20cloth “sheets”

Instructions

Step 1

Step 1 Put as many of your dry dryer sheets into your jar as you can. I rolled mine up the first time but now I just stuff them in there.

Step 2

Step 2 In a separate container, mix together 1 1/2 cups of white vinegar, 1/2 cup of distilled water (or water that you’ve boiled), and 20 drops of your favorite essential oil. A few of my favorite scents are lavender & tea tree, lemon & orange, and geranium & lavender.

Step 3

Step 3 Pour the solution over your dryer sheets in the jar and put the lid on. It may take a little while for all of the sheets to absorb the solution. Each dryer sheet should be saturated but not dripping.

Step 4

Step 4 When you switch a load of laundry from the washer into the dryer, just toss in one of your dryer sheets.
