By 1 – Pennies’ Fabric Softener Recipe
This recipe for fabric softener uses only two household staples which are vinegar and baking soda. As most of the people know that when you mix these two items, there is a fizzy reaction.
The Items You Will Need!
You will need the following items to prepare this fabric softener;
- 6 cups of vinegar
- 1 bucket or gallon jug
- Funnel if necessary
Steps to Prepare Pennies’ Fabric Softener
Add 1 cup of baking soda to the vinegar and stir or shake to dissolve the baking soda. Please, make sure that the bucket or jug is big enough to handle the excess volume when the mixture fizzes. It is easiest to mix in a bucket, stir with large spoon or wood paint stirrer and use a funnel to put this mixture in a jug with a lid after the fizzing stops. You are supposed to shake it before using. This is an excellent fabric softener for homes with baby diapers or smelly athletic clothing to wash for the reason that both the ingredients are great odor eliminators.

1 – Herbaceous Fabric Softener Recipe
This recipe of fabric softener is really cool for the reason that you can use your favorite scented herbs to make your fabric softener. I personally love lavender, so I use fresh dried buds and also the essential oil. You can order your oils online or pick them up from your local market.

For the ingredients, you are supposed to have the following things ready;

- Your favorite essential herb
Directions for the Preparation of Herbaceous Fabric Softener
You just simply pour vinegar into a jar and add 10 to 12 drops of your favorite essential oil and then add sprig, or floral buds into the jar as well. If you are using rosemary, heat it first to release more of the oil. If you are using mint, lightly smack the leaf to release its oil before you add it to the vinegar. If you are using floral buds, place them into a sachet and quickly dip or run hot water to release this scent. Once everything is combined, now it is time to add 1/4 cup of your homemade fabric softener during the rinse cycle to soften your laundry. You see how simple it is to prepare a fabric softener at home.
