What do they use in Bali to make the clothes smell so good?

The sweet aroma is so enchanting that everyone wants to know what it is.

Some people swear on their life that the scent you smell is the Kispray ironing aid.

What is Kispray used for? 

Kispray is a Balinese laundry product used to smoothe, soften and freshen your clothes, like a “Wrinkle Relaxer”!

Could it be?

Let’s find out. 

KISPRAY ingredients

Kispray is a laundry spray used as an ironing aid. 

One of the main Kispray ingredients is an antiseptic called alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride. It’s added to help kill germs on fabrics and clothing. 

Kispray Pink? or Kispray Gold? 

Kispray comes in four lasting fragrance scents:

• Amoris (powdery floral scent)
• Bluis (a springtime refreshing scent)
• Violet (a sweet floral scent)
• Segeris (which smells like jasmine)
• plus, the super-fancy Kispray Gold.

You can buy Kispray fabric conditioner in a spray bottle for about one dollar AUD.

Or stock up on Kispray sachet packs you can pop in your suitcase to keep you in supply for months to come.

(Just add water).

Kispray vs Rapika

For those addicted to the fresh Bali smell, there’s also other Bali laundry products you can try too.

Some Bali regulars swear the smell is not Kispray at all, and say it’s either the Rapika ironing spray in the pink bottle with the fragrance ‘Sweet Pink’.

Rapika is an alternative to Kispray that can be used as a deodoriser on soft furnishings such as:

• lounge suites
• bedding
• clothing
• curtains, and
• as a room spray if you are so inclined.

Bali Washing Powder and Fabric Softener for Laundry in Bali

Yet others claim the Bali laundry smell is because they use the Molto Trika blue fabric softener in Floral Bliss.

This ironing aid is very popular in Bali laundries in Kuta and Legian. 

The Molto Trika Pink fabric softener smells similar too.

If you do use Molto, add a small amount of this fabric softener to the final soak of your washing cycle.

You can also try the:

• Molto all-in-one pink washing liquid or
• the Molto blue washing liquid too. 

Molto is available in single use sachets or 300ml soft packs.  

Hot tip:

• Pelembut means “softener” in Indonesian. 
• Washing powder is “deterjen” or “sabun serbuk”

How to use Kispray Laundry Liquid

There’s plenty of uses for Kispray.

How to use Kispray sachet liquid: 

• spray a watered down version onto furniture, carpets, and curtains to bring the scent into your home everyday
• spray onto a cloth and wipe down the seats, upholstery, and interior of your car
• use a small amount in your floor mopping water – use clean towels to dry your floor to prevent slips
• empty a sachet into the softener container inside your washing machine for an extra smelly boost of Kispray scent
• you can also spray a diluted solution of it on the washing just after you hang it on the line, and let it fragrance set in.
