Item Description
Traditional laundry softener may leave your clothes covered in a film, or if you have sensitive skin they may be an irritant for you. Making your own is easy and affordable (if you haven’t noticed the pattern yet!) All you need is vinegar and essential oils.
10 oz white vinegar
3 drops each of Lemon, Lime, and Grapefruit oils
Citrus peels (optional)
✅ Directions:
1. Add citrus peels to a 16 oz glass bottle
2. Fill the bottle halfway with vinegar
3. Add essential oils then top with the rest of the vinegar and shake
4. Let sit a week before use
5. Depending on the size of the load, you can use anywhere from 2 tbsp up to ¼ cup at a time. If you have harder water you may need to use more.
The use depends on the type of washer that you have. If you have a top-loading washer: during the final rinse cycle, manually add the vinegar mixture. If your washer has a fabric softener cup, add the mixture to it and it will dispense at the appropriate time. If your washer does not have one, add the mixture into a fabric softener ball and put it in with your close at the beginning.
👉 ...and no, this does not make your clothes smell like vinegar at all.
