All-natural homemade fabric softener. Very effective, more so than industrial ones.

There is nothing more beautiful than scented clothes that give us a wonderful feeling of cleanliness and freshness, and if we could also have an ecological product, without chemicals, it would be even better.  Fabric softener  is undoubtedly one of the detergents we use most in our homes and few people know that it takes very little to make it.

And as I said in a previous article: by using solid shampoo, 552 million fewer plastic bottles would be produced… If each one of us paid attention, even with a little recycling and some simple precautions, the results would be great.

All-natural homemade fabric softener. Very effective, more so than industrial ones.

There are many brands in stores with various fragrances, but they contain chemicals that  are harmful  to our skin, so let’s see how we can make our own  ecological fabric softener  .

Ingredients:

100 g of  baking soda  ,
200 ml of hot water,
800 ml of apple cider vinegar;
A few drops  of essential oil  of our favorite fragrance

How to prepare it naturally

Take a 3 liter plastic bottle (obviously recycled), pour  the water  and  baking soda into it  and shake vigorously, then slowly add   the apple cider vinegar  , to prevent it from foaming too much. After slowly pouring the vinegar, mix all the ingredients well. Let it sit for a few minutes and then add  20 drops of essential oil  , I love vanilla oil, close and shake again.

At this point our fabric softener is ready, all we have to do is use it.

For each wash, pour 4 tablespoons into the appropriate bucket.

We hope our suggestion helps you and we’ll see you in the next article about recycling and DIY. Thanks for following us and see you next time!
