Although store shelves in drugstores and discount stores are full of household chemicals, why overpay when we can successfully make some of the products at home. One of them may be fabric softener, which will certainly be more ecological and gentle on the skin. See for yourself how simple it is.

How to prepare homemade fabric softener?

First of all, prepare a plastic packaging – it can be used for fabric softener bought in a store. Then you need: gray soap, soda ash and boiling water. Grate about 1/2 of the soap using a coarse grater, then pour a liter of boiling water and mix thoroughly. Set aside to cool. Pour 1/4 cup of baking soda into the second bowl and also pour a liter of boiling water over it. When both mixtures cool down, carefully pour them into the previously prepared bottle and mix again. Use like regular fabric softener!

“You will save money, take care of the environment and perhaps your health”

We recently wrote a text about Sylwia Panek, who uses social media to spread knowledge about the compositions and functions of popular detergents. She calls herself an ambassador of vinegar and baking soda, and in everyday household chores she is guided by ecology. You will read the article . In one of her recent posts on Instagram, Sylwia pointed out that manufacturers of fabric softeners do not always provide their entire ingredients on the packaging.

See 4-5 ingredients on the label? THIS IS NOT THE FULL COMPOSITION! Manufacturers of cleaning products are not obliged to provide us with the full composition of their products. If we want to know the full one, we have to search a bit. I once checked the composition of a popular fabric softener and there were as many as 26 ingredients, including 7 fragrances, softeners and PRESERVATIVES, SOLVENTS, EMULGATORS, DYES, FILLING SUBSTANCES. Do you really want all these unnecessary accessories to stay in your clothes and be in constant contact with your skin?

– she wondered.
