DIY Laundry Scent Booster Recipe
A natural laundry scent booster made with non-toxic ingredients instead of harmful chemicals and artificial fragrances.
Servings: 1.5 cups
Cost: $1 or less
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- mixing spoon
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.
