Cooler weather means cozy sweaters, thicker fabrics, and more layers — and if we’re being honest, a few extra loads of laundry. But fall and winter laundry isn’t just “more of the same.” These seasons call for a little extra care (and smarter habits) to keep everything soft, fresh, and free of that damp, musty smell that loves to linger.
Here’s how to keep your cold-weather wardrobe feeling and smelling brand new — without the heavy detergents or endless cycles.
Treat Sweaters Like the Delicate Royalty They Are
Sweaters stretch and shed easily — especially when they’re tossed around like towels.
Turn them inside out, use cold water, and opt for a gentle detergent (hi, Roobi sheets 👋). They’re plant-based and pre-measured, so you never overdo it.
Skip the dryer if you can — heat ruins fibers and elasticity. Instead, lay sweaters flat on a towel and let them air dry. Your knitwear (and future self) will thank you.
Banish the Musty Smell Before It Starts
Cold air + indoor heating = humidity traps. That’s how closets start smelling like they’ve been closed since last winter. To avoid it:
-Don’t let damp laundry sit — ever.
-Wash gym clothes and socks immediately after use.
-Use Roobi Scent Boosters to add a clean, long-lasting aroma that actually lasts beyond the first wear.
Think of scent boosters as your seasonal freshness insurance. Bonus: they’re plant-based, so no headache-inducing fake “mountain breeze.”
Wash Less, Air Out More
Not everything needs a full wash every time you wear it. Outerwear, jeans, and sweaters can often be freshened up instead of rewashed. Hang them near an open window or use a fabric refresher spray.
When you do wash, use Roobi Laundry Sheets — they dissolve in hot or cold water, work for any fabric type, and won’t leave behind residue that traps odors.
Mind the Layers (and Static)
More layers mean more friction — and more static. Use the lowest heat setting on your dryer, or skip it entirely when possible. If you love that warm-out-of-the-dryer feeling, toss in a wool dryer ball instead of chemical sheets.
Pro tip: Static often means over-drying. Remove clothes while still slightly damp and let them finish air-drying — they’ll last longer and feel softer.
Prep for Winter Storage the Right Way
If you’re putting away summer clothes or packing up seasonal gear:
-Wash everything first — even if it looks clean. Body oils attract moths and odors.
-Use unscented laundry sheets for sensitive fabrics or baby clothes.
-Store clothes in breathable cotton bags, not plastic.
And if your stored clothes smell a little “attic-y” when you take them out? One sheet, one scent booster, and one quick cycle with Roobi, and they’re back to life.
Your Cozy-Season Laundry Reset
Fall and winter laundry doesn’t have to mean bulky jugs, chemical scents, or wasted space. With Roobi’s eco-friendly laundry sheets and plant-based scent boosters, your clothes stay fresh, soft, and clean — season after season.
It’s the small switch that makes a big (and good-smelling) difference.
