Simple and Natural Fabric Softener

Introduction: With just one ingredient, this recipe couldn't be easier...

Ingredient:

• Vinegar

In the kitchen, I love salads and recipes that include vinegar, especially natural infused vinegars. On its own, however, the harsh fragrance of vinegar is definitely not an aroma that I deliberately seek out. Despite its abrasive smell, vinegar is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-viral. It is affordable and does soften clothes well when added to the rinse cycle. Vinegar also helps to eliminate soap residue build-up on clothing.

Directions: In place of commercial fabric softener, add 1/2 cup of vinegar to laundry during the rinse cycle.

Precautions:

• Avoid balsamic and other dark vinegars as they may stain clothes.
• A lingering vinegar aroma may be left on your clothes. To minimize or eliminate the aroma, try the fragrant, essential oil Dryer Sheet Recipe.
