I have been using just white distilled vinegar as my fabric softener, which worked great but now I wanted more flavor. Just meaning pretty smells. :D
This is way easier then I thought and much cheaper then buying those fabric crystals from the store and I get to add what I want in it and something extra. Extra is what I really wanted. I wanted to add Tea Tree Oil to my softener to give it a anti ingredient to help with our germs. Its only the first day so I guess I have to write back and let you know how it goes.
What will you need:
- Magnesium sulfate, Epsom Salt ( I found my at Walmart for $1.54, or you can get it from the dollar store for a $1) Net Wt. 4 LBS
- 1 Jar or container I went and got mine at Hobby Lobby, I went when glass is 50% off
- Essential oils: Please keep in mind the oils at walmart are Not essential oils their just for candles and things like that. You can find these at a heath store like CVS or Walgreens or online. like amazon. I used
- Tea Tree essential oil (Bought here) Its a link to amazon, I bought a set so it would be cheaper, so you can get also the lavender oil and others for other home made things. (30 Drops)
- Lavender essential oil (40 drops)
- Almond Oil: This is tricky, I brought it from a lady at my farmers market it here in New Bern, NC. But she has an esty account that you can get this from. IT REALLY makes a difference. It smells SO GOOD!!!!!!!! But if she doesnt have it listed all you have to do is email her and she writes you back the same day. She is awesome. SealZiti-Natural soaps and scents (20 Drops)
- Mix it all in a bowl
- Pour it in your jar and use Use 1/2 cup for medium to large loads in the wash cycle at any temperature and 1/4 cup for small loads.
- And your done! Enjoy!!!
This is the almond fragrance oil that I bought from SealZiti
