DIY DRYER SHEETS
Ever wanted to make your own dryer sheets. Now that I think of it that might be a weird question to ask but trust me making them is very easy. Two benefits of making your own dryer sheet are that; they will save you a lot of money; two, they make your laundry smell way better than regular dryer sheets. This article will show you how to make your own affordable dryer sheets.
1. Gather Your Supplies:
-
- Four sponges (preferably new and unused)
- Fabric softener of your choice
- A container with a tight-fitting lid (such as a plastic container or a glass jar)
- Water
-
Cut the Sponges:
- Cut each sponge into smaller pieces. You can cut them into quarters or halves, depending on the size of your container.
-
Prepare the Fabric Softener Solution:
- Mix equal parts water and fabric softener in a bowl. For example, if you use 1 cup of water, add 1 cup of fabric softener.
- Stir the mixture well to ensure it’s evenly combined.
-
Soak the Sponges:
- Place the sponge pieces into the container.
- Pour the fabric softener solution over the sponges until they are fully submerged.
- Let the sponges soak for a few hours or overnight. This allows them to absorb the fabric softener.
-
Use the DIY Dryer Sheets:
- When you’re ready to use a dryer sheet, wring out excess liquid from one of the sponges.
- Toss the damp sponge into the dryer with your laundry.
- The fabric softener in the sponge will release during the drying cycle, leaving your clothes soft and static-free.
-
Reuse and Refresh:
- After each use, return the sponge to the container.
- When the fabric softener solution runs low, simply add more fabric softener and water to the container.
Remember, this homemade alternative is eco-friendly and cost-effective! Enjoy softer laundry without the need for disposable dryer sheets
Conclusion:
Tada!! you now have your own dryer sheets. I told you making them would be easy.
