Homemade fabric softener
Okay, I was VERY skeptical, but after 3 loads I think this stuff really works! I found the recipe on Pinterest and made a batch this morning. My youngest son has a lot of poly and polar fleece, which are the worst for static cling. His load came out almost perfect, only 1 item stuck to the fleece! The rest of the laundry has been perfect, and it smells lovely!
I'm a believer. I don't know that I'll ever go back to dryer sheets.

p.s. I used Suave Rosemary & Mint.

I started making my own laundry soap and fabric softener about a month ago. I have been completely satisfied with both! and have figured the cost per load........big savings and I like knowing more about what is going into the products...

Looks interesting, I might just try this. I can get suave conditioner on sale for 99 cents. I buy vinegar in gallon jugs at Sam's club 2 for $3.58.
Vinegar is good for so many things besides cooking with, thats why I buy such large quantities

I use liquid fabric softener but per load, use much less than recommended, as it's very concentrated. A large bottle lasts me a very long time. Even though it costs more per ounce, I wonder how much it actually costs, per load (when used only "as needed" instead of the recommended amount). I'll have to measure out exactly how much I usually use, then run the numbers . . . before I'm convinced.
