Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live.

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

9 Tips To Keep Your Wardrobe Smelling Fresh

PR Sample

Springtime is one of my favourite seasons, being a summer baby, I prefer warmer weather and wearing light clothes. Over the last few weeks, the weather has been anything but Spring-like, causing havoc on my wardrobe. I am unsure whether to update my wardrobe back to winter or continue with the Spring Capsule?

Having recently moved house, I have had to pack most of my clothes in boxes and had been worried about the odour. Thankfully, I know how to keep your wardrobe smelling fresh even with clothes from storage. Recently, I was sent Day 2 dry wash spray which works like a charm and helps keep your wardrobe smelling fresh.

Keep Your Wardrobe Smelling Fresh

Disclosure: I was sent Day 2 dry wash spray in exchange for an honest review on A July Dreamer. All opinions shared about the product are our own and through our own testing.

9 Tips To Keep Your Wardrobe Smelling Fresh

At the beginning of every season, I make a point of looking through my closet and removing any clothes that I can not wear in the new season. This season was, no different, unfortunately, I was also in the middle of a move, therefore, most of my clothes were put in storage.

Anyone who’s ever put clothes in storage knows the odour that comes with it. Over the last few years, I have been using these tips to keep my closet smelling fresh and odour free. Recently, I added Day 2 Dry wash spray to the mix and I am loving the results I have seen.

Keep Your Wardrobe Smelling Fresh

For those looking for simple, cheap and effective ways to keep your wardrobe smelling fresh, then look no further.

  • Coffee grounds – they are great at keeping odours at bay so I have a small pot in storage. Coffee grounds are great at absorbing odour ensuring your clothes remain odour free.
  • Scented paper – you can buy scented paper and keep with the clothes in storage or spray some perfume onto a tissue paper and store with the clothes.
  • Potpourri – provides a natural gentle scent and keeps the odour at bay, I often keep a small satchel in the closet.
  • Dry your washing outside – the UK weather leaves nothing to be desired, it’s better to give the laundry a breath of fresh air by driving it outside.
  • Great ventilation – I always ensure the wardrobe is well ventilated, this allows the clothes to breathe and stay fresh.
  • Essential oils – though I rarely use them in my home, a few drops in the wash carries the scent through keeping it fresh during storage.
  • Remove clothes from the washing machine as soon as the circle ends, this stops the clothes from being covered with the damp smell.
  • Unstoppables {Lenor} – this is one trick I have been using for a few years now and absolutely love it. A few shakes into the wash and clothes smelling fresh for many weeks on end.
  • Day 2 dry wash spray – the best invention after bread and butter, I absolutely love this product. Not only is there a spray for denim but its easy to use, a few sprays, hang for 10-15 minutes and its ready. I am loving it even more because as a frequent traveller, I don’t often have time to do laundry on the go.

Day 2 Dry Wash Spray Review – Best Laundry Hack

Prior to Day 2 reaching out, I had never heard of them, a quick google search and I knew I would love this brand. They are the first who has curated a wash spray working in a similar way to dry shampoo. The idea of a dry wash spray definitely tickled my fancy and I just had to give it a try.

How does it work? Well, it is very simple, they have three different sprays for 3 clothes types; Delicate, Denim and Original. All you have to do is lay the clothes on the floor, spray the correct product for the clothes type, hang it up to dry for 10-15 minutes and its ready for wear.

What I love the most about Day2 dray spray is that it gets rid of the pesky wrinkles, softens the fabric and freshens it up. A bottle of Day2 is made with only 0.02% of the water in a normal laundry load, this is crazy. I am glad by using Day2 products I am helping to save the planet one spray at a time. For those looking to buy, a 200ml bottle is priced at £7.50 and a 75ml is priced at £4 which is totally worth the price.

    I have never hear of any of these tips before but I really love the idea of trying Day 2 spray. I go to a lot of vintage events and washing them repeatedly cam damage them due to their age, but this could be a perfect solution, without putting 60+ year old clothing in a washing machine repeatedly.

    Ooh dry shampoo to keep your clothes smelling fresh – what a great idea!! I use unstoppables, but I don’t seem to have the success with them that others have. Maybe I’m not using enough

    I’m really bad at remembering to take clothes out the washing machine when they’re done. Sometimes I end up having to wash them again because they’ve started smelling bad.

    I’ve never heard of Day2 but I’ll definitely be looking at buying a spray for denim. This would be fab for when we go away and don’t won’t to do suitcase overload with the jeans.

    These look good. Our house is old and the inbuilt wardrobes can be a little musty in the winter when it is cold, so it would be great for my clothes

    Oo this product sounds really interesting! My husband is always complaining that his clothes spent ‘fusty’, so this would be perfect for him 🙂
