How can I soften my clothes?
- White Vinegar: Add 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. It helps to break down detergent residues and soften the fabric.
- Baking Soda: Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the wash cycle. Baking soda softens water and fabric, enhancing the texture of linen.
- Dryer Balls: Use wool dryer balls instead of fabric softeners in the dryer. They help to naturally soften the linen and reduce static.
- Essential Oils: Add a few drops of essential oils, such as lavender or eucalyptus, to the rinse cycle or to wool dryer balls for a pleasant scent and added softness.
