homemake softener to get away form chemicals ?

We usually wash clothes at home, especially when we encounter cotton clothes, we always want to put some softener in it, and feel that the clothes that are related in that way will be fluffier and softer. However, according to data survey, clothes softener contains many dangerous chemicals benzyl alcohol, limonene, chloroform and other substances. After softener is used on clothes, those chemicals will remain in the clothes. When those residual chemicals are slowly released, they will penetrate the skin or enter the air. Those chemicals are extremely harmful to the elderly and children at home. We should stay away from softeners. What should we do if we want clothes to be pliable without using softeners! Let me introduce to you a safe, environmentally friendly and cost-effective way.

1, Mix the baking soda and hot water together.Stir 250ml of baking soda into 500ml of hot water and mix well.You can pour these two materials into a vat or other container.Note that the baking soda will not dissolve, but it must be thoroughly soaked in water.People who wash clothes in hard water rave about this homemade fabric softener.Baking soda can adjust the acid-base value of the water so as not to be too acidic or too alkaline.In addition, baking soda can also remove minerals deposited in hard water.These minerals are the main reason that makes clothes hard.

2, Add the vinegar slowly.Slowly pour 250 ml of distilled white vinegar into the mixture.Stir gently until the baking soda dissolves.The vinegar chemically reacts with the baking soda, bubbling and fizzing.Don't fall too fast, so as not to mess up everything.Vinegar can remove soap and sediment left on clothes and help soften hard water.Some people think that vinegar and baking soda will counteract each other's effects and cannot effectively soften clothes.However, the salt produced by the chemical reaction acts as a buffer during the rinsing process.In addition, even after the chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda, many elements that help soften the clothes remain in the solution and will not disappear.

3, If you want, you can add fragrance to the softener.To make a scented fabric softener, you must add essential oils or flavoring agents.Stir any material you choose directly into the softener solution.If you want to use essential oils, 25 to 30 drops of essential oils should be enough.If you use a flavoring agent, you can pour 60 to 125 milliliters of granules into water and mix until dissolved.[2]You can usually find flavor enhancers in the detergent department of a department store.It is not a natural product. From an environmental point of view, it may not be a suitable material.However, it does add fragrance to the softener, which may save money in the long run.

4, During the rinsing program, pour 60 ml of homemade softener into the washing machine.Before the rinsing program of the standard laundry volume, pour 60 ml of homemade softener into the softener box or softener ball, or directly into the washing machine.Put the softener only after the main cleaning procedure is completed.Pour the remaining softener into the storage container.Shake or mix them well before each use.
