Today’s Super Mommy, Allison shared with us they way she saves a lot of money on dryer sheets, but keeps her laundry smelling nice and feelin’ soft.
Allison told me to grab a bottle of my favorite Fabric Softener (mine is Downy–her fav? Gain) and pour it into a sealable container.
Pardon my choice of container. My dad gave me a old 5 gallon bucket, but after scrubbing on it… and scrubbing and scrubbing, I discovered that it had a crack in the bottom! Now that would not be a GOODe thing… so I took one of my facilitator boxes and improvised 🙂
Then wring them out and toss ’em in with your unsorted clothes (ha!–don’t recommend the unsorted thing, it is just how we Goodes roll sometimes 😉 ).
Big thanks to Allison for sharing her Super Mommy Secret!
Do you have a Super Mommy Secret to share? We’d love to hear about it! You can send it to us here.

Great idea! My boyfriend's clothes never smell fresh no matter what I use since he works in a chemical plant. Going to give this a try!

I LOVE this idea! Thanks Cris and Allison! One of my biggest pet peeves is how much softner costs and hot quickly it is gone…so this is perfect for me! 🙂
Lana says
I usually pour mine in the softener thingy at the top of my washer, but I'm game to try something new.

Great idea!!!
We quit using softener sheets for a long time after we had Adam (super sensitive skin) and never really noticed a difference. But I've been using them again because I like the smell. 🙂
Andrea says
Wow! I have really never heard of this idea or anything like it! Excellent! I can't wait to try it out. 🙂
