I like my natural, phosphate-free laundry liquid, which is free of dyes & perfumes. However, I would like a slight natural fragrance (perhaps lavender), but don’t want to pay 3x the price for a specialty detergent. Others have fragrance oils in them, but the idea of adding oil to my laundry seems counter-productive. Is there any other natural way to add a scent to laundry detergent? (I’m thinking lavender water may work, but it’s not that strong.)
If you don’t want to put the oil in your wash cycle, try adding just a drop or two of a fragrant fabric softener. My sister does it sometimes for her work cloths (she’s a physician) and her patients love the smell…
Put the softener in the WASH cycle and it will rinse out, just leaving a "hint" of fragrance…
My daughter also does this sometimes for the babies cloths…
GOOD LUCK !!!
