Fabric Softner Tips

Fabric softener

Are you using them? Do we need them? What’s in them? Do you have any questions about them?

I’ve been using white vinegar as fabric softener for years. I know what you might be thinking? Does it make your clothes smell like vinegar? I thought the same too when someone suggested this to me as a non toxic switch. The answer is no. A lot of us like that fabric softener make our clothes smell nice. That’s why I’ve started adding 💯 natural therapeutic grade essential oil to the white vinegar. I love Eucalyptus so that’s my personal choice. (Please know that not all essential oils a pure essential oils and some companies add synthetic chemical to their products. If you want my help with that I’m happy to help 😊)

Did you know even in brands we think are low tox fabric softeners are necessarily not. When you see the ingredient ‘fragrance’ on any label it is usually a cocktail of chemicals and could be anything!!! You might be scared to find out what that is that’s why companies hide it under the word fragrance. Crazy I know!

This is one of the reasons why I stopped wasting money on store bought fabric softeners and switched to white vinegar. I’ve saved so much money 💰

Did you know a lot of clothes especially activewear labels state do not use fabric softener. It’s actually not good for your clothes let alone your health.

So if you want to make a cost effective switch today, this is an easy way to start your low tox lifestyle.
