Laundry Essentials: DIY Natural Alternative to Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets

Posted by dōTERRA

Advertisers would have you believe that each dryer sheet or bottle of fabric softener you purchase will lead to such pleasant experiences as frolicking through a field of flowers with a cuddly teddy bear, or falling blissfully backwards onto a soft (and surprisingly springy) pile of blankets. If only the dream world of advertising did not conflict with the sober realities of ordinary life. Sigh.

Choosing the right fats and oils in your food preparation has a dramatic impact on your health. There is much information and misinformation on what constitutes healthy fats. This Guide to Fats and Oils chart simplifies the best choices of fats for cooking, fats that should not be heated, and which to avoid altogether.

Homemade Fabric Softener Crystals Recipe! Two Simple Ingredients

Homemade Fabric Softener Crystals Recipe

{2 Simple Ingredients!}

Did you know you can make your own Homemade Fabric Softener Crystals like the ones Purex makes? All you need is 2 ingredients too – Epsom salts and your favorite essential oils.

 

If you have ever used those fabric softener crystals in the store you will know one little container of these will cost you upwards of $5.00-$6.00 depending on the size. My own homemade laundry recipe costs around $20 for a year of detergent and one of the ingredients I use is the Purex crytals.  The Purex Crystals in the recipe is the most expensive ingredient, so I attempted to make my own fabric softener crystals recipe to save money. And I was able to save $4.12 off the recipe.
