🧼 Simple Recipe:

  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 cup hair conditioner
  • 3 cups hot water

🥣 Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl or bottle, combine the vinegar and hair conditioner.
  2. Add the hot water slowly while stirring to mix everything well.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a clean, empty bottle (recycled laundry softener bottles work great!).
  4. Shake well before each use.

That’s it! You’ve got a homemade fabric softener ready to go — no mess, no fuss.

🌀 How to Use It in the Washing Machine

  • Add ½ cup of the homemade softener to the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine.
  • For hand-washing, mix a small amount into your final rinse water.
  • Shake the bottle before each use to keep everything blended.

🚫 A Quick Note: Don’t Worry About the Vinegar Smell!

The vinegar smell disappears completely once your clothes are dry — promise! What’s left is softness, freshness, and a subtle scent from the conditioner or essential oils.

💡 Bonus Tip: Use With Dryer Balls for Extra Softness

Pair your DIY fabric softener with wool dryer balls in the dryer for ultra-soft clothes and faster drying time. You can even add a few drops of essential oil to the dryer balls for added fragrance.

👚 Final Thoughts

Making your own fabric softener is one of the easiest swaps for a healthier, more sustainable home. With just two ingredients, you can create a powerful, natural alternative that leaves your clothes soft, fresh, and chemical-free.
