The 5 Best Homemade Fabric Softeners
Fabric Softener- This worked very well and saved me a lot. I used Rosemary and Mint Suave conditioner and white vinegar. There was only a trace of the smell of vinegar after it was mixed and this disappears when the clothes are dry. The Rosemary-Mint conditioner has a really nice fresh scent.

Come Undone
My grandma taught me this many years ago. Refreshing towels I use this trick all the time since I noticed my towels smelling funky. It works! - Over time, towels build up detergent and fabric softener, leaving them unable to absorb as much water and smelly. Recharge them by washing them once with hot water and 1cup vinegar, then a 2nd time with hot water and half cup baking soda. This strips the residue and leaves them fresh and able to absorb more water again. Works like a charm!
