Fabric Softener
1Bottle of your favorite liquid fabric softener
1Pack kitchen sponges
1)Cut sponges in half
2)Soak up fabric softener
3)Use sponge like you would use fabric sheets, just add to your dryer! You will be able to use your sponge a few times before having to add more fabric softener. This will make your fabric softener last 3 times as long!
Fabric Softener
Our Favorite!
1Bottle Vinegar (white)
Simply add 1/3C vinegar to your wash load, the way you would with fabric softener. Vinegar works great as both a fabric softener and washer cleaner, use regularly to ensure soft clothing and to help maintain your washing machine. This is a fabulous way to save $$$ and to cut back on the amount of chemicals you use in your home. Enjoy!
