Fabric Softener and Dishwasher Rinse Aid

Are you ready for this?  It is so simple, cheap, and no work is required to make it...

Vinegar!

Just add it to your washer where you would fabric softener as well as in your rinse aid compartment in your dishwasher.  No- your clothes and dishes will not taste or smell like vinegar.  I promise.  I ran across this because even my 'natural' fabric softener was leaving spots on my clothes.  After some research this is actually what the washing machine people (whoever they are) want you to use!  It is because fabric softeners have paraffin (wax) in them which builds up in the fabric softener compartment and causes issues.

So go to Costco (or wherever you shop) and switch over to this non toxic, super simple cleaner today!

Ps. If you have child with asthma sometimes a simple fix is to change to perfume free, non toxic detergent and fabric softener.  I will have a recipe for detergent coming soon but for now change the fabric softener.  The less toxins and chemicals they breath in the less irritated their lungs are.  It is not a fix for every child but it will help them no matter what.  I have heard some people have miraculous changes by just making this switch.
