The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful...but what they don't mention is the static that is in the air during the holiday festivities! There is a simple answer to static problems. Though, it might not help with your static hair, this recipe will help your clothes stay static free and soft on top of it all! I honestly don't see the point in buying fabric softener or dryer sheets when I already have everything in my house to make my own fabric softener. Therefore, here is a recipe that I found online for fabric softener.
 |
| Ingredients: Water, White Vinegar, Baking Soda, and Essential Oil |
 |
| In a pot pour in 1 cup of baking soda |
 |
| Add 6 cups of vinegar...make sure to stir in between eat cup because it will fizz up. |
|
 |
| Stir it all together... |
|
 |
| Combine 8 cups of water to the mixture... |
|
 |
| 15 drops of essential oil...I used Lavender oil... |
|
 |
| Mix it altogether, then pour the mixture into a gallon sized container...I use glass because it keeps things better than plastic usually does. |
|
 |
Voila!!! Use 1 cup of softener with each washer load...
This fabric softener keeps clothes from being static and there is no need for dryer sheets! I also have a friend that said that she uses plain baking soda or vinegar instead of adding it all together like I just showed you. Either way, it is a cheaper alternative to buying name brand softeners that do the exact same thing to your laundry.
