So I'm a creative director at a digital ad agency, and one of the perks of my job is that sometimes I get to try my clients' new products early. One of the accounts I'm on is Bounce.

Not sure if you've heard of this new dryer bar, but I was given the Bounce Dryer Bar Outdoor Fresh for free, so we'd know about it for our work. And I was recently asked if I'd be willing to share my experience.

OK, so yes, it looks kind of like a maxi pad (sorry clients!). It's true though. But I'm OK with it, because it stays in my dryer anyway. What I like about it is the very fact that it's out of sight, out of mind.

Laundry (and everything that goes along with it, i.e. ironing) is hands down my least favorite chore. Here are some laundry links I love:

I grew up in the country, and one of the many things I miss is my mom's clothes line. There's nothing like the feeling of crawling into a just-made bed of sheets dried with fresh air and sunshine.

I can still remember the smell, the feeling of drifting off to sleep on a breeze.

I don't have the room for a line now, and I must admit, the dryer is a godsend in toddlerhood.

Because it is a little extra work to hang out clothes on a line, mee2007 came up with an incentive program to get her back in the hanging mood this summer.

The other day I caught myself sniffing my cousin's T-shirt. I buried my nose in the soft pink cotton and breathed the fresh scent in deeply. But um, oops, WHILE she was wearing it! Some smells are just too good to resist...

When it comes to clean clothes, what scents are you drawn to most? Take our poll.
