today i went to coin laundry because it was raining. it had been raining since yesterday morning, and the load of laundry i had done from the night before was mouldering away. i hate to hang things up in my house, i think it's tacky. just me, i'm sure, but i can't help it. so, i spend the money making sure my clothes and towels are truly dry.
since they had spent more than 24 hours in the washing machine, i got a couple of scented bounce dryer sheets to help mask any musty smells. i actually grabbed three or more (oops) and although i only ran them for thirty minutes (i only had 300 yen) they were very dry--and very smelly. a lovely clean smell that reminds me of home.
yoshi doesn't like smells, especially those he calls detergent smells. for the most part i use unscented or lightly scented liquid detergents, and hanging the clothes outside takes away almost any scent added by dreft. and i do have a box of unscented bounce dryer sheets, but i just wanted to make sure the clothes smelled nice for a change.
folding up the clothes in the coin laundry this morning reminded me of taking clothes fresh from the dryer when i was a child. i do miss this smell. but i hope none of yoshi's clothes were in that load.
smells like home

i absolutely LOVE bounce dryer sheets. i hate the smell of my clothes after they hang out in the tokyo air so i too spend the money to get fluffy and smelling-like-home clothes. it's the little things in life. :)
Just discovered your blog in a round about odd way as we always do when we stumble on blogs.
I am enjoying it and wanted to tell you so!
Thanks for doing this.
I *heart* scented dryer sheets! : ) I use them every single day actually, for all our laundry. I have a whole variety too. Regular/traditional Downy, Mountain Fresh Downy (love this), and the scented Bounce. They always give the clothes and sheets just that super very light clean scent. Not overpowering. But just that pinch of something that I really really dig and yes it totally does remind me of home too : )! Also great for cutting static cling too though. : )
