5 Homemade DIY Natural Fabric Softeners | Apartment Therapy Re-Nest
Been noticing a significant improvement in the sensitive skin department (due to pregnancy hormones) after not only switching out my face-wash and body wash to sensitive only - but also switching our laundry detergent to a dye and fragrance free (so painful - I love my lavender scented stuff) version. Now looking to replace our fabric softener too. Either going the free and clear route from the store or these DIY ideas.

hey girl- i've been making my own 'free and clear' laundry soap- biodegradable too! you can even add lavender essential oil if it doesn't bother you- it's made with borax, ivory (or any kind) soap, and washing soda.... just google it and you'll find lots of recipes- it only cost about 3 cents a load too!!! :)
(you probably already know all about this- sorry :)

I've thought about making my own - but been a little daunted by it - afraid I will mix up a bad batch and ruin my washer or something. :) Will it work with HE washers too? Let me know!

kellie: thelemondime said...

well, it's super easy- and you can't really ruin your washer with such mild ingredients :) and YES it does work for HE washers, 'cause there is little to no suds. i had to get over that part 'cause it seemed weird to see no bubbles, but it works great! I can mix up a batch in about 10 minutes! i'll send you a link on FB with the recipe i use- :) oh and it's PERFECT for baby wash since it's soooo free and gentle- don't waste your money on dreft or tide!

Sending a box your way this weekend. Just a lil something for baby Q. :)

Would you believe I've never had an Orange Julius? I was the timid kid in the mall who was afraid to approach cashiers.

TMC - Yay! Can't wait to get it! :) Can't believe that little baby Q will be here soon either - goodness where did time go??

Orange Juliuses are fabulous! If anything - at least try this recipe at home! :) I am making one tonight!
