Thanks to that service trip I mentioned, I nearly emptied my bottle of fabric softener washing the charming items coated with the debris of working with the school in Guatemala - hand prints of paint and unknown stickiness, dirt, cement, bits of trash. As I got sick, I knew I had one or two more loads but not enough fabric softener. Not wanting crispy jeans, I took to the web. Several pages had recipes for fabric softener that were basic, but I didn't even want to take the effort to mix two or three items.
Then I stumbled across suggestions on several sites to just use vinegar. Plain old, distilled white vinegar. Doing a search to see how to use it I was amazed, the answer made my day!
Use it as you would your fabric softener on any other given day.
I filled my fabric softener ball up to the line, closed it, tossed it in the washer and promptly forgot about my wash for a few hours (the norm for me). After drying it, it was soft with no smell of vinegar.
It meets the requirements of being far more eco-friendly and way more economically friendly too!
Success, this gets a gold star! I'd love to hear what you think.
