Things Needed
  • Baking soda
  • Distilled White Vinegar
  • Water
  • Essential Oil (optional)
  • Large Bucket/ Container
Instructions
  • First of all, you need to get a large bucket or container, which is enough to hold atleast one gallon of fluid.
  • Put 1 cup baking soda in your bucket or container. Thereafter, add 1 cup of water to it.
  • Next, you need to pour in 6 cups of distilled white vinegar. Pour the vinegar very slowly, on the soda-water mixture.
  • You will notice fizz forming in the bucket/ container, because of vinegar reacting with baking soda.
  • Let the mixture fizz for a few minutes.
  • Add 6 cups of water to the mixture. With this, the fizzing process will come to an end.
  • With help of a large stick, mix the ingredients properly.
  • Next, add 10-15 drops of pure essential oil. It will help give the fabric softener a pleasant scent.
  • Your fabric softener is ready! All you need to do is put it in a clean container of your choice and store properly.

Enjoy!
