OP, you seem loving and protective of your wife. As someone who never benefited from a spouse's concern, I find this particularly endearing.

As for the garbage disposal, that's NBD. Like, at all. She found some new thing to look out for and extended this knowledge to you guys. Not intrusive. NBD.

The laundry business is a step too far, however. Bringing by a bag of baking soda or lavender dryer sheets would have made the point. It's not like you guys are unaware of the situation. Sniffing clothes to monitor the effect of delaying the laundry process? Boundary-pushing, for sure. I think it's very sweet that you are bothered by the intrusion on DW. Again, it's part of that protective spirit I see in your post.

If their relationship is such that 1. MIL can speak openly about the intrusion, and 2. DW isn't at all bothered by the act or accompanying comments, I think you need to de-escalate your thinking here. Sure, a conversation needs to take place where you guys lay down the rules regarding what is and what is not appropriate (e.g. stay out of the bedroom). But, locking down your home isn't necessary, in my opinion.
