For a family of 5, you can imagine how much of laundry detergent we go through. We have a energy efficient washer so that does help a little. But we are always looking for a way to save money, especially now a days. Things are not cheap. We spend approximately, $9.00 on Fabric softener a little less than 1 month.

For a bottle of vinegar it’s $3.00 and Suave Conditioner it is $1.00. I will also mention 3 of us in this house have sensitive skin. We are saving a little money. Our homemade fabric softener doesn’t have the added chemicals in it either. So that’s a win!
Supplies needed:
2 cups of water
1 cup of distilled vinegar
A little more than ½ cup of conditioner
Jar with lid – https://amzn.to/3pmrwO8
Paper towels (in case of spill)
Spoon or something to stir
Measuring cup – https://amzn.to/3rdoLPB
Optional supplies:
Essential oils (optional)
Labels & pen – https://amzn.to/3CTpFU3
In your jar, put 2 cups of water, than 1 cup of vinegar. Mix. Then add your conditioner. I planned on adding essential oils melon scented but after I added the conditioner it smelled like Downey. So you can add in a few drops of essential oils at this point or skip it. Stir well.
I put a label on my jar and marked it as fabric softener. That’s it! Stay tuned next week for a DIY on Laundry Scent booster!
