homemade laundry soap-Fragrance Oil in dryer question

[Guest guest]

Someone responded to the laundry soap question by adding a note that

they put fragrance oil on a washcloth, put it in the dryer and it acts

like a dryer sheet to scent the clothes. I have tried this 100

different ways and cannot get the scent to transfer to the clothing.

I have used a washcloth with EO's dropped on it, I have poured some

eco-friendly fabric softener on the washcloth and put it in the

dryer-nothing works. I like to use vinegar in the wash as a fabric

softener and have added about 5 drops of EO's. The clothes come out

of the washer smelling great, but once they are dried the scent is

gone. I have tried the heat setting, the cool setting-only line

drying seems to leave a LITTLE scent but hardly compared to when they

initally come out of the machine. How do you get the scent to

stay???? Susan

Hey Susan,

 

I am sorry you are having such trouble with this. I did not use EO's I used

a candle Fragrance Oil. I put it on a wash cloth and then put it in with the

clothes. I have also done this by putting it on a couple of the socks that

were going in the dryer. I have never used my essential oils for this.

Perhaps that is the difference, perhaps someone else can chime in. I am

sorry I can not be more helpful.

I think the fragrance oil makes the difference. It doesn't evaporate

the way EO's do. Anyway, I've given up on using EO's in the wash as

it is a waste of good product. Susan
