Homemade Laundry Scent Booster

I like to make cleaning mixtures. Do you? My youngest daughter especially likes those scented laundry boosters that you add to the wash. I kept one of the empty Downy un stopables bottles washed, dried and decided to make my own laundry scent booster.
You need Epsom Salt, Watkin Extracts/Flavorings, or essential oils. You can also use a combination of both extracts and essential oils.
You use the amount of Epsom Salt you want then simply add the oils/flavorings to make your mixture smell as strong or weak as you like. Mix together in a bowl with a butter knife or whisk. Mix well and add scents to your liking.
These little bottles can be found at Walmart. I like that they had so many wonderful extracts. I love to cook so these were used for cooking as well as cleaning mixtures. My mother always loved the Watkins.
I used a combination of the food grade essential oils and Watkins Extracts as well. It smelled good enough to eat but please don't. (Epsom Salt can be a laxative and you wouldn't want that now anyway.)
The first recipe I made was with orange, butter and vanilla. It smelled so delicious and made the laundry smell so wonderful. Mix enough oils into salt to get the scent you desire!
