Turn doing the laundry and ironing into a blissful treat with our editors’ favorite new laundry products.
Just like those oh-so-elegant French country laundry baskets, this natural linen basket ($60) from Comptoir de Famille (www1.comptoirdefamille.net) is outfitted with its own fabric liner. Filling our basket is a variety of laundry products that deposit perfume-like fragrance to sheets and clothing.
From top, left: With its musky mélange of citrus, yang, and sandalwood, ironing water ($14) from The Laundress (www.thelaundress.com) is good enough for the guys. Housed in a wallpaper-like decorative container, Luxury Laundry Liquid ($26) from House, Inc., combines jasmine, hyacinth, and green tea scents. We admit it: We’ve been known to use Caldrea’s Rose Pink Peppercorn linen spray ($12) in place of perfume. Also from Caldrea: Stain-fighting Sweet Pea Laundry Detergent ($16) for infants blends gentle yet effective plant-derived cleaners and essential oils like geranium, orange, coriander, and bergamot. (www.caldrea.com). Toss dried-lavender laundry sachets ($$$) from Stonewall Kitchen (www.stonewallkitchen.com) into the dryer. When tumbled with one editor’s sheets, the fresh fragrance lingered for days in her bedroom. For more bedtime bliss, especially in summer, wave Linen Dusting Powder in Sweet Rain ($18) from House, Inc. across sheets and pillowcases.
