Here is a dryer sheet
recipe. Just one simple suggestion to get you
started once you have gained your everyday living essential oils. |

Not only is this laundry solution healthier, it is
also awesomely eco-friendly. For only pennies, you'll have dryer sheets that can
be used over and over and over again. What makes these dryer sheets better than
their store-bought counterparts is they can be personalized with your favorite
scent and are free of any toxic additives. Along with leaving your clothes
feeling soft and fresh, they'll smell clean and ready for wear.

And once you try them, you'll wonder why you never

What You'll Need:
-
1/2 cup of vinegar
-
8 drops Purification (a Young Living EO blend) or other essential oil
-
Sealable container
-
Cotton cloths
|
|
Directions:
-
Start by cutting your cotton cloths into smaller sections. I used
inexpensive dish towels from the dollar store, but old tee shirts or linens
would work wonderfully too.
-
Put the above ingredients into the sealable container.
Glass is recommended if using any of the citrus based oils. We love
the canning jars wrapped with decorative duct tape to help prevent scattered
glass if dropped.
-
Place the cut cotton cloths into the solution.
-
As needed, grab a cloth in the container, squeeze out
excess liquid and place in dryer with clothes.
-
When done, place cloth back into container.
Eco-friendly and you can tell that you'll only need a couple of cloths
-
Little tidbit of helpful safety information. When
using any dryer sheets, particularly store bought, it is good to wash the
residue off your lint trap on a regular basis. Make sure it is well
dry before using again. The residue build up causes the lint trap to
be less effective which leads to lint build up inside the dryer and exhaust.
This lint build up can be a fire hazard, so regular maintenance is
essential.
