I love all of your rants❤. You make me laugh and always make my day better. I’m not exaggerating !!! I’m a female disabled Veteran and you’re one of my absolute favorite channels. Thank You!!!
Love it, so clever! I thought, "is she going to dry all of those in the oven to make actual "sheets" (think Bounce sheets) 🤣. Well done, something else fun to explore. Thank you!!
I’ve been trying the wool dryer balls with essential oil drops on them. They are definitely better than store bought dryer sheets and save us a lot of money not having to buy dryer sheets. I may try this also. Awesome video. Thank you!
Love this! I ditched the regular dryer sheets a while back when l found my natural health store started carrying chemical free all natural sheets. But I’m still throwing them away. Glad to know l can make my own and l already have everything in my house to do it…yay!
I don't comment often but I want you to know that I really love and appreciate you doing all of the "dupes" of various products. I wonder if you know of anything that would be similar to febreeze fabric refresher? I would love that.
Thank you!!! I was trying to figure out a dryer sheet solution! I use fragrance oils from nature's garden. As for the " get on with it"... we're here for your personality. Ramble and rant as much as you want, we're here for it!
How did you use it? Did you use it as a fabric softner or as dryer sheets? I want to try it, but I feel that if I use it as a dryer sheet, my clothes will have a vinegar scent.
I love watching your videos! If you ever get to the west coast, get a hold of me and you can come over for a cup of coffee. 😎 I was wondering if you use this with your towels and does it do the kind of waxy coating that regular softener sheets can. I don't normally soften my towels but if this still leaves them absorbent, I would.
Oh my goodness… I just found your channel on my YT feed! ❤ Thank you for all the good info and advice! Had to chuckle a bit at the 100 year old lady house comment cuz… yeah it’s a thing. Unfortunately for me, being extremely sensitive to scents as well… less is more for me. So 😊 glad to subscribe to your channel.
Estual oils i can never smell in my laundry i just qwit using them like i said just use the vinagar for me thanks for sharing love youre tips and videos
I love the combo of lavender/vanilla! Also, have you ever noticed if the glycerin leaves oily stains behind on the clothing? Just curious. Another great video (as always)!
I really cannot get enough of your videos! I have learned so much from you!!!! You and your husband are sweet and can make me laugh! I hope you never change!! Ty fo this recipe
You're so awesome...you've saved me so much time researching. thanks again. I can't get azure up here so I just ordered the veggie glycerin from Amazon. Definitely need some lovely scent for some of our clothes. I have to be careful which oils I use though since hubby injured his nose years ago(he had very little cartilage left in it). Doc warned me after his surgery that he'd be sensitive to scent..but wow, he can use the strong smelling deodorants but one drop of EO and he's screaming mad at me with an instant headache.
I am newer to the DIY cleaning products in my household..... I just used this this fabric softener this weekend and am not getting any scent at all from it. I used used the rag in the dryer method.... I used a pretty potent sandalwood EO. Help any suggestions to try I am really looking forward to the scent on clothes.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help. I will definitely try that. You have an great channel and an awesome energy! Keep being you!
I look at where they are made, reviews and price. I love fabulous frannue because it hits all the marks for me. I make nothing off of promoting them. I really love their oil.
I love this and just ordered glycerine to make some! BUT--my question is...why do you have so many cloths in the jar when you'll only be using one?! 🤔 😆 🤔
I actually hate the smell of chemical smells from certain laundry products. But since I got away from artificial perfumes I find that when others who use it are near me, it’s very sickening at the strength of it. I don’t think people realize how over smelly they are. Great video!! Do you have a recipe for a scented spray like fabreeze?
Thanks for your recipes. I do love a nice fragrance. Speaking of which - a friend gifted me Buff City Narcissist laundry soap. I recently washed my quilted bed cover and blanket using it. And I enjoyed the fragrance - just enough to notice, but not over powering. Have you used Narcissist fragrance oil, or do u have a recipe for it. Thanks
I love vinegar based foods--pickles, bbq sauce, sweet and sour, etc. but hate the smell for cleaning. Is there an alternative? Witch hazel, maybe? Less vinegar (although I can still smell it)? Diluted aloe vera gel? I think those ingredients would still be ok for softening clothes and wouldn't stain nor degrade the fibers in your clothes. What say you and commenters.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa yep. I make my own lemon extract with vodka and lemon peel. I assume I would need to use more, but there wouldn't be a negative that I am not thinking of would there?
Not all are derived from coconuts, there are several other sources. You can read the labels or call the manufacturer. We have allergies in our house too. Hope this helps 🥰
I always do lemon, lavender, tea tree and a touch of peppermint. If you want more basic lemon and tea tree are a great clean combo. More lemon than tea tree.
I make this but have never put glycerin in it. does it help the EOs stay combined with vinegar and water? Oil and water don't stay mixed and I'd love it if the glycerin kept them combined. Also, I recycled my daughter's baby washcloths to use as dryer sheets. They work perfect!
Quick question…can this be used on clothes that are flame retardant? My sister’s husband and son have work clothes that are flame retardant and she can’t use any regular fabric softener on this particular fabric.
I hadn’t thought about this. I just looked it up and they don’t recommend anything to soften the fabric be used at all. It messes with the fiber tightness and can add a layer to the fabric to prevent it from working correctly. For this reason I’m still going to say that I would avoid it. Sorry! Just want to be safe.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thank you. She did tell me that regular fabric softener does damage the flame retardant stuff that is in the fabrics if used on them & I ask about that before suggesting this to her. Thanks again for letting me know.
Oooo, I think I’m going to try coordinating my laundry detergent and fabric softener scents. P.s. I’ve been commenting a lot lately because I really and truly enjoy your content and presentation style. Soooo helpful!!!
It's 12:20am & I should be asleep, but I binge watch TH-cam videos until I crash. I try to watch things I can learn from. Sooo glad I found you! I'm a stay at homer due to a spinal condition & I have lots of time on my hands. I'm definitely going to do a lot of what you're sharing! I subscribed! ❤
Awesome stain Remover 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp dish soap 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide Mix all ingredients together and apply with a toothbrush to the stain rubbing it into the cloth with medium pressure. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Wash in warm or hot water. Inspect and if the stain is still there repeat. Dry when satisfied with results.
@@joannevans8278 according to the "recipe" that I have you need to make it up when you need it. I suspect the Hydrogen Peroxide doesn't keep well once mixed.
You are just too much! So real, " you can't just create crazy scents.". If I could, buttered popcorn like the jelly belly jelly beans! What about Sandalwood for fall or winter. Oh my. About that vanilla thing.... My ex husband; I had a body wash that was so lovely to me... Vanilla. He said. Can you not wear that scent?! Oh but he loved Victoria Secret's Eau de cologne spray 1990's! He said I entrapped him. LOL. Continue to be so home real.
Hey there! I recently found your channel and I'm loving your recipes! I had a quick question though. Can I use soap fragrance oils instead of essential oils? I'm a bit worried about using essential oils in case they cause any reactions, but since fragrance oils are made for skin, I thought they might be a safer option. What do you think? @littlehillhomestead
Quick question... I hope. Lol What's the difference between vegetable glycerin and food grade glycerin? I have vegetable glycerin, so that's why I'm asking. ❤️
This channel is essential in these times. Not only are you saving people money but it is also helping eliminate toxic crap these companies push 😂
Thank you!!!!☺️
I love laundry. All of it. I live alone and do a load daily.
I love all of your rants❤. You make me laugh and always make my day better. I’m not exaggerating !!! I’m a female disabled Veteran and you’re one of my absolute favorite channels. Thank You!!!
Just made this using vanilla and mango oils smell divine
Love it, so clever! I thought, "is she going to dry all of those in the oven to make actual "sheets" (think Bounce sheets) 🤣. Well done, something else fun to explore. Thank you!!
That could be fun 😂
You, ma'am, are a hoot! Keep up the good work. And great ideas too.
This channel just popped up on my feed and I have to say I love your personality!! ❤ new follower!
Yay! Thank you! ☺️
Lemon clove is also a good scent
Cool thing is, you can buy all of this with your state food cards. EBT ECT. Just use all edible safe oils. Found in spices and baking isles usually.
I love this. We did this year and years ago when we first got married.
I love using just vinagar in my rinse cycle
I have tried these and love them. Will continue making them.
I’ve been trying the wool dryer balls with essential oil drops on them. They are definitely better than store bought dryer sheets and save us a lot of money not having to buy dryer sheets. I may try this also. Awesome video. Thank you!
Love this! I ditched the regular dryer sheets a while back when l found my natural health store started carrying chemical free all natural sheets. But I’m still throwing them away. Glad to know l can make my own and l already have everything in my house to do it…yay!
I had to comment once you once you put down the measuring cup with the glycerin and slide your finger around 😅 nothing wasted. Thats what I would do
I don't comment often but I want you to know that I really love and appreciate you doing all of the "dupes" of various products. I wonder if you know of anything that would be similar to febreeze fabric refresher? I would love that.
I do have one! I’ll get it posted for you soon.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa I'm interested in that as well. I look forward to seeing your video with that recipe. Thank you.
Thank you Ali...Love this i will be making my own fabric Softener & dryer Sheets from now own!

