This is another interesting homemade item to add to you lavender gift basket.
Lavender Laundry Softener
- 32 oz. white vinegar
- 32 oz. baking soda
- 64 oz. distilled or purified water
- ½ oz. lavender essential oil.
Mix the baking soda into the vinegar over a sink
or other contained area, in a large plastic jar. The two materials, when mixed together, will cause a "fizzing" reaction. Add water and essential oil and stir again. *As gifts, dispense into plastic bottles and label with the following directions: Use 1/4 cup per load. Add in rinse cycle.

Does this actually replace a store-bought fabric softener? It would be nice not to fork out for heaven only knows what chemicals are in those.

That was an AWESOME recipe. My business partner, Vanessa and I tried it last week.
Thank you!
We actually run a fundraising company, Healthy Planet Fundraising, but much more than that.
We're trying to get the public to be more sustainable in their approaches to cleaning, by re-using and re-cycling their spray bottles, making laundry soap at home, etc.
We also sell soap flakes at our online store, that can be used to make decorative soap - that's sort of like French milled soap. A homemade soap recipe can be used for safely cleaning toys and pets. Making handmade natural soap is fun and it's easy for kids to make! Please feel free to visit our website:
