How to Make Bed Sheets Smell Good

In the Bed

• 1

  Keep all of the bedding laundered. Dry on the hottest setting to make sure to kill all stages of bed bugs.

• 2

  Shower before going to bed. The smell of soap, shampoo and conditioner will leak into the pores of the linen.

• 3

  Spread baby powder under the bottom sheet. This will absorb odors, act as a cooling agent and place a nice smell in your sheets.

• 4

  Keep the bedroom well ventilated. Proper ventilation prevents odors from being trapped in the bedroom, and therefore, the sheets.

• 5

  Keep pets off your bed.

In the Closet

• 6

  Turn on the linen closet light for an hour a day. The light will help to keep out the moisture by keeping the closet dry.

• 7

  Leave the linen closet door open to allow ventilation. This serves two purposes: one, it helps to keep the sheets dry; and two, odors are not trapped inside the closet with the sheets.

• 8

  Place a dryer sheet into the closet to keep your linen smelling fresh.

• 9

  Place activated charcoal or baking soda into a container, and place the container in the closet. These materials absorb odors.
