White vinegar is a great fabric softener and all you have to do is add some mint and the laundry will come out smelling so good!
Here is how to make your homemade fabric softener for a very soft laundry with a fresh mint smell . Watch:

2. Put them in the jar.
3. Pour the white vinegar over it using the funnel.
4. Close the container.
5. Let the mint leaves macerate for 24 hours.
6. Filter the mixture with the sieve over a basin.

8. Pour in the fragrant vinegar.
There you go, your homemade mint-smelling fabric softener is already ready :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
This recipe is perfect to replace fabric softeners, such as Soupline, which are full of toxic products for your skin.
If you combine it with a homemade detergent, no risk of allergy for fragile skin!
And it's much more economical than a store-bought fabric softener like Lenor.
And you don't even need cornstarch or glycerin to make your fabric softener!
It's super easy to use! Just pour your fabric softener into the tub of your washing machine.
Simply add at least 50 ml of your scented vinegar to the softener compartment of your washing machine.
The vinegar is then released during the rinse cycle, leaving your clothes feeling soft and smelling great.
If you don't like the smell of mint too much, there are plenty of other fresh herbs you can use instead.
I am thinking of thyme, rosemary, fresh basil, lavender, or even lilac. All of these herbs are also perfect for making a scented fabric softener.
But whatever herb you choose, be sure to use fresh herbs, not dried ones!
