Introduction:
Ever wonder why your freshly washed clothes don’t smell as fresh as you’d like? Commercial detergents often leave behind synthetic fragrances that fade quickly or don’t smell clean at all. Over time, buildup in your washer or hard water can also contribute to dull laundry scents. This DIY natural laundry scent booster not only enhances the aroma of your laundry but also keeps things chemical-free and customizable to your preference.
Ingredients:
2 cups Epsom salt (acts as a fragrance carrier)
½ cup baking soda (helps neutralize odors)
20-30 drops essential oil (lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, or your favorite blend)
Optional: 2 tbsp dried herbs or flowers (like dried lavender or rose petals) for visual appeal and a natural touch
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the Epsom salt and baking soda until well combined.
Add your chosen essential oils drop by drop, stirring constantly to evenly distribute the fragrance.
If using, gently fold in the dried herbs or flowers.
Store the mixture in an airtight jar or container. Let it sit for 24 hours before first use to allow the fragrance to fully infuse.
