By liliaturcin5

Without a doubt, cleaning products today are quite expensive. But depending on which one we use, not all of them are concentrated and as fragrant as they are sold, however we must say that those made at home achieve optimal effectiveness.

Especially in the case of fabric softeners we can notice this characteristic, which is why today we are going to see an economical, profitable and highly effective recipe.

The truth is that we can make it much more perfumed and concentrated, more precisely it depends on whether we get the floral or fruity soap.

Let’s see the recipe:

It is a simple recipe where the type of soap we choose is key, especially its aroma and that it is of good quality.

Below are all the ingredients that we are going to use and the preparation in detail:

Ingredients

  • 1 scented soap or 2 of 100 gr. each (your choice)
  • 1 liter of boiling water
  • 200 ml. of alcohol vinegar
  • 1 liter of cold water from the refrigerator
  • 20 tbsp. Hair cream (or inexpensive conditioner)
  • 2 liters of water with 3 tbsp. baking soda (previously beaten)
  • 7 liters of water at room temperature
  • 4 liters of cold water
  • 2 liters of purchased Fabric Softener (economical)
  • 50 ml. Ammonia (bought at the pharmacy)

Preparation for homemade fabric softener

  1. First of all, we proceed to grate the fruit or flower soaps, we also add 1 liter of boiling water. With the help of a spoon, we do not stop stirring until the soap is completely melted.
  2. Once it melts completely, we add 1 liter of ice water.
  3. We continue stirring and let it cool, we will observe when it cools that it turns into a mouse.
  4. Now, it is time to divide it into 4 equal parts and blend it well in the blender or mixer.
  5. The way to do it is like this: add 1 part soap and 5 tablespoons of hair cream and blend for 1 minute, then pour it into a container.
  6. Next step, repeat with the second part of the already melted soap and another 5 tablespoons of cream, it is also liquefied for 1 minute and we add it to the container or basin.
  7. We continue with the third part of melted soap and add the 5 tablespoons of hair cream, as well as repeat with the fourth part of the melted soap and another 5 tablespoons of cream. In this way we arrive at 20 tablespoons of hair cream, and all the parts go into the basin.
  8. Next, add 2 liters of water at room temperature with 3 tablespoons of baking soda, which we are going to liquefy first and finally, join the rest of the mixture in the basin.
  9. Stirring everything very well is essential, add the 7 liters of water at room temperature but without stopping stirring constantly.
  10. At this point we already have a beautiful, consistent and fragrant mixture, so it is time to add the 200 ml. of white vinegar.
  11. Continue mixing everything and add the 2 liters of purchased fabric softener, the most economical. We are going to continue stirring it for a few more minutes and add the small bottle of ammonia, about 50 ml. and mixes very well and carefully. It will act as a preservative for the home-made product.
  12. To finish, we add another 3 liters of water and thus it will reach 16 liters.
  13. We continue mixing vigorously and incorporating all the water and let it sit overnight, at this point it will foam a lot due to the baking soda and alcohol vinegar. In any case, the foam will go down when it sits overnight.
  14. By the next day, the mixture will be calm, without foam and with a wonderful, fragrant consistency.
