| Lavender Dryer Sheets
|
|
While shopping in California at Trader Joe's I found the most wonderful lavender dryer sheets. Upon returning to Florida I found no Trader Joe's and I went on a desperate search on the Internet. Following is what I found! I am soooo excited and hope you will be too!

| Homemade Laundry Powder
|
|
I recently was away from home for a few days. I had just made up a double batch of this homemade powder laundry detergent. When I got home the canister was almost empty. The housesitter did some wash and since the stuff doesn't suds up-she kept adding more. She used like a 6-month supply of laundry soap!

| Make Your Own Reflective Ironing Board Cover
|
|
You may or may not have seen those advertisements for reflective ironing board covers that are supposed to cut your ironing time in half because you heat up both sides of the item you are ironing. You can get the same effect for much less than the $40 dollars advertised by covering your ironing board in heavy duty foil, then covering it with your regular ironing board cover.

| Make your own fabric softener sheets.
|
|
Take an old towel and soak it in liquid fabric softener. Wring
it out good, pour the liquid fabric softener back into the bottle
and let the towel dry before using. This "sheet" should last you
at least 40 loads of laundry. One bottle of liquid fabric
softener should last years.

| Making Febreeze Type Fabric Freshener & Wrinkle Releaser
|
|
I love the smell of Febreeze but can't stand the price so I searched for an online equivalent which I can not take credit for but will gladly share. Go to any local store and take the caps off the liquid fabric softener, sniff away till you find one you like. Purchase the softener and a spray bottle.

| Make Your Own Laundry Soap With Dish Soap
|
|
I use Ajax, Dawn or Joy to wash my clothes. It's bunches cheaper than Tide. Mix it 7 to 1 (Water/Ajax,Dawn or Joy) in your empty laundry detergent bottle. Pour in 7 cups of water, then add 1 cup of dish detergent. I use the bottle cap to measure just like the Tide. I also fill my Downey ball about half full of white vinegar and toss that in. It removes soap build up and softens too. For whites I use 1/2 cup of All Fabric Bleach from the Dollar Store. A 76 oz box was $2.00. Really thrifty and it doesn't bother my DH's sensitive skin. By K
