Easy DIY fabric softener-in-a-jar, low cost, biodegradable and it will leave your laundry smelling fresh and feeling soft.

You’ll need:

  • 2 cups of Epsom salts
  • 20-30 drops of your favourite essential oil (Lavender or Eucalyptus Oils are both great in the laundry)
  • 1/2 cup baking soda

Directions:

  • Mix together the Epsom salts and essential oil first, then add the baking soda. Mix well until all combined and pour into a suitable container.
  • Label the jar correctly, and store in a safe place. (Remember little people are so inquisitive!) Use 2-3 tablespoons each load, during the rinse cycle.

Alternatively you could use 1/2 cup of white vinegar and a few drops of your favourite essential oil.
