​Save on Dryer Sheets $$$ - February 2016

​I recently came across this SUPER simple tip ..works great and saves you A LOT of $$$$!!

You’ll need…..

A container with an airtight lid (I use a 2L food storage bowl w/screw on lid)
4-6 dish sponges (I use cheap ones in packs of 5)
2 cups fabric softener (any brand/scent - cheapest and nicest smelling you can find)
4-5 cups water

Gently stir fabric softener and water together in container

Cut sponges into 3 strips across the shortest side ..add sponges to softener/water mix and put on lid to leave soak.

To Use: squeeze out 1 sponge strip and put it in the dryer with your load of wet clothes ..when clothes are dry, put the sponge back into the container of mix.

Results: EXACTLY the same as using the expensive dryer sheets that get thrown away!!!!!

Cost: Coles Lavender fabric softeners concentrate $0.76, Coles brand sponges 5 pack $1.87, plastic screw lid container $2.00.

Keeps your clothes smelling fresh without the expense. Refill container as needed ..but that won’t be very often at all …MAYBE twice a year or less!!!

NOTE: If you use a smaller container ….just adjust mix to fill it with a ratio of 1 cup of softener to 2 cups of water (a little extra water doesn’t hurt).
