Equipment
- 1 gallon glass container glass bottle or a glass dispenser with a spigot
- Measuring Cups
- Whisk or stirring utensil
Ingredients
- 1 gallon bottle of white vinegar
- ¼ cup all-natural hair conditioner (I use doTERRA brand for a clean, gentle formula)
- 20 drops doTERRA Wild Orange Essential Oil
- 20 drops doTERRA Bergamot Essential Oil
- 20 drops doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil
Instructions
Combine conditioner and vinegar:
- In a measuring cup, add ¼ cup of natural hair conditioner to 1¾ cups of white vinegar. Whisk or stir until fully combined and smooth.
Pour into container:
- Transfer the vinegar mixture into your 1-gallon glass jar with a spigot.
Add essential oils:
- Add 20 drops each of doTERRA Wild Orange, Bergamot, and Lemon Essential Oils. These oils combine beautifully for a clean, citrusy scent that naturally uplifts and deodorizes.
Top up with vinegar:
- Fill the rest of the jar with distilled vinegar, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Mix well:
- Stir or gently shake the fabric softener dispenser to combine the contents. The mixture may settle between uses — give it a few good shakes or stir before each use.
