10 Ways to Make Your Own Homemade Dryer Sheets - Fast

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of vinegar
• 8 drops tea tree or other essential oil
• Sealable container
• Cotton cloth

• Start by cutting your cotton cloth into smaller sections. I used inexpensive dish towels from the dollar store, but old tee shirts or linens would work wonderfully too.
• Mix together the vinegar and essential oil in a small bowl. Vinegar is a natural softener, and the essential oil gives your clothes a gentle, natural scent. Pour the mixture over the cloth until they are dampened but not soaked. Keep in a securely closed container.
• To use, simply remove a sheet from the container, squeezing any excess liquid back into the jar, and toss into the dryer. To reduce static cling in clothes, reduce the heat temperature of your dryer. When clothes are dry, simply place the sheet back in the jar for use later.

Ingredients

• Dish rags
• Fabric softener

• Thoroughly soak the dishrags in a bowl of full-strength fabric softener
• Allow the towels to dry thoroughly
