I have a way to make my sheets smell like they were dried outside on a clothes line. I love crisp fresh smelling linen.

Staying away from sugar and drinking lots of water makes me feel cleaner.  
Also, brand new socks.

While a shower and shampoo on a non-humid day (Floridian here) or in effective air conditioning is a total joy, I weirdly feel the cleanest after spending time in the pool. Not swimming laps, but just goofing around, floating, moving slowly underwater. Maybe it’s the smell, but that’s when I feel cleanest.

The first wearing of new clothes.

The first hair wash after a haircut.
