Original Recipe
6c. Vinegar
1c. Water
1c. Baking Soda
15 drops lemon or lemongrass Essential Oil
Combine all ingredients in a heavy-duty plastic container. Add 1 cup to the rinse cycle of each load for truly lemon-fresh clothes.
What I actually did (I didn't have the gallon container, I only had a 32oz. bottle)
1 c. Vinegar
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp baking soda
6 drops lemongrass Essential Oil
Can someone please tell me the best way to mix this without causing volcanic activity? Again, I started with the water and baking soda then added the vinegar. When all was said and done I added another cup of vinegar and a cup of water because most of the stuff bubbled out and I pretty much gave up. Ultimately I ended up with enough for 4 uses. It smells fantastic and I will definitely try it again when I have an open gallon container that I can use.
As with the Orange Glow I mixed up a couple of weeks ago the scent does not carry over after being dried in the dryer. Maybe line drying will yield a more fragrant result.
