Make Your Own Fabric Softener
Save money by making your own fabric softener. Here's a quick recipe: Mix together 1/2 cup glycerin, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1 gallon water and essential oil (such as orange). You can store in an empty store-bought fabric softener bottle for easy measuring come laundry time. Just use a capful of the mixture to a load of laundry. Also, another alternative if you're unable to find essential oil is to mix to the whole mixture with approximately 2 capfuls of regular fabric softener to give the mixture a fragrance. I was getting annoyed with the regular blue fabric softener that had a tendency to leave marks on my clothing at times. This is a thinner mixture that goes through your laundry detergent area on your washing machine easier. Try this and let me know how it works for you.

I use this every time I wash clothes. If I have many sweaters in the load, I have to double the amoung of softner. It is still very inexpensive. If you have any Bounce dryer sheets lying around, rub them around your neck and sleeves to prevent mosquitoes from annoying you. It works too.
