Tuesday, June 11, 2013Greetings Thrifty Friends,
Dryer sheets are expensive. Worse, they are loaded with a mixture of synthetic chemicals that can cling to your clothes and be absorbed through your skin. There is a cheaper and healthier alternative to make your clothes soft and static free.
Keep pinchin' those pennies,

*****TODAY'S THRIFTY TIP: Try Vinegar
Instead of dryer sheets add 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar or 1/4 cup baking soda to your laundry. Vinegar is great at removing odors and the distinctive scent will be gone by the rinse cycle. If you want your clothes to have that dryer sheet scent...spray a small piece of cloth with an essential oil and toss it in your dryer.
BONUS TIP: The mold killer
Have you ever washed a load of clothes and forgotten to dry them? I have. A pile of wet clothes sitting in a closed, dark place for eight or twelve hours will lead to one thing...mold. Sometimes even detergent won't take out that smell.
But there is a simple way to get rid of that musty, moldy odor...put a cup of white vinegar in the hottest water you can use with maybe a few drops of laundry soap and run the load through the washing machine. Vinegar has a slight acidity which acts like a disinfectant. Works like a charm to get rid of the funky smell.
