How To Make Your Own Fabric Softener
Making the fabric softener is actually really easy. When choosing your hair conditioner, get the cheapest and most basic one you can. There are often large containers of conditioner available at dollar stores or discount wholesalers, these are perfect for this recipes.
The first step is to dissolve the conditioner in the hot water, mix the two together in a large bowl and stir until the conditioner is dissolved entirely, do this step with a spoon or whisk and stir it slowly to avoid foaming the mixture. Now add the vinegar and again stir or mix with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and consistent, the mixture should still be quite thick and have the consistency of fabric softener. If it is too thick then add a bit more hot water, if it is too thin, add a bit more conditioner.
Your homemade fabric softener is now complete, just use two tablespoons in your washing machine softener tray for a large load and one tablespoon for a smaller load.
The fabric fragrance comes from the conditioner so try out a range of different fragrances and types of conditioners to find one you like.
