Life hack: homemade fabric softener

Here is a cost effective and creative way to turn general household products into quality liquid fabric softener. Even the cheaper versions of the ingredients will produce the same result as a regular store bought fabric softener!

Try it for yourself by following these instructions:

Ingredients:

5 cups of hot water

3 cups of vinegar

1 cup of hair conditioner (hint: you can vary the smell of the fabric softener by using different hair conditioners)

1 container (to store the mix)

Directions:

• Mix the hair conditioner and the hot water together in a bowl (the hot water will help to smooth the lumps of the conditioner)
• Add the vinegar into the mixture
• Pour the mix into a container of your choice.
• Add the normal volume of fabric softer to your wash load.
