Equipment
- Flannel Cloth Wipes with Dispenser
Materials
- 2 cups white distilled vinegar
- 1/4 cup all-natural hair conditioner unscented or lightly scented
- 25-30 drops of your favorite essential oil like doTERRA Eucalyptus, Lemon, or Lavender Need Oils?
Instructions
- Fold flannel cloths. See instructions in blog.
- In the dispenser/container, combine 2 cups of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of all-natural hair conditioner, and 25-30 drops of your favorite essential oil. Whisk until the mixture is fully blended.
- Soak the flannel cloths by placing your pieces of fabric into the dispenser. Push stack of cloths down to absorb the liquid, remove, flip over and resubmerge the stack of cloths to ensure even absorption.
How to Use
- When you’re ready to dry a load of laundry, take one or two flannel sheets, wring out the excess moisture (if necessary), and toss it into the dryer with your wet laundry.
Reusing the Sheets
- After use, return the flannel cloths to the dispenser and re-soak them in the mixture for the next round. Easy, sustainable, and effective!
Notes
Pro Tip: Attach a few safety pins to one of the flannel cloths before tossing it in the dryer. The metal of the safety pins naturally discharges static electricity, making it a simple and chemical-free way to combat static cling.