Thank you ❤️
I get vegetable glycerin in the pharmacy department at walmart. Yes, it can be used as a laxative.
This is amazing! Made it today and immediately used it in my laundry. Very impressed!
Great to hear!
How did you use it? Did you use it as a fabric softner or as dryer sheets? I want to try it, but I feel that if I use it as a dryer sheet, my clothes will have a vinegar scent.
@@ogarcia777vinegar smell disappears
I like that you added glycerin...its not only a humectant...its an emulsifier that allows the oils to blend/suppend into the water.
Exactly.
I love this idea, and you totally crack me up!
Vanilla is my favorite scent!
I love your ideas! Can you do a video on furniture fabric refreshers?
I use our Febreeze on my fabric. Have you seen that video yet? I think it came out yesterday
Thanks for these tips on laundry I'm going to use the fabric dryer sheets the next wash load
I don't care for vanilla but, my husband loves it. I love more of a sweet woodsy smell.
I love the smell of vinagar it disapates overtime and i dont smell after using in my laundry and wash
I love watching your videos! If you ever get to the west coast, get a hold of me and you can come over for a cup of coffee. 😎 I was wondering if you use this with your towels and does it do the kind of waxy coating that regular softener sheets can. I don't normally soften my towels but if this still leaves them absorbent, I would.
I use hot water and my towels are perfect with it. We hope to be out that way again next year. I’ll hit you up!
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Do you rinse your towels in hot water - is that what you are saying?? Ty!
This is so interesting. I have the ingredients as I make extracts with vegetable glycerin
Does this fabric softener work well with the scents in your laundry soap with cedar wood and cardamom?
Typically I make them the same scent group. I have a little leftover that will work with each one but these wouldn’t work well together you are right!
Cool, I'll try this without any scent. Thanks
👋👋 Just came across your channel-subscribed. I watched this laundry series 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you!

