We love to keep it simple and frugal around here...here is one idea for the laundry, to do just that!
Make our own Homemade Dryer Sheets! This is a great way to use up old cloth, and cotton rags or scrap clothing! Take your piece of cloth and add 3-5 drops of your favorite essential oil to it. (No more than this or you could end up with staining of your clothing in the load and have to re-wash!) These can be reused too, by just adding a couple more drops of the essential oil to the cloth each load; you can “recycle” it back through the wash to be used again and again!
Here are a few ideas for making your own blends for your homemade dryer sheets:
Rosemary and thyme for a natural, earthy scent
Lavender and chamomile for a relaxing, soothing effect
Sweet orange and lemon for a refreshing scent
Eucalyptus and peppermint (or just the eucalyptus) for cold/flu sufferers
Ylang-ylang and jasmine for a romantic floral scent
Or create your own, with your favorite essential oils!
