Instead of buying dryer sheets, try this! Buy any kind of liquid fabric softener. Pour a capful of liquid fabric softener (about 1/8 cup) into a 32 oz spray bottle. Add water to fill up the bottle. Shake. Spray the solution 3-4 times on each side of a dishcloth or washcloth, then toss into dryer with wet clothes. Your clothes will come out static-free and smelling fresh!
Using a laundry marker, label your washcloth "Dryer Sheet" so you don't put it away with the rest of the folded laundry! I always toss the cloth back into the dryer so it is always there for the next load. Remember to spritz it on both sides before each use.
I used an empty spray bottle of window cleaner to mix my soution. I always try to recycle whatever I can. You can buy a spray bottle at the dollar store if you don't have one. Yes, you have my permission. HA HA!
This is great for the environment because you no longer need to buy dryer sheets that end up in our landfills.
You will save money by mixing your own solution. One 32 oz bottle that you mix yourself could last you 6 months to a year...depending on how much laundry you do. Then when you run out of your solution, just mix up some more using the bottle of fabric softener you bought.
I wash my home made "dryer sheet" about once a month. Just toss it in with your laundry!