Estual oils i can never smell in my laundry i just qwit using them like i said just use the vinagar for me thanks for sharing love youre tips and videos
Vanilla and sandalwood❤
I watched twice but i keep miseing how much glycerine did you use please. Love your videos Sue from Australia.
The recipe is in the description.
I love this idea, but I do have one question. Will these “dryer sheets” leave a coating on the lint screen like regular dryer sheets do?
Hmm? I haven’t noticed anything.
I love all your videos. I've been watching and rewatching taking notes
I love the combo of lavender/vanilla! Also, have you ever noticed if the glycerin leaves oily stains behind on the clothing? Just curious. Another great video (as always)!
I haven’t but I use hot water and the deep fill mode.
I really cannot get enough of your videos! I have learned so much from you!!!! You and your husband are sweet and can make me laugh! I hope you never change!! Ty fo this recipe
Thank you so much!! ☺️ so sweet of you.
Such a cool ideal, was thinking of using using an ice tea jug with a spout at the bottom?
Great idea!
Given how fabric softener is a dumpster fire for washing machines, and dryer sheets aren’t exactly cheap, this is perfect
I love all your videos. You are my go to channel😊
Wow, thank you!
You're so awesome...you've saved me so much time researching. thanks again. I can't get azure up here so I just ordered the veggie glycerin from Amazon. Definitely need some lovely scent for some of our clothes. I have to be careful which oils I use though since hubby injured his nose years ago(he had very little cartilage left in it).

