with your clothes.

"The spinning action of the washer's chamber during the rinse cycle will pop open the ball's lid," Wang adds. That's when the solution will reach your laundry. Heads up: You'll want to avoid using the Downy Ball dispenser in a front-loading washing machine , "as the rinse cycle action will not activate the Downy Ball lid properly," she says.

You can also add liquid or powder fabric softener yourself if your appliance does not have a dedicated compartment. Add it directly to the washer basin during the final rinse cycle, says LaLonde. This ensures that the detergent won't wash away the softener beforehand.

Alternatives to fabric softener

Fabric softener isn't the only tool that will free your clothing of static and leave it smelling great. The products below work equally well.

  • Wool dryer balls: These tennis-ball-size tools can help fluff clothes and speed up the drying process by absorbing moisture. You can even add a few drops of essential oil onto each ball to get the added benefit of fragrance infused into each load.
  • Aluminum foil: You can make your own dryer balls by wadding up aluminum foil. This method is extremely cost-effective compared with fabric softener, and because the metal acts as a conductor, it should help reduce static cling.
  • Scent beads: If you're after fragrance, you can add scent beads to the washer's drum before the clothing goes in. "This ensures that the scent beads come into contact with the water (which gathers at the bottom) immediately and start dissolving right away," explains Wang.

Do you really need to use fabric softener?

According to Pozniak, fabric softener was invented back when cotton fibers were incredibly stiff and itchy. Since then, the textile industry has made strides to make textiles more comfortable, therefore making fabric softener less crucial. Yet some folks still prefer to add it in. While it's not necessary, it's all about personal preference, he says.

"It is an easy additional step to laundry day if you're looking for less static , fewer wrinkles and a pleasant scent," adds LaLonde.

Will clothes get clean with just fabric softener?

Fabric softener is an additive, not a cleaner itself, so it needs to be used along with a laundry detergent . Pozniak equates fabric softener to hair conditioner; you still need shampoo to clean the hair before you soften or detangle it.

How can I make clothes smell good without fabric softener?

Fragranced detergents , scent beads or even hanging clothes outside to dry can help freshen up the smell of your laundry.

"For consumers who don't want to use fabric softeners but are still looking for products that care for clothes like athletic wear or leggings, Downy has a new product called Downy Rinse and Refresh," says Wang (who works for Downy parent company Procter and Gamble). "It's used in the same dispenser slot and phase of the wash [the rinse cycle] as fabric softener, but it works differently." The product helps to strip away buildup and odor that can get trapped in clothing.

Pozniak also recommends Tide Boost as a similar rinse-cycle remedy to help remove malodor and keep clothes smelling fresh.

From the manufacturer

The agitation, spinning, and heat of the laundry process can damage clothes at the fiber level. But Downy Fabric Softener smooths and strengthens fibers to protect clothes from the damage of the wash, helping them maintain their shape. By smoothing fibers, Downy reduces the friction between them that causes them to break and leads to pills and fuzz. And when fibers break, colors appear duller, so using Downy also helps keep your clothes from fading.

Product Description

Give your clothes a softer feel and a refreshing scent with Downy Clean Breeze Fabric Softener. Downy Fabric Softener protects your clothes from stretching, fading, and fuzz while adding the fantastic Clean Breeze scent. Enjoy 3X more freshness* with less static and fewer wrinkles after every wash. Downy Liquid Fabric Softener is compatible with all top- and front-loading HE machines. It's easy to use—after adding your favorite laundry detergent, pour Downy Liquid Fabric Softener into the fabric softener dispenser drawer or directly into the agitator and start the washer on your preferred cycle. Feel softer, smell fresher, and look newer** with Downy 7-in-1 Fabric Softener. *Longer-lasting scent vs. Tide Original liquid. **Vs. detergent alone.
