Onto laundry yet again, it is an endless cycle and I sure wish my checkbook would refill just as quickly as the laundry basket does.. however the cute outfit I wanted to wear today is in the laundry.
I'm not a huge fan of fabric softener and pretty much avoid using it, but some days I just want to smell like a bouquet of flowers when I put my clothes on. I guess I could use perfume which is another subject on its own.. another time.
This recipe is simple and basic. Thank you to http://everydayroots.com/homemade-fabric-softener I used what I had in my laundry room. I used the NOW orange essential oil and wanted to add cinnamon and clove but then realized I didn't want to walk around smelling like I had a car air freshener hanging around my neck. Everyday Roots recipe uses 2 cups of epsom salt, 1/2 cup of baking soda and 30-60 drops of essential oils. Tada!! You have to read their blog explaining how baking soda brightens the clothes and neutralizes the acid in stains. Yes!! No more dingy laundry!!
