DIY Fabric Softener Recipe
This DIY fabric softener is by far one of the easiest DIY projects you'll make. Save an old fabric softener or detergent bottle to make the measuring easier.
Ingredients
- ½ gallon Cleaning Vinegar, 20-30% acid (find it here)
- ½ gallon distilled or filtered water (find the best water filtration systems here)
- ¼ cup 91% rubbing alcohol or grain alcohol
- 50 drops of essential oil (find pure, organic essential oils here)
- optional, 2 Tablespoons Polysorbate 80 (find it here)
Instructions
- Pour vinegar into a gallon container (like and old vinegar bottle).
- Now add the alcohol and mix well.
- Next, add the essential oil and mix well.
- Add the optional Polysorbate 80 and mix well.
- Top off the gallon container with water and mix well.
When it's thoroughly mixed, you should not see oils floating on the top. Use as you would any other fabric softener, at about ¼ to ½ cup per load.
Enjoy your DIY fabric softener!
Notes
If omitting the Polysorbate 80, be sure to shake fabric softener well before each use.
