Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 1 cup Baking soda
- 6 cups Water
- 10 drops Essential oil (optional, for fragrance)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or container, slowly pour the white vinegar over the baking soda to initiate a reaction. The mixture will bubble and fizz.
Once the fizzing subsides, gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
If you prefer a scented fabric softener, add 10 drops of your favorite essential oil to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to distribute the fragrance evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a clean and dry container, such as a large glass jar or plastic bottle, for storage.
To use: Shake the container well before each use. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the fabric softener to the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine during the rinse cycle.
