Homemade Fabric Softener

You will need:

2 C hair conditioner

3 C vinegar

6 C water

container

Add 3 C vinegar


Add 2 C hair conditioner (find the cheapest--I paid a little over $1 for 2 C)

Add 6 C water

Mix/shake, then pour into a container with a lid.

Use the same amount you would use for regular fabric softener.

vinegar: $0.52

conditioner: $1.12
Total cost: $1.62 for 2/3 gallon, which will last for 44 loads

At the store you'll pay about $3.45 for 44 dryer sheets or $7.13 for 44 loads of Downy. That's a savings of at least 50%

Tips:

• Lower the cost even more. Soak a sponge in the fabric softener. Squeeze out most of the excess. Throw it into the dryer with your load instead.
