Duggars' Homemade Fabric Softener

There is no better way to start the new year than with new money saving techniques. We have posted the Duggars' recipes for liquid laundry detergent, baby wipes, and brown rice baby cereal. How about homemade fabric softener? They have two different recipes, one for the washer and one for the dryer.

Recipe #1 (Washer)
1  Cup white vinegar

Add vinegar to rinse cycle. Removes residue and odors and helps keep washing machine and hoses clean.

Recipe #2 (Dryer)
1  Container of name brand fabric softener*
4  Inexpensive sponges, cut in half

Pour entire container of softener into a 5 gallon bucket. Fill empty softener container with water twice, and add to the bucket (2 parts water to 1 part softener). Add sponges to softener/water mixture. When ready to use, wring out extra mixture from one sponge, and add to the dryer as you would a dryer sheet. 

*You can use any amount of fabric softener, as long as you add two parts water.
