How do I keep the sheets in my guest bed smelling fresh?

Fresh Smelling Guest Beds

Guest beds that are not often used can end up smelling musty. If you like to keep your guest beds made up, keep the sheets smelling fresh by placing a fabric softener sheet under the blanket or bedspread until the bed is needed. When you do your periodic mattress cleaning, exchange the old sheet for a fresh one.

Many people cannot physically tolerate fabric softener sheets. Although I don't like musty smells, I would find the smell and chemicals in fabric softener sheets MUCH more difficult to tolerate.
