Fabric Softener

This won’t harm fragile fabrics, and it is a brilliant odor remover in the sense that it actually

gets rid of smells…it doesn’t mask them with perfumey scents like other fabric softeners do.

You will need…
-2 cups of Epsom salt or course sea salt

-20-30 drops of your favorite essential oil or blend of scents
-1/2 cup baking soda
-A container with a tightly fitting lid

-A marker

Directions

Mix together 2 cups of Epsom salt or course sea salt and add 20-30 drops of your favorite
essential oil-we used lemon for its bright, refreshing scent.

Stir in the essential oil before mixing in ½ cup of baking soda (alternately, you can leave
out the baking soda, and add it separately, which works well.)
After mixing together pour into a container with a tightly fitting lid and label it if you plan on

making more with different scents. Use 2-3 tablespoons and toss in with your clothes before
rinsing. If using the baking soda separately, add half a cup to each load.
