DIY Laundry Scent Booster

A natural laundry scent booster made with non-toxic ingredients instead of harmful chemicals and artificial fragrances.
5 minutes
Servings: 1.5 cups

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • mixing spoon
  • glass jar with lid

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Kosher salt or Epsom salts
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 30 drops essential oils

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
