I also made mine. I followed their instructions and used the lavender along with the blood orange. The lavender was too strong, so I added lemon. Next time I will follow your advice and add just the blood orange. I put mine in with the detergent because I have a front loader. I use unscented detergent, so it added a nice smell. I use the wool laundry balls to eliminate static in the dryer. I really like the essential oil kits and can’t wait to get this months. 😃. Thank you for introducing them to us. Cindi
Kelly Thank You!! But For clarification .. I don't have a newer washer, so a bit confused ;) Do you add this at the beginning of the wash load while adding the water? Or some where where you would add the "Downy" ? . Thanks again!
SimplyJoyful This concoction produces hard water, releasing magnesium sulfate. Magnesium reacts with residual soaps and water softeners. It should be avoided.
Hi Kelly! Great receipe! Thank you! When using essential oils you will want to use metal instead of plastic. The oils transfers into the plastics, and you cant get the oils out.
Years ago I had read in a magazine that if you do a light wash of brand new dark or bright colored clothing and use salt that it would help set the color and help prevent bleeding of colors. Do you think Epsom Salts does the same thing? Does the Epsom Salts act as a softening agent as well? Thanks for the video. Diane Whiting.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt hey Frank...since you seem knowledgeable on this topic, will baking soda have the same effect? Is there another natural carrier I could put essential oils into to add to the laundry that wont make the water hard?
I tried every recipe out including this one and with either my water or my washing machine it just did not work. My husband complained for over a year until I changed back to the chemicals. I was hoping it was a new recipe so I could go back to doing my own laundry detergent and fabric softener.
Today is laundry day.. I'll be making a smaller batch of this to see how I like it. I'm out of fabric softener so this was perfect! Thank you for sharing
Going to try this one for sure, I’ve been waiting on it!! I love Citrus Scents, but the softener sheets in stores ALWAYS smell like some disgusting floral mix!! Sometimes they aren’t terrible, but when you are used to great smelling shampoo & conditioner, using a mixed floral towel right out of the shower is just....😝 Here are Alli & Kayla’s usual!! 🤗💜😘
Hi Kelly I just went and made this thanks lol.. Do you make your own dishwasher soap also? If not I'm sharing my simple recipe with you. 1c washing soda 1/4 c salt 1/2 c citric acid 40 drops lemon EO I won't go back to store bought again 😊 Belinda
Just wanted to say you're awesome! Essential oils are so versitle. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas 😊❤ Used the Murphy's oil soap the other day and it worked AMAZING!
So I made this, this weekend and my clothes smelled ok but not like the blood orange. I read this line and seen if you have an older washer to add it the time you would add fabric soften. So I will try that. I was wondering what name of oil did you use company name.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt Hey Gutowski, instead of going around trying to degrade people with your ridiculous comments, why not try being a man and educate them instead? TL: DR Don't be a d*ck.
OK Kelly as silly as this sounds with all the absolutely stunning things you’ve ever made I have to say thishis might be my favorite DIY of yours to date it is absolutely amazing I can’t wait to try mine!!! TFS!!! U are amazing!
The Center Stage Studio - Front Desk She’s clueless. Epsom salt contains magnesium which hardens water, producing soap scum. Avoid this recipe. It may be a prank!
This sounds lovely. Would live to add to a bath with another scent. I hate my hard water so much. I am loving your utube channel & signed up my hubby. He likes that your daughter's are just as creative.
Can't believe I missed this when it came out. Ghezzz. I started getting the simply earth when you first showed I. I have 2 boxes I haven't even opened. I been busy redoing and painting rooms. 🤪
It never occurred to me to use epson salt.... I use tea tree oil in ours because it helps disinfect/odor control, because I have to use allergy free soaps and I can be a bit germafobic. Lol.
Are you serious? Is this a prank? It’s magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is a hard water contaminant. Interferes with soap and detergents. Reacts with water softeners. Creates soap scum. The opposite of a booster. Completely ridiculous. It’s hard to believe you’re serious! This deserves to be featured as a YT clueless housewife classic.

