Alternative to fabric softener for DS's clothes

[Miss.B]

OK thanks ladies, I added about a cup of the vinegar to the large load and the clothes smell OK. I'll see how soft they are when they're dry. I'm now doing a new load, I have epsom salts so I'll try that next. I've also got some lectric soda washing powder??????? apparently you add it to the normal washing detergent and it helps to remove the grease marks and make the water softer. Anyone heard of those????

Yep Miss B thats what my MIL uses!!

[Miss.B]

Thanks lovelies! I have used the epsom salts in the second wash, the clothes seemed softer than if I didn't add anything. I'll try the lectric salts next, this is fun!!! I think my water must be hard as when nothing is added to the rinse cycle, the towels especially feel like cardboard!

I just throw a couple of drops of essential oil blend into the rinse thingy.

What essential oils do you add Kazbah?
