Frugal Friday: Making Your Own Dryer Sheets

This post may contain affiliate links.

Here's a great way to save on Dryer Sheets around the home!

Version #1 -

Use 2-3 Dish Cloths or Wash Cloths
Place the Wash Cloths in a Container that seals tightly with a lid
Combine 1 Cup Vinegar, 1 TBSP Baking Soda, 1/2-1 Cup Water and 4-5 Drops of Essential Oil in a Measuring Cup
Pour Vinegar & Baking Soda Mixture over the Wash Cloths
Seal the Container and Shake to completely cover the Washcloths
Remove and Let Air Dry
Once Dry toss in the Dryer with your Clothes

Version #2 -

Use 2-3 Old Towels, Dish Cloths or Wash Cloths
Place the Wash Cloths in a Container that seals tightly with a lid
Combine 1/2 Cup Liquid Fabric Softener with 1 Cup Water
Pour mixture over the Wash Cloths
Seal the Container and Shake to completely cover the Washcloths
Remove and Let Air Dry
Once Dry toss these in Dryer with your Clothes :)

Version #3 -

Use 1 Sponge
Combine 1 cup Liquid Fabric Softener with 1 Cup Water in a Container that seals with a lid
Put Sponge in Container and let Soak for a couple of hours
When ready to use, Ring out most of the liquid and Toss Sponge in the Dryer
After clothes are done put Sponge Back in Liquid for next Load

From Michelle "My Kansas City Mommy", I tried VERSION NO 1 - one word of caution - your house will smell like vinegar while this is drying but..... I am actually pleasantly surprised by the way it works in the dryer and it no longer smells like vinegar - my clothes smell great. I used lemon essential oil.
