Use up to 1 cup (depending on load size) per load. When fizz has settled, pour into storage container of choice.

Welcome to your local elementary school science fair. So, I decided that instead of reinventing the wheel, it would be smarter to test each recipe out to see if either of them really worked, if they were cost effective, and how they compare to the other.

Use this right alongside my homemade laundry detergent recipe and you’ll be money too. Easy to make with 3 ingredients, you’ll have a batch made in just 5 minutes. This is the very best homemade fabric softener recipe ever.
