All Natural Laundry Tips!

Over the past few years, I’ve taken baby steps to having a more natural, eco-friendly home. The biggest (and most worthwhile) change has been updating our cleaning supplies by using mostly natural items like baking soda and vinegar. Why pay top dollar for toxic chemicals when natural solutions work so well?!
Today I’m sharing my three biggest tips to overhaul your laundry routine and make it more eco-friendly AND way cheaper, without sacrificing clean clothing!
Tip #1: How to get brighter whites and soften clothes– without bleach! Tip #2: How to get rid of smelly towels– naturally! Tip #3: The ‘magic’ way to soften clothes and get rid of static in the dryer– without dryer sheets!
#1: Vinegar– yes, vinegar!– gets your whites brighter and softens your clothing without the need for harsh chemicals like bleach. I add it to the fabric softener cup in the washing machine, and it releases it during the soaking cycle.
#2: To get rid of that "smelly towel" smell, load up the washing machine with your towels and sprinkle them with baking soda. I then add vinegar to the fabric softener area in my washer to give it a second blast of natural cleaning.
#3: These Woolzies Dryer Balls are made with wool. They soften clothing and help keep static away without wasting dryer sheets! All natural, much cheaper than buying pack after pack of dryer sheets, and eco-friendly. Win-win!
What do you think? Do any of those tips sound do-able in your family? Give ‘em a try and let me know how it goes! Any other natural laundry or cleaning tips to share? Do tell!
