![]() ![]() ![]() I wouldn't be as concerned about using it on clothing or bedding, because the minimal amount of of residue will be washed out when laundered. That being said, I would be concerned that this Febreze homemade solution would do the same thing on a couch-build up and attract dirt. I've never used liquid fabric softener again. When you fill the tub with warm or hot water, some of the substance is melted off into the water and lands on your clothes. Soon there is an appreciable dark waxy build-up. The wax attracts the dirt in the wash water. They explained that fabric softener leaves a waxy substance under the agitator. I sent them a sample of affected clothes. At that time there was a Maytag Laundry Institute I don't know if it still exists. I was getting black splotches on my clothes after washing them, splotches that I wasn't able to treat. Let me tell you a story before I express my concern. Because now he can play an extra round of golf a week with the money you saved us!! Which could work to my advantage as well. 1 part fabric softener to 2 parts water in an airtight container, pop in some dollar store sponges cut in half, take one out, squeeze out excess & toss in the. So I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing this and for saving my family so much money!! My husband also "THANKS YOU". The best essential oils for this purpose include lavender, lemon/lemongrass, tea tree oil, peppermint and eucalyptus. lol But they know where I keep my stash of Febreze and I sometimes catch them spraying things down as well.lol But you know it's not a pleasant smell when you have all those boys in a room after riding horses and bulls all night. Which I love and wouldn't change for anything. We also have about 10 extra boys that seem to find there way to our house every weekend after the rodeos. But if that's not enough to make our house smell like a barn. ![]() I guess I'm paranoid because we farm cattle, horses and my son rodeos. lol I just have a fear of my house (couch, throw pillows, etc) smelling when someone comes to visit. Reply Deleteįirst of all I must admit that I am addicted to Febreze. In my opinion, it works better and has more staying power than regular Febreze. It's not an exact science so if the smell isn't strong enough or is too strong, you can always adjust the amounts of the fabric softener :)Īllie Z, I haven't noticed any dust or film on any of my fabrics after using this (nor on my hardwood floor after I spilled it everywhere), just fresh, clean smell (and surprisingly shiny floors!). bottle, so you could probably put a little less fabric softener and only 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Jackieohejl, I just filled it to just below the top of the bottle so it wouldn't overflow when I put the nozzle in. I don't think there would be a problem, but I would definitely keep it out of the little one(s) reach. Reiahart, I'm not 100% sure on that one, but I have two large dogs and spray it on my couches, beds, curtains, etc. Thanks, Emom! The savings were so worth a bruised hiney! haha ![]()
