I love fresh sheets! Who wouldn't right? Those sweet scent of fabric conditioner, and soft, smooth silky feel of it makes me wanna crawl back to bed whenever I'm changing my sheets! I've been a fan of these kinds of spray ever since I was able to have my own place. I change my sheets every 2 weeks and honestly the scent of my fabric conditioner doesn't last that long. So what's the best way to freshen up our bed, sofa and curtains in a flash? The best solution I've got is linen sprays! It's like your linen's cologne.
