OK, confession…I never use dryer sheets because 1. I’m cheap and 2. I use cloth diapers and they are a NO NO, and not using them makes it less confusing for hubs. But since I stumbled on this super easy, and inexpensive way to make Never Ending dryer sheets using liquid fabric softener and sponges I’m hooked.
These DIY dryer sheets are so easy to make and will last you a really long time, maybe not a never ending time, but a long time.
DIY Dryer Sheets
Here’s what you will need:
-
1 cup of your favorite liquid fabric softener
-
2 cups of water
-
4 cheapo sponges
-
Resealable container to store liquid and sponges in
How to do it:
-
Mix 1 cup liquid fabric softener and 2 cups water in container.
-
Cut your sponges in half and add them to container.
-
Let the sponges soak in liquid until you are ready to use them. When ready to use grab a sponge and let excess fabric softener drip off and toss into your dryer with your clothes.
-
Once your laundry is dry remove sponge and put it back into the container so you can use it another time.
So easy right? And the best part is that they work wonderfully. I used the dryer sponges on my kids laundry last night, and their clothes came out smelling really good and better yet NO STATIC. Like I said earlier I usually do not use fabric softener, but with Winter being here in CNY and the dry air our clothes have been more stat-icky than usual and these dryer sponges are going to be a life saver.
ENJOY!
