DIY Laundry Scent Booster
A natural laundry scent booster made with non-toxic ingredients instead of harmful chemicals and artificial fragrances.
Servings: 1.5 cups
mixing bowl
mixing spoon
glass jar with lid
- 1 1/2 cups Kosher salt or Epsom salts
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 30 drops essential oils
Thoroughly mix the essential oils into the salt. (Be sure to mix the salt and essential oils before adding the baking soda. Otherwise, the liquid might active the baking soda.)
Then add the baking soda and stir until well mixed.
Store in a covered glass jar. Let the mixture sit for a day to allow the scent to infuse into salt and baking soda. If it doesn’t smell strong enough, you can add a few more drops of essential oils.
Add the laundry booster directly to the drum of your washing machine or use the fabric softener dispenser if you prefer.
Use between 2 tablespoons and 1/4 cup per load.
This recipe is safe for top load, front load and HE washers.
A repurposed scoop from laundry detergent is the perfect size for adding scent booster to washing machine.
