After looking at a few recipes online, I scaled them down and basically made my own. It took less then five minutes, and so far I love it!
Refreshing Fabric Softener
2 cups hot water
1/2 cup vinegar
2/3 cup conditioner of your choice, I used Suave as it's about $1.50 or so a bottle
Pour ingredients into a bottle or container. I used an old juice jug I had set aside.
Stir to mix.
And that's it. So easy. ^_^
Cost breakdown:
conditioner: $0.75
vinegar: $0.25
total: $1.00
I'm not sure how many loads I will get from this, but my machine takes about 1/4 cup or less for a load. That breaks it down to 16 loads per batch, for a total of $0.06 per load.
Compared to a bottle of Downy, that is a savings of roughly $6.00 a bottle! I like it. I like it a lot. ; )
This looks great!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, since I don't have a washer and dryer in my apartment, I usually just use dryer sheets for fabric softener rather than sit down by the washer to wait for the rinse cycle to add the softener.
I'll have to keep this idea for the future, though! It looks so nice!
