I dont get it?

fwan · Apr 19, 2005

my landlord told me on saturday that i can put my wet laundry in the basement on monday. tuesdays and wednesdays.
Anyway, i have noticed that my neighbour had been wearing really nice perfume, atleast i thought it was, untill today i went down there to bring my dry washing up and i could smell her "perfume" all over the basement and it was coming from the clothes she hung up!
Why doesnt my washing come out like that????
when ever i was my bf's clothes he still has a strong odur on his and i dont get it how hers can go away and mine cant???

Should i use the same washing liquid as she does? or do i have to put in more powder?? I have a fairly small washing machine.... could mine be broken?

im just so lost!

Does she use a liquid fabric softner?? I just got a new Downy liquid fabric softner and it is STRONG!!! Hubby hates it cause he smells 'pretty'. Can't have that in the army lol

fwan · Apr 19, 2005

I swear by fabric conditioner!

The blue Lenor is great

If I leave stuff on my banisters to dry it makes the whole flat smell lovely!

Have tried the brand "Tide?" The liquid version. Your clothes come out with such heavenly scent that you just want to burying your face in the clothes and go "AHHHHH!!!!!."

And the best part of it is that as you pour the liquid out you can sing the following song. And imagine the dirt on the clothes as the girl in the song trying to cling on while the Tide soap does its job:

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

It's not the things you do that tease and wound me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

I use both liquid fabric softener and dryer sheets.

Yeah. I'm a freak. But I'm a freak with good smelling laundry!

Gilly have you tried the Comfort conditioner in the capsules?

Gorgeous!, i promise you!

The smell goes right through the house!.

gilly · Apr 19, 2005

I have seen the capsules but not tried it yet... they seem expensive (but then that's prolly cos I go through that stuff like anything!)...

rosiemac · Apr 19, 2005

Seriously try them though Gilly!, if you think Lenor is lovely you'll never use it again after these!.

We usually do the same here! We put in our detergent, then the Downy Ball with softener, and then dryer sheets! It absolutely smells amazing!

I shall try and remember to get them the next time I go to Spasda/Asda

fwan · Apr 19, 2005

what are dryer sheets??

rosiemac · Apr 19, 2005

Their fabric sheets that you put in the tumble dryer with your clothes.

fwan · Apr 19, 2005

duh i thought it was some sort of fabric softener you were talking about LOL!

i just went down there and she uses SOFTLAN vanilla and orchid...

She has learnt to leave her stuff on top of the washing machine too so i just grabbed it and sniffed it

!

Hmm i think thats the next thing i gotta buy coz i bought the purple one with the wild lavander or something oo i cant wait!
washing can be so fun! haha

gilly · Apr 19, 2005

I was meant to get a dishwasher but when I moved in I thought, ahh it's not worth it with just me living here. So... there is a space right next to my washing machine where I could get a TUMBLE DRYER! This topic has just made me think about this! ... See I had a new kitchen put in and everything then decided against the dishwasher, it was too late to get more cupboards as the worktop had been fixed and tilled then dumb ass here changed her mind... lol

dicknleah · Apr 19, 2005

I prefer snuggle but downy will work if it's on sale. Oh, and the green stuff is my favorite.

annabelle33 · Apr 19, 2005

I use the fabric softener sheets for my dryer.. I don't have good luck with the liquid, I don't know if it's my machine or what. I've also started using the scented detergents and they smell awesome. I used to only use unscented but these are great. My bf always asks why his clothes smell so good when I wash them and don't when he does.. hehe.

I have my dryer in the kitchen. It's on an inside wall, so I bought an unvented "Condensation Dryer" (and use the distilled water in my steam cleaner). It works quite well.

fwan · Apr 19, 2005

What detergents do you use?

I use Weise Reise for undies, socks, bedding, and towels

and Persil on clothes
