Make It Yourself Monday: Eco-Friendly Fabric Softener (Part 2)

As a correlating installment to last week's Homemade Dryer Sheets, I found this recipe for homemade liquid fabric softener! It had a few good reviews so I'm going to try it this week!

You can add some essential oil to the mixture for scent. It's available a your local natural or whole foods market or usually at candle shops.


Recipe courtesy Recipezaar.com

Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
6 cups distilled white vinegar
8 cups water
10-15 drops essential oil of choice (optional)

Directions
1) You will need a one gallon container.
2) First add the baking soda to the plastic container.
3) Next add 1 cup of water to start with.
4) Slowly add the vinegar to the bottle as the vinegar and baking soda will start to fizz.
5) Then add the rest of the water swirling around & cover venting the top a few times.
6) Last add the essential oil.
7) Add 1 cup in your final rinse cycle for each load but give the bottle a good shake to stir up the essential oil if using.

Let us know if you try this and what you think!
