Tuesday Tip


These are the mini versions of my favorite scented soap.
 Scented sheets and towels on the cheap! This tip was discovered by accident.  I love to spray my sheets with a  linen spray, especially in the spring and summer. But sometimes I run out or can't find a scent that I want to sleep with!



Currently our main linen closet has that awful vinyl coated stuff that makes everything "ribbed" if you don't put paper down first. It's on the "to do" list that includes installing the same shelving that we've put in some of the other closets. In the meantime, I tolerate the fact I don't have enough room to put things exactly where I want them.

Slip soaps between towels and sheets....especially pillowcases!

In the crowded closet, the pillow cases have found there way on top of the soap basket. And, guess what? They smell so good! Literally everything even close to them smells like fresh laundry! So, I thought if Dove can make the linens smell this good, what about some of my favorite soaps slipped in between towels too? Try it with your favorite soap!

  3. My Mom has soap in just about every draw in the house - but she uses it to keep the moths away! (Still makes the linens smell good though).

  8. Over the weekend, between my 2 trips, I just had to clean out the pantry and fill bags to donate. Now you've inspired me to get the linen closet in order when I return. Isn't it funny how we naturally go into Spring cleaning mode?

    Next up, getting the windows washed!!

  15. I store our soap
    in with the towels,
    too. I love it, Mr.
    P, not so much, for
    some reason. Maybe
    if I used Old Spice
    soap on a rope??
    Always love your T.T.,
    R!!
