When it comes to smart packing tricks, slipping a few dryer sheets into your suitcase is an easy way to keep your clothes smelling fresh throughout your travels. Whether you’re heading off for a weekend break or embarking on a longer adventure, your clothes can absorb unwanted odours from transit, humidity, or the suitcase itself. A couple of dryer sheets tucked among your belongings help maintain a pleasant scent without the need for bulky sprays or liquid fragrances.
They’re especially useful on multi-stop holidays where clean clothes may share space with worn ones. Pop one inside each shoe, between layers of clothing or in your backpack’s side pockets to fend off musty smells. They’re lightweight, inexpensive, and can even help reduce static cling. If you prefer a more eco-conscious option, consider natural or reusable dryer sheets infused with essential oils—many are available online and come fragrance-free for sensitive skin.
You can find dryer sheets at most retailers. They are a simple and practical addition to your travel kit.
