Freshing Up Your Linens 

This is a simple idea that I use at home. During wintertime, It is especially cold where I live in Holland. To cozy things up on a cold winters night and to makes my bed linens and tablecloths smell festive this is what I do.

Instructions

  • Take a mesh bag used for delicate laundry or the leg of an old pair of nylons and stuff it with a couple dry cinnamon sticks, some dry cloves, dried orange rind, and a vanilla bean ( or the like).
  • Secure the open end and then toss it in the dryer with your bedding and linens.
  • This makes crawling into bed at night quite an toasty treat with aromatic dreams. The drying process also makes your house smell good too.
  • Make sure your herbs and spices are nice and dry so as not to make your linen sticky.
