How to make DIY laundry dryer sheets

An easy natural alternative.
  • 16 Oct 2019

Looking for a natural alternative to dryer sheets? Try this all natural anti-bacterial and fragrant alternative.

You’ll need a plastic container, sponges, natural hair conditioner, tea tree oil and lavender essential oil.

Step 1

Cut the sponges so they fit your container. Pop these smaller pieces into the container as well.

Step 2

Fill your container about half-way up with water.

Step 3

Add about 2 tablespoons of conditioner into the water, whisk to combine.

Step 4

Then add 1 teaspoon each of tea-tree oil (a natural anti-bacterial agent) and lavender essential oil for its calming fragrance. Whisk again.

Step 5

Place your sponges into the container. Store in a cool, dry spot until you need to use them.

Step 6

Squeeze out the excess water then toss one into the dryer with your laundry. And you’re done.

You won’t believe how soft and scented your laundry will be.
