Homemade Fabric Softener
You may already be making Homemade Body Wash and DIY Hand Soap… but if you’ve been wanting to cut costs on Fabric Softener you might want to give this a try. I love my homemade fabric softener and it saves me a ton! I have to say… you’re going to love this Homemade Fabric Softener from Food.com because it is quick and easy. Plus, you can pick your own scent, which is nice! I love apple in the fall!
What You’ll Need:
- 6 cups hot water
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups hair conditioner
How to Make & Use:
- Mix water, vinegar, and hair conditioner in a 1 gallon container; stir. Do not shake it – it will cause foaming.
- Use the same amount you normally use in a rinse cycle or spritz it on a wash cloth and throw in dryer.
This is a frugal way to save on things that you use every day! We love our homemade fabric softener and have even given it as gifts!

I recently found your site and I love all the ideas I have seen so far. Is there a book I can order for my Husband. He prefers print over computer. Lol.Thank you.
~do you got a book?i would love to have one!!~please write back!~thank you and god bless!~
just found this site and already i love it
I actually tried the recipe and used my first Downy Ball with my Grandmothers bedding. It worked pretty good. I used VO5 conditioner. I went to Kroger and got 4 for .79¢ a piece & used a coupon that was $1.00 off 4 which brought them to .58¢ a piece after tax.
I read somewhere recently that a balled up piece of aluminum foil works as a fabric softener with the same piece lasting an extended amount of time. I havent tried this yet.
I also read about the Foil Ball as a fabric softener in the dryer. I did try it and I “thought” the jeans did feel softer.. true? or my imagination? I don’t ..but the foil ball isn’t hurting anything so I will continue to use it
take aluminum foil and crumble to make a tight foil ball about the size of you palm
Im so glad I fount this site. I have 4 kids & I love using homemade stuff in my home & home remedys.
I have made mine for years…but use more than a 1tbls…I use as much as ordinary softener
