HAPPY MONDAY!!! I hope everyone’s Mother’s Day was amazing, and full of happiness. I missed my mom big time, but we spent the day with my boyfriend’s mom, so that helped. 🙂
THREE THINGS:
1.) I’m addicted to anything pickles. Chips, dips, in hamburgers, even the pickle juice! 😉 Well… DILL pickles or half sour pickles. Not the sweet ones. 🤢 LOL!!
2.) I need to remember to buy dill pickle relish. I’ve had that once and loved it (instead of the usual sweet relish). I keep forgetting to look for it.
3.) I’m hooked on Lysol Laundry Sanitizer. I’m a huge fan of bleach because I love the super-clean scent it leaves and how well it cleans, but I can only use it on whites. How to disinfect darks and colors? And then I found this and I LOVE IT!! It leaves my washer smelling fresh, and the clothes come out amazing. Who knows if it really works? But I love the smell and will just assume it does. I wish Costco would carry it.

Thank you for the tip on the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer! I just ordered it from your link!
You won’t be sorry!!! It’s how I feel the laundry gets REALLY clean.
This family is a huge dill pickle fan!! We hate sweet. My 16 yr old son drinks it straight from the bottle….🤦♀️
I’m going to try the Lysol sanitizer, we own a pizza shop and our clothes smell no matter what we use… scent boost is our go to to help… I choose cheap detergent because it doesn’t matter what brand, nothing works on the pizza smell. So we just try to mask it… I even use laundry boost, like borax or baking soda. The only thing I haven’t tried is vinegar, so I will have to try it when I remember to buy it…🤷♀️ I rinse them twice because I always use so much stuff! Even shirts that’s been sitting in the closet for years still smell.ugh
I’m over here going…I want my clothes to smell like pizza! 😆
LOL 😂
Give that Lysol a try and let me know what you think. Now I’m super curious if it’ll work. And I’m with R. Pizza smell is so yummy!!!
It worked!! I could tell as soon as I took them out of the dryer with first sniff!! And by the way it’s not a smells good to type of smell when it comes to the pizza smelling clothes…🤣🤣🤣 it smells delicious only when coming out the oven!🤤❤️💯
Now to see if it still smells fresh after a few week’s hanging in the closet….
I used : 1 scoop of Borax 1 scoop of l scent booster 3 laundry pods and I lid full of the Lysol sanitizer Washed 1 rinsed twice
Yes it’s a lot😳😳😳 but it worked
I KNEW IT!! I just bought my latest bottle on Amazon. I had a great deal when I got it at Costco a year ago… but they haven’t had it since. I’m bummed.
So for now it’s Publix or Amazon for me. Amazon is cheaper than Publix this week.
Try vinegar on that smelly laundry, it worked for my son’s stinky baseball clothes. It’s usually a cup per load but I had to double it for his clothes. Even though it smells like vinegar when you take them out, the smell dissipates if they air dry and disappears in the dryer.
