    Recipe for Home-Made Fabric Softener
  • A strong plastic container
  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 6 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 8 cups water
  • (Optional) 10-15 drops orange or lemon essential oil (available at health food stores)
First, add the baking soda to the plastic container. Add 1 cup of the water to start with, then SLOWLY add the vinegar to the bottle. The vinegar and baking soda will fizz. Then add the rest of the water. Slowly swirl and cover – you will need to vent the lid a few times.
Use 1 cup in your final rinse cycle for each load.

I know one where you add hair conditioner, which quite makes sense.
And why is this thingy filtering my comments?
