One of my absolute favorite smells is clean clothes in a dryer. You know when your outside, near the dryer vent, and you can smell the fresh laundry smell? Oh man, I love that! That particular smell reminds me of being at my Grandma's house as a kid.
Once I stopped using conventional laundry detergent, fabric softener, or dryer sheets that smell became less familiar to me. However, now that I use essential oils it is better than ever! When I first starting making my own soap I was lazy and cheap, and didn't always add in essential oils. The soap still worked great, but I missed that fresh clean smell. Now I always add essential oils, and now that I am using these dryer sheets, my laundry smells even better. Plus, they work well at softening the clothes.
Keep reading to learn how to make natural dryer sheets with essential oils!
NATURAL DRYER SHEETS INGREDIENTS
1 cup white vinegar
20-30 drops of essential oils (Get my favorite oils here: shopoils.com/l...)
Cotton cloths
NATURAL DRYER SHEETS INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the vinegar and essential oils into a small bowl and stir until well combined.
Cut old cotton t-shirts or fabric remnants into 5 inch squares. You can also use reusable cotton baby wipes.
Fold the fabric pieces to fit inside of a mason jar or other airtight container. Pour the vinegar and essential oil mixture over the cloth wipes. I made 12 cloths and used all the liquid. If you make less you may not need all the liquid. You don't want to saturate them.
Add 1-2 cloth dryer sheets per load. Before putting the cloths into the dryer squeeze access liquid back into the storage container.
HOW THE NATURAL DRYER SHEETS WORK
These double as a fabric softener and dryer sheet. The vinegar helps to soften clothes and leaves no residue on the laundry. Don't worry your clothes won't smell vinegary! As the clothes dry the vinegar smell will go away. The essential oils will add a beautiful scent to your clothes and you can customize it to smell however you want. I share my favorite oils to use below.
The vinegar and essential oils both help to reduce static.

I just made your recipe. So simple and smells great. I used eucalyptus and sandalwood essential oils. I am trying to detoxify my life with all natural solutions and this is one more check off my list.. Thank you ❤

@ouroilyhouse 3 года назад

Great job!

I tried it out with a load of 1 blanket queen size bed sheets and pillowcases and a couple of towels. Absolutely no static cling!!! Simply amazing.

@shaydelady1508 3 года назад

Vinegar also helps sets in the color. So if you have a new pair of jeans that you don't want to bleed, wash them with a cup of white vinegar in hot water.

@amythinks 3 года назад

Lots of things to love about this....1) the logic of not bothering to sew them. You out-Lisa'd Lisa on that one. 2) Lisa telling you to make them yourself. She's the real deal. Your powers combined make some sort of transformer super mom. Great work!

@GloriaDelicioso 4 года назад

You can just take and snip the center of that fabric and PULL and TEAR the whole length! Then lay together and cut BOTH at the same time so you will only need to do 10 cuts to get the 6 inch squares! easy-peasy & fast and GREAT IDEA to make fabric softeners

Instead of using vinegar and adding essential oils, use the all purpose vinegar which is 6%. Cut lemons, or pine or cedar or many other options,(lavender, roses, mint, etc.) Let them infuse in the vinegar for a couple of weeks, strain and add to your jar of cloth pieces, less pricey than essential oils.

@tawnyamaddox3119 4 года назад

I avoid washing & drying flannel, towels, socks my & fleece with my clothing, bedding or anything else that I do not want to cause piling to nice my clothing & linens. Using flannel for dryer sheets I’d imagine will cause pilling. Cotton or broad cloth I think would avoid this. Peaking shears would resolve the strands & having to surge edges. If you don’t fix the strands I’d imagine those too will cause piling as well as strands getting caught up in buttons & other parts of clothing. Just my opinion. Love the idea to make scented dryer sheets.
