Inexpensive Fabric Softener~Use Vinegar



Did you know that you can use vinegar in place of fabric softener? Yip, vinegar. I have to say, the thought of my clothes, towels and such smelling like vinegar scared me away from this idea for quite some time. Then I decided to give it a whirl. Guess what? IT WORKS! Not only is it a much cheaper alternative than commercial fabric softeners, it is also natural and chemical free.  AND it keeps new towels feeling new!

Just add 3/4 of a cup of white vinegar to your rinse cycle. If you have a fabric dispensing ball, that will work as well.

Vinegar will remove soap residue from your laundry, soften your laundry, eliminate static cling and best of all, save you money!

*TIP* Although it isn't needed, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for fragrance.

Try it~If you hate it, just don't do it again :)
