Fabric Softner

1 cup baking soda
6 cups distilled white vinegar
8 cups water
10-15 drops orange or lemon essential oils or other essential oils, of choice (optional)


You will need a one gallon container.  First add the baking soda to the plastic container.  Next add 1 cup of water to start with.  Slowly add the vinegar to the bottle as the vinegar and baking soda will start to fizz. Then add the rest of the water swirling around & cover venting the top a few times.
Add the essential oil.

Add 1 cup in your final rinse cycle for each load but give the bottle a good shake to stir up the essential oil before using.
