Laundry care in the summer can be a challenge. Getting rid of unpleasant odors, like sweat, from your clothes can be a hassle. Sometimes, simply washing your clothes in the washing machine isn’t enough. What can help? Tips and tricks from Schulthess.
It’s hot, it’s sweaty. On muggy summer days, there’s nothing better than stepping into a refreshing shower and then slipping into clean, fresh laundry that smells like summer. But how do you get rid of sweat odors when doing laundry?
Here’s how to get your laundry really fresh and clean in the washing machine:
Power detergent with an extremely low dosage
One reason why laundry doesn’t get properly clean is using the wrong amount of detergent. That’s why it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take water hardness into account. Because when it comes to the environment, less is more, Schulthess has developed its own premium line of detergents: Flow. This detergent is highly concentrated. This means that a minimal dose of just 25 milliliters is enough for a full load of laundry. By comparison: Normally, you need 50 to 75 milliliters of detergent for a wash cycle to ensure the laundry comes out truly clean. The Schulthess innovators have done a great job here and developed a formula that washes hygienically clean with much less detergent.
Schulthess Flow laundry detergent is available in three varieties: Flow delicateFabric for delicate and fine fabrics, Flow splendidColor for vibrant colors, and Flow speedUp for sportswear. Brand new to the range is the laundry spray Flow lovelySplash – for an extra burst of freshness in your closet and suitcase.
There are a few things to keep in mind when drying your laundry to ensure it stays fresh-smelling for a long time.
You can find special laundry detergents, scented beads, or scented sheets on the market that promise a long-lasting scent. However, these are generally not necessary for fresh laundry.
Instead of fabric softener, a few drops of essential oil will do the trick. To do this, add 10 to 20 drops of oil (such as lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, or peppermint) to the fabric softener compartment along with a little vinegar (approx. 50 ml). Thanks to the vinegar, this mixture also acts as a limescale remover.
You don’t have to wash your laundry every time it stops smelling fresh. Letting it air out on the balcony overnight is often enough. If you’d like, you can make your own laundry spray. Here’s how:
Place all ingredients in a spray bottle, shake well, and lightly spray onto laundry.
If you prefer something simple and elegant, use a ready-to-use laundry spray in your closet, such as lovelySplash by Schulthess. It fills drawers and closets with a unique fragrance—and if you take it with you when traveling, you’ll enjoy a pleasant scent in your suitcase. The Schulthess laundry spray lovelySplash is the latest addition to the premium laundry detergent line Flow. The scent is delicate, pure, and unmistakable. It envelops the senses and smells like freshly washed laundry in the sunlight.
Washing machines are often a breeding ground for germs, viruses, and bacteria. That’s because these machines are frequently teeming with germs: Limescale, dirt, detergent residue, sticky rubber seals, mold. No wonder the laundry doesn’t get properly clean or comes out of the machine smelling musty. Wiping down the washing machine with a clean cloth after every load and cleaning the detergent drawer helps. But what’s really needed for a hygienically clean washing machine is a professional cleaning service.
That’s exactly what the Schulthess cleanService is for. Schulthess service technicians perform professional machine maintenance and care. This involves removing limescale, detergent residue, and dirt—everywhere, even in places you can’t see. The service technician checks the electronics, all seals, pumps, and programs, and makes adjustments as needed. The result: a washing machine that delivers top-notch results and hygienically clean laundry that smells just as fresh.
Very important! Dirt, limescale, and germs build up in washing machines, which not only cause unpleasant odors but can also spread disease.
Absolutely. With Schulthess’s cleanService, machines are professionally cleaned and descaled by experts. This includes the interior—the areas where you can’t even see the dirt and can’t reach yourself.
No. Although the cleanService is performed by Schulthess service staff, it is available for machines of all brands.
It also extends the life of the appliance and significantly reduces energy consumption—and thus costs. That’s because descaled and clean machines require less energy.
