Everyone loves a warm, fresh-smelling pile of clean clothes, but sometimes the products we use in our laundry contain unnecessary chemicals and additives. This natural fabric softener DIY uses the power of vinegar and essential oils to give your clothes a crisp, clean scent using just two ingredients.

First, vinegar acts as a natural softening agent by dissolving hard water buildup without leaving residue behind. And don’t worry—although this ingredient has a strong scent of its own, you won’t even notice it once your clothes have dried.

You can choose any number of essential oils to add to this recipe depending on your preferred aroma. Lemon, Grapefruit, and Peppermint are great options if you’re looking for an invigorating boost, but here we have listed Lavender and Geranium oils due to their soothing, conditioning properties. Whatever you decide to use, your clothes will come out feeling softer and smelling nicer.

Ingredients
16 ounces white vinegar
10–15 drops Lavender or Geranium oil

Instructions

1. Add essential oils to a glass spray bottle.
2. Fill the remaining space with warm white vinegar.
3. Shake well before each use to ensure oils and vinegar are well combined. 
4. To use, spray over wet clothing before drying.

Ingredients
1–2 eggs
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 drops Geranium oil

Instructions

1. Mix eggs with olive oil.
2. Add in honey and Geranium oil and mix until creamy
3. Apply mask from roots to ends of hair until completely covered
4. Cover hair with plastic wrap or a shower cap and leave for 30–60 minutes
5. Rinse with warm water and shampoo until hair is no longer sticky. Use conditioner if necessary.
