Oops, they didn&#8217;t quite get dry. I didn&#8217;t want to rewash them, so I put about three drops of lemongrass essential oil on a cloth to give them some zing and turned the lazy dryer back on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/files/2008/04/lavendar.JPG" title="lavendar.JPG"><img src="http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/files/2008/04/lavendar.JPG" alt="lavendar.JPG" align="left" /></a>It worked. The towels smelled fresh and lemongrassy, but not overwhelming at all. The fun thing about this little tip I&#8217;ve read about in many places is that you can pick your own fragrance. You don&#8217;t have to go with Lavendar Artificial Breeze or After-Rain Too-Perfumey Surprise. After all, <a href="http://www.grist.org/advice/ask/2006/10/18/dryer-sheets"> dryer sheets can be toxic</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>If you dry your clothes in the dryer and want a little fragrance, add a few drops of essential oil on a cloth instead of  using a dryer sheet. It&#8217;s cheaper, healthier and much less wasteful.</strong></p>
<p>Of course, drying your clothes on a clothesline with Mother Earth to give them a nice Natural Breeze fragrance is best. I can&#8217;t really do that in my apartment, but I have been considering an <a href="http://www.comforthouse.com/in2.html">indoor clothesline</a>. That would surely drive kitty Choco, with his severe love of string,  a bit crazy.</p>
