Retaining Perfume After The Drying Cycle

  • Print
Details
Written by Rich Fitzmorris

Question: After a softener wash, in some cases, the perfume is not retained after the drying cycle. Can you suggest a remedy?
-Simon

 

 

Answer: The loss of perfume after the last cycle is due to the fact that the perfume is water-soluble and is lost when the water is driven out of the fabric during the drying process. It you desire a perfume smell on the linens, a non water-soluble perfume should be used in the final bath. Another possibility would be to add a perfumed strip during the drying process.

Personally, I prefer the clean linen smell without the use of additional perfumes!
