Eczema & Natural Softeners

Video Transcript

"With washing clothes, vinegar, once again, is a great option. To keep your clothes really soft and to also get the residue out of the detergent, because the residue on the clothing can irritate the skin. I like to put vinegar in the rinse cycle. It's usually a cap that's located in the middle of the washing machine. When you're loading your wash in with your cap full of detergent, you pour some of this into the top of our rinse cycle and it automatically goes through your wash, it rinses out the rest of the chemicals or whatever is in your laundry from the detergent, and it leaves your clothes feeling very soft and extra clean. Try to avoid using fabric softener sheets. They're scented, they make your clothes smell great, there's a lot of commercials out using these fabric softener sheets, how wonderful you want your clothes to smell like the fresh outdoors or springtime. And that's not necessary, it's just extra stuff that is really not important. And, if you do have eczema or allergies, you want to avoid those fragrances. If you are accustomed to using fragrance sheets, there is a product that has non, they're non-fragrance softener sheets that you can use. It's another way that you can soften your laundry in addition to using the vinegar in your rinse cycle."
