Vinegar
So, we’ve established that you shouldn’t be using fabric softener anymore. But detergent on its own isn’t going to make your laundry smell as fresh and be super soft. So what’s a good alternative to the chemical-ridden softener? Well, it’s everyone’s favourite natural cleaning agent: vinegar! Vinegar is a true miracle product: you can use it for so many different things and it’s completely natural as well. Besides vinegar, you could choose to add a little ammonia as well.
Washing
Add a cup of vinegar with a splash of ammonia to your laundry. Pour it into the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine and just pour your regular amount of laundry detergent into its own compartment. The ammonia will make sure that the laundry detergent won’t stick to the fabric of the clothes or towels, while the vinegar does the same thing but for the minerals. Together, these two ingredients will definitely make sure your laundry will come out perfectly soft and fresh-smelling. If you don’t want to use ammonia, you can also very easily just use the vinegar, without the ammonia added to it. Whatever you do, just don’t use fabric softener!
