So, I may not be the best person around to ask for "roughing it" type recipes since I really love to have soft, good smelling clean cloths. I know a lot of folks have forgone with the fabric softener and have found creative ways to lessen the static without them, but I wasn't quite able to conform. I tried using a mixture of half hair conditioner (until I went no-poo and stopped using it) and water in a spray bottle. I would just spritz it on a washcloth and throw it in the dryer. WaLa! a fabric softener sheet without the nasty, clingy sheets all around the laundry area!
Now I'm using this recipe and using it in the fabric softener dispenser in my washing machine (I'm told it also works well in those little Downy fabric softener balls that you can buy).
6 cups water
1/2 cup baking soda
3 cups white vinegar
essential oil optional to your desired strength.
I mix it all together in a big mixing bowl and then, using a funnel, pour it into a 2 liter re-purposed soda bottle that still has a lid. I like to use rose scented essential oil that I pick up at a local pagan spiritual shop near my home, but you can use any scent that you like.
I got this recipe from the following blog site where he has some great stuff for us DIY, Prepper, Off the Grid, Nature lovin' folk.
