A few months ago, I shared my recipe for a salt fabric softener and scent booster.
I’ve experimented with both solutions over the years, and I’ve experienced good success with both options. No biggie! But the moment our towels started feeling like cardboard versus the divine fluffiness of cotton, I started to seek out natural solutions to complement my homemade laundry soap and dryer balls.Īfter some research, I discovered two simple, inexpensive, and completely natural fabric softener solutions: salt (a dry solution) and vinegar (a liquid solution). Really, I can live with stiff jeans, shirts, and socks. The mineral deposits (which I’ve read are a blend of calcium and magnesium) from the hard water equaled stiff fabrics and spotty dishes. When we moved into our new home a few years ago, I quickly came to realize the importance of a good dishwasher soap and fabric softener. The home we lived in during our first few years of marriage had a water softener, which meant the dishes never came out with spots and the laundry was always perfectly soft. But as I’m reminded over and over again on this natural journey, simple solutions and recipes are usually the ones that are most often overlooked, and usually the ones that are most worthy of being shared.Įven before we made the switch to natural cleaners and beauty products, I never really understood the need for fabric softener. In fact, the liquid recipe/solution is so simple that I haven’t blogged about it, because it almost seems too simple to share. It would seem as though we’ve chatted about every laundry problem and solution possible, but there is still one question I’m regularly asked, “Do you have a recipe for a liquid fabric softener? Does a natural liquid fabric softener even exist?”įriend, it’s time we revisit the topic of laundry and tackle this question, because the answer is a big YES! Yes, a natural liquid fabric softener does exist.
Nothing can stand in our way when it comes to naturally and effortlessly taking on the dirty jeans and stubborn stains. Basically, when it comes to doing the laundry, we’re Laundry Ninjas. We’ve also tackled the huge task of switching from less-than-desirable laundry products, to laundry products we can feel good about using around our family: homemade laundry soap, dryer balls (dryer sheet alternative), homemade bleach, salt laundry softener and scent booster, and even a powerful stain remover. Together, we’ve simplified laundry with a colorful towel trick, and developed a practical laundry routine to end the massive mountains of laundry. No matter who you are, where you live, or how many children you have or don’t have, we all share one common life activity: laundry!
