I found this recipe and was skeptical. Really? Hair Conditioner? Cheap Hair conditioner? VINEGAR? I feared I'd be walking around smelling like a Šopský salát (google it).
Nope. Pure awesomeness. My clothes are SO soft- softer than with store-bought- and smell fresh and clean. The scent of the conditioner is definitely there. This recipe makes a lot of softener, so I only made half. This is the full recipe.
Recipe:
- 6 cups HOT water
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups Suave Conditioner {or other favorite scent-I found it for $1}
Directions:
- Measure out conditioner.
- Whisk together hot water and conditioner. Make sure the conditioner is mixed completely with the water- no clumps. I had to whisk for a minute or so.
- Add Vinegar and mix well (this is the actual softener- the conditioner I think it just for scent. Vinegar also helps with static sling).
- Use 2 tbsp in a Downy ball or in the softener dispenser in your machine, diluted with water (basically use it like it's store bought)
I keep it in this carafe (end of summer sale at Target for $1!) so it's easy to pour into our washer. |
