Homemade Fabric Softener

One of my newest muses is making my own "stuff" like the laundry detergent here in mt blog. Well, fabric softener seems to be the next best item for you DIY-ers. 


Why should you make this when you can just buy it off the shelf?? The nasty ingredients in most conventional products is number one. These include carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and Tallow. What the hell is Tallow? Brace yourself : Its a derivative of rendered fat from cattle, sheep and horses. Enough said for me! 



Homemade Fabric Softener

Ingredients:
6 cups water
3 cups white vinegar
2 cups Suave Rosemary Mint Conditioner or another more natural brand such as Jason. 



Mix all ingredients together gently and store in a clean empty gallon jug. You only need to use the same amount you would usually use in your rinse cycle. For in the dryer; spray some on a washcloth or dishtowel.

Now, this isn't a 100% chemical free option but it sure does cut back on those toxic chemicals.
