FABRIC SOFTENER

#1

Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup Of Vinegar to rince cycle along with

several drops of your favorite essential oil for fresh scent.

IDEA #2

If you prefer dryer sheets, here is an idea.

Put two cups of you favorite Softener in a Tupperware Pick-a-deli (see picture/it is in refrigeration section at my Tupperware site)

Cut a sponge into 1/4’s and put in container with your softener.

When you are ready to dry a load of wash, pull up the little handle, this brings the sponges

up where you can reach them without getting your fingers all wet, Squeeze out excess softener and toss in

dryer. When you fold laundry and find the little piece of sponge, toss it back in the softener!!
