🧺How to Wash with Laundry Perfumes: A Luxury Step-by-Step Guide

Laundry should smell like you chose it, not like chemicals clinging to your clothes. With Cashmere Aroma laundry perfumes, your clothes don’t just come out clean, they come out elevated.

Here’s exactly how to use them, plus the truth behind why they feel different from heavily perfumed softeners.

🧼 Step 1: Wash as Usual

Add your detergent and load your clothes. Clean comes first.

📏 Step 2: Measure Your Perfume

Regular load (4–5 kg): 5–10 ml

For extra intensity: up to 15 ml

💡 Our bottles have a measuring cap, no guesswork.

💧 Step 3: Add to the Softener Drawer

That’s the secret. During the rinse cycle, the perfume becomes deeply ingrained in your fabrics.

🌬️ Step 4: Dry the Right Way

Best: Air-dry → fragrance lasts longer and opens up beautifully.

If using a tumble dryer, keep in mind that heat can fade fragrance faster. A trick I swear by is wool dryer balls add a couple of drops of perfume to them, and they’ll re-infuse scent while your laundry dries. I’ve had mine for over four years, and they’ve more than paid for themselves. They even cut drying time by up to 25%.

💡 Why Some Softeners Seem Stronger

Ever noticed that supermarket softeners feel stronger than laundry perfumes? Here’s the truth:

👉 What smells “strong” isn’t always what’s best for your fabrics. Our perfumes give you true freshness, no residue, no wax.

🧪 How to Maximise Your Perfume

1. Use perfume-free detergent stick to perfume-free options so the scent of your chosen laundry perfume isn’t competing with anything else. We stock ours that are tried and tested here. If you’d rather grab something while you’re doing your weekly shop, Ecover Zero Non-Bio Laundry Detergent is an alternative. I’ll be honest, though, I can’t promise it’s as good as ours.

2. Use perfume-free softener: the same rule applies to perfume-free only. We stock one that plays nicely with fragrance you can find it here, but if you’re ordering other bits on Amazon Prime, you could save on postage with Ecover’s laundry softener. It’s not cheaper than ours, and I can’t guarantee it’s better, but if you’re filling a basket anyway, it’s a decent option.

    

3. Budget hack: skip the softener altogether and use white vinegar. A splash in the softener drawer softens clothes without clashing with fragrance. Aldi and Lidl sell 5% vinegar for just 35–45p a bottle, or if you like to stock up, I bulk-buy Hexeal White Vinegar (10L) and it lasts forever.

It naturally softens by breaking down detergent residue and balancing fabric pH.

Clothes come out fresher, lighter, and ready to absorb perfume perfectly.

Don’t worry: the vinegar smell vanishes, leaving only your chosen Cashmere Aroma fragrance.
