I love the way clothes smell coming out of the dryer, but I hate paying for dryer sheets. They can cost up to $5 for a box of them. Here are two ways to cut down the cost:
Option 1
- Get a spray bottle and pour 1/4 cup of liquid fabric softener in it.
- Fill it to the top with water.
- Take a washcloth and spray it with your mixture.
- Throw it it the dryer with your clothes.
Option 2
- Fill a small pail with a lid with one gallon of water.
- Add 1 cup of liquid fabric softener.
- Dip a washcloth in your pail and squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Put your washcloth in the dryer with your laundry.
- Store your pail for future use.
The best money saver is not to use them
I weaned myself off using dryer sheets a few years ago when I found out that they have really nasty chemicals in them. I save lots of $ now and don’t miss the scent (in fact, now laundry scents seem so strong to me!).
Thanks for sharing this save.
You are very welcome!
