Did you know that you can make your own dryer sheets?? Super easy and it really does save you from having to buy those little boxes of the premade sheets. I learned this trick back in college and I still use it. I won't lie.. I do still have a few boxes of dryer sheets but only ones where I can't duplicate the fragrance but this is my normal go to fabric softer in the laundry room.
Homemade Dryer “Sheets”
What You’ll Need:
Container with lid
Fabric Softner ( any kind will do )
Water
Measuring Cup
3 Sponges
Cut sponges in 1/2 so you’ll have 6 mini sponges.
Leave to soak til you need them.
When it is time to use them. Gently squeeze 2 of them (enough to stop the dripping) and insert with your wet clothes into the dryer. When your clothes are dry put the sponges back in the jar for their next use. You could also choose to use a dish cloth or scrap of fabric instead of a sponge, but it would be more difficult to locate them with all of the other clothes in the dryer.
Pull them out of the dryer and enjoy the smell.
The one thing I use to do in the beginning was not ring them out as I should have and this did cause a little staining on the clothes.. which I had to wash again.. so do ring them out a little bit before tossing them in the dryer!
This tip really will save you!! That one bottle of fabric softener will last a really long time if you use this method!
Do you have any great tips to share!? Leave them in the comments!!
