Soft and fragrant laundry: how to make your own natural fabric softener

Procedure

1. Fill a bowl with water.
2. Pour 3/4 tablespoons of percarbonate and let it dissolve.
3. At the same time, pour in approximately 100 ml of demineralized water.
4. Continue stirring and add a couple of drops of essential oil.
5. Fill a bottle and use your fabric softener whenever you need it.

What can you put in the washing machine instead of fabric softener?

• Citric acid : make a solution with approximately 100 grams of citric acid dissolved in 1 litre of water and add it to the fabric softener compartment to obtain soft fabrics without limescale residue;
• Coarse salt : Adding a small amount of coarse salt directly to the washing machine drum can help keep fabrics soft;
• Green tea : Brew a green tea infusion and add it during the rinse cycle to keep fabrics soft and sanitized.
