Tips:
- Read this article to make it last even longer.
- Is the cost savings worth it? Maybe. Maybe not. But if you're in a pinch, it's easy to make from items you have at home and takes maybe 5 minutes.
- And you can always claim you're helping the environment.
- If you have a household member that is sensitive to store bought fabric softener, this method will allow you to control the additives.
AWESOME. This is something I'm definitely going to try.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I knew I had heard of doing this before, but hadn't actually tried it. (I do make my own laundry soap, though, and love it) So a quick google brought up this website: http://www.diylife.com/2008/03/06/homemade-dryer-sheet-recipes/ which explains how to similarly make your own "dryer sheets" by dipping a washcloth in your fabric softener solution and drying it with your clothes! I'm so excited to try this now! I even have some conditioner that I don't really like using for hair, so it'll be perfect for fabric softener. Thanks for posting this!
