Create your own natural and effective laundry softener with this simple recipe.
Pour the distilled water into the 1-gallon container.
Using distilled water helps prevent mineral buildup in your softener.
Add the white vinegar to the container.
Vinegar acts as a natural fabric softener and helps remove detergent residue.
Mix in the unscented hair conditioner.
Choose a conditioner with a scent you enjoy for a pleasant laundry experience.
Add the lavender essential oil drops to the mixture.
Essential oils add a natural fragrance to your laundry.
Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients.
Avoid shaking the container to prevent foaming.
Use the softener by adding it to your washing machine's rinse cycle or spritzing it onto a washcloth and placing it in the dryer.
Use approximately the same amount as you would with a commercial softener.
