Homemade Fabric Softener

One more homemade everyday item I've adopted to save some money and some chemicals: fabric softener!
We do a LOT of laundry with three small ones...
I found this "recipe" online and also "pinned" it because I loved it.

A couple of notes:

  • Halving the recipe fits exactly into a standard fabric softener bottle (Snuggle):
    1 1/2 C white vinegar
    1 C conditioner
    fill with HOT water
  • To eliminate some measuring I added the vinegar first, then the conditioner, and filled up the bottle (slowly it may bubble) with the hot water
  • Use any kind of conditioner you have on-hand. If you have Aveda, you will have fancy expensive clothes. If you have Suave, it will only look as if you spent a fortune on them. 
I haven't tried this mix on a washcloth in the dryer yet, but I think we will soon to eliminate the waxy sheets...

  1. LOL about the Aveda comment. I have a huge bottle of non-Aveda conditioner I could use for this -- thanks!

  2. I thought you'd love the Aveda comment! I used some conditioner I got in a pinch at TJs because I hated it, worked great! I used some Frutis stuff I also had, awesome... So my takeaway was to use something inexpensive that you like the scent of, if you want scent!
