Here is a CHEAP and EASY alternitive to that pricy liquid fabric softner. This is a very simple solution that is certianly more natural than all the chemicals you are putting in your clothes with the store bought fabric softner and works even better! I got the hair conditioner on sale (really cheap brand) for .89cents, and of course vinegar is about $2.00 for the 1/2 gallon size so this is MUCH cheaper and "greener"!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 3 C vinegar
  • 2 C hair conditioner (any kind)
  • 6 C water

Step1
in a seal able container (if you have a couple old liquid fabric softener containers, those work well), combine 2 cups hair conditioner (I use a regular sized bottle- a little less than 2 cups), 3 cups vinegar, and 6 cups water
Step2
mix all ingredients together
Step3
store in air tight container.
Step4
use same amount you would use with regular liquid fabric softener

on 4/28/2008 This is very interesting. My mom used to use vinegar as a rinse on our hair as a conditioner.
