Fabric Softener for the Rinse Cycle
I've really enjoyed our homemade dryer sheets.
I discovered that I like the same recipe even better in the rinse cycle.
2 cups water
1 cup vinegar
2/3 cup of any hair conditioner
Stir together. (Don't shake.)
Add not even 1/4 cup (I don't know exactly cause I eyeball it) per load of laundry. I calculated my cost at less than 1/2 cent per load!

Perfect answer to an unspoken need. I have an extra bottle of hair condition I was needing to find a use for. Do you put the softener in one of those Downey balls?
@georgene - My washer has a compartment for the fabric softener. A Downey ball would work fine or you could just listen for the rinse cycle. You can also soak a rag in the solution, ring it out and throw it in the dryer. (Homemade dryer sheet.)