My hubby is the same way!
May I ask what brand you bought from amazon? I’ve not seen “food” grade on labels very confusing thank you
Can you use homemade fruit vinegars instead of white vinegar?
I honestly haven’t tried it yet. Maybe try a small test batch.
Oh my goodness, love this . Thank you so much.
Does this help with static? Any tips on that?
It does! The vinegar takes it away.
I am newer to the DIY cleaning products in my household..... I just used this this fabric softener this weekend and am not getting any scent at all from it. I used used the rag in the dryer method.... I used a pretty potent sandalwood EO. Help any suggestions to try I am really looking forward to the scent on clothes.
You might try adding a couple more drops of essential oil . I add mine into a downy ball and find that works for stronger scent.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help. I will definitely try that. You have an great channel and an awesome energy! Keep being you!
I see it thx
How do I know what a (good quality) essential oil is? What am I looking for when buying?
I look at where they are made, reviews and price. I love fabulous frannue because it hits all the marks for me. I make nothing off of promoting them. I really love their oil.
Thank you so much. May Gid bless you always 😊
I love this❤ thank u for sharing!
I love this and just ordered glycerine to make some!
BUT--my question is...why do you have so many cloths in the jar when you'll only be using one?! 🤔 😆 🤔
ETA: I just discovered you and yes--I subscribed!
If I do a bunch of loads on the same day I like to have a few pre soaked.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Oh, that makes sense. I never thought of that! 🤦🏻♀️
Love this!!! 🎉

Great video!!
Do you have a recipe for a scented spray like fabreeze?
Making the video today! It will post soon
Do you think we could soak our wool dryer balls in it? 🤔
Maybe dip them first to see how much liquid they hold. I have some tucked in a cabinet I’ll have to pull down and try out
Hey 👋🏽 you said you get it from where
Which item?
The recipe is in the description and we often link things there.
Thank you
I like your rants
Thanks Helen.
Thanks for your recipes. I do love a nice fragrance. Speaking of which - a friend gifted me Buff City Narcissist laundry soap. I recently washed my quilted bed cover and blanket using it. And I enjoyed the fragrance - just enough to notice, but not over powering. Have you used Narcissist fragrance oil, or do u have a recipe for it. Thanks
I’m actually working on it right now for another viewer. I’m trying to get some so that I can compare it to what I make. Hopefully soon!
I get you. I love the smell of lavender, but, too much smells medicinal.
I love vinegar based foods--pickles, bbq sauce, sweet and sour, etc. but hate the smell for cleaning. Is there an alternative? Witch hazel, maybe? Less vinegar (although I can still smell it)? Diluted aloe vera gel? I think those ingredients would still be ok for softening clothes and wouldn't stain nor degrade the fibers in your clothes. What say you and commenters.
I don’t notice it in this combo but I’m with you that it is overwhelming.
Really like this idea. Thanku ❤
QUESTION, I know there must be a very good reason but why can't you replace essential oils with extracts?
Oil based vs alcohol based.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa yep. I make my own lemon extract with vodka and lemon peel. I assume I would need to use more, but there wouldn't be a negative that I am not thinking of would there?
There is a coconut allergy in my home so is there an alternative to glycerin since it is derived from coconut oils.😊
Not all are derived from coconuts, there are several other sources. You can read the labels or call the manufacturer.
We have allergies in our house too. Hope this helps 🥰
What oils would you combine for a fresh smell like your sheets smell hanging on the line
I always do lemon, lavender, tea tree and a touch of peppermint. If you want more basic lemon and tea tree are a great clean combo. More lemon than tea tree.

It does help with that!!!! Plus it makes the clothes even softer.
What about static? Does this method stop static like the dryer sheets do?
Sort of. It does but not 100% like the other ones
Awesome

My husband’s favorite is vanilla coconut! But we have had the hardest time finding those essential oils in our town.
No Azure drop close to me. Where can I find food grade glycerin? The Natural grocers here doesn’t say food grade 😥
Amazon has some. Azure does ship!
@@LittleHillHomesteadGathank you
How much of the glycerin do you use I didn't hear you say
1/4 cup.
How much Veg Glycerin?
1/4 cup. 😉

Why food grade glycerine?
Anything that touches our skin can be absorbed into our system.
I’m really enjoying the hacks. It’s just me and my fiancé, so we don’t do large batches of anything ❤you have inspired me to think about it❤
Love this! Will share with my neighbours in my apartment building. 😊

Ha ha, you need to find that vanilla again for yourself! I love jelly belly popcorn. 🍿
Why food grade, I buy organic for my business.
My theory is if it sits on my skin I want it to be something I would also eat. Just a personal preference
why glycerine??? unecessary
It acts as a conditioner to further soften the clothes.
