DIY Dryer Sheets

I love this quick DIY technique and had to share. It’s for DIY Dryer sheets that are super simple and can be used over and over before ever needing to re-DIY(?) them again. If you're scent-free and totally natural…than this isn't a project for you. It does utilize fabric softener, any of your choice.

All you need are a stack of white dish rags, a jar to store them in, a bowl, fabric softener, and a clothing line or rack to dry your dish rags on.

Start by pouring straight fabric softener into your bowl. There’s no specific amount, and there won’t be any waste because the rest can be poured right back into the bottle. Soak your dish rags in the fabric softener, remove, and hang to dry outside. Allow them to dry THOROUGHLY.  This will take a while. Once they are dry you can fold them up and put them into your jar, leaving it in your laundry room for easy access. You just grab a sheet and throw it in with your laundry when you’re drying a load. You can use each upwards of 12 times before needing to start the process over again.

If you want to try a simple DIY fabric softener for this project, all you need is white vinegar and your favorite hair conditioner. Just thoroughly mix 3 parts vinegar to 2 parts hair conditioner: stir it, do not shake it. If you're throwing it into your washer, too, simply use ½ cup or so as you would regular fabric softener.
