Homemade Dryer Sheets and Fabric Softener

Simple Life Mom
by Simple Life Mom
Many people will find that when you make your own laundry soap, there’s little need for a fabric softener.
For those who would still like to use some type of fabric softener, there are ways to make your own instead of spending money on products with tons of harsh, dangerous chemicals. Here are some options.
Option 1 – Vinegar


Add 1/2 cup of vinegar during the rinse cycle. This will help the soap to fully rinse from the cloth. If you are already using a washing soda/borax laundry soap, then this is your best option, since the recipe below would be redundant.
IMPORTANT: Never use vinegar with bleach. It creates a very poisonous gas.