You were pranked. This makes water hard. Absolutely avoid this nonsense.
Kelly Thank You!!
But For clarification ..
I don't have a newer washer, so a bit confused ;)
Do you add this at the beginning of the wash load while adding the water?
Or some where where you would add the "Downy" ? .
Thanks again!
SimplyJoyful in the older I’d add it when u add your downy
Thank You Kelly :)

Can I do this with my perfume oil?
Can't wait to give this a try. I will let you know how it comes out. Thank you I love your channel.
Hi, thank you because I didn't know they had such a thing either. I will be trying this
Kelly, great idea! Question, do the Epsom salts soften your laundry? I usually use a Snuggle scent booster pod along with my fabric softener.
It’s ridiculous. Hardens water. Produces soap scum. Avoid!!!
Hi Kelly! Great receipe! Thank you! When using essential oils you will want to use metal instead of plastic. The oils transfers into the plastics, and you cant get the oils out.
Perfect--I will try this in my laundry 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I read that epsom salts makes the water hard, the soap less effective and fades clothes.
Even though this could probably work quite well in a bath. Just epsom salts and essential oils so it should be fine for skin.
Chriscom28
Correct. She’s clueless.
We’re did you get your owl at I collect them and that one is so pretty.
I definitely going to try it! Thanks Kelly
Diy laundry soap is cheap and keeps your laundry soft. Insects hate peppermint so I use it in summer to repel insects in the diy salt fabric softener.
It’s cheap because recipes are ridiculously dilute.
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us!
You’re clueless too. Sad.
This is a real plus for me, seems my laundry has no smell. I love the smell of fresh laundry. TYFS. your a doll.
She doesn’t know what she’s doing.
I can't seem to get the scent to last through the dryer. It smells when it comes out of the washer but loses the smell while being dried.
this is pretty awesome. gotta give it a try.

It contains magnesium, a hard water contaminant. Avoid!
Hi, Kelly. I would love to try this. The oil won't stain the clothes?
Trish Hinkle the Epsom salt absorbs the oil I haven’t had any problems at all!
I'm going to try that. Thanks for sharing
Will the epsom salt not clogged the washer ?
It makes water hard. She’s clueless.

It contains magnesium, a hard water contaminant, that’s why you had problems. She’s clueless.
Hi thank you for sharing, where can I purchase the oil? ❤️
You want to buy high quality essential oils, but they're sold in many places. I usually order from Amazon.
Great idea! Can't wait to try this!
Thank you great idea
This is so amazing. Isn't .I love doing this ..I use lavender alot .. And like the coconut with the Blood Orange😱 .. Yummy 😀🌻🌵😊🌻🌵
👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍
It’s perfect for clueless housewives!!!!
Wow! That’s so easy. I don’t like the fake scents from detergent or softener, so this is perfect! Tfs
So easy to make. What name brand essential oils do you recommend? 👍
Sally Rodriguez I use simply earth essential oil I have a coupon code in the description box if your interested
Today is laundry day.. I'll be making a smaller batch of this to see how I like it. I'm out of fabric softener so this was perfect! Thank you for sharing
You should try to make your own laundry soap. All natural and it leaves clothes clean and fresh. Also budget friendly. Love your channel
Can you use any scented oils.
Awesome and super easy😊😊😂 thank u👍🏼😊
Thank you Kelly. As always great idea.👍
Terrible idea unless you’re a clueless housewife!
This is awesome & would make grate gifts! Love the bottle that you are storing it in too, so cute! tfs 💖
will this mess up or stain clothes?
Thank you so much for sharing
EPSOM SALT MAKES THE WATER HARD

Thx kelly
Can i use sea salt?
Thanks for the awesome video an amazing info love yah
I make my own laundry detergent so this is a great addition. Thank you
Avoid this. It hardens water, reacts with water softeners and soap, creating scum. She doesn’t know what she’s doing. Yet another clueless housewife.
What a great idea! I need to do this! Tfs ☺️
That a great idea TFS☺😃
Love your videos
Hi Kelly I just went and made this thanks lol..
Do you make your own dishwasher soap also? If not I'm sharing my simple recipe with you.
1c washing soda
1/4 c salt
1/2 c citric acid
40 drops lemon EO
I won't go back to store bought again 😊 Belinda
Ha. Your ‘soap’ contains no surfactants. It’s just water softeners and a filler plus a scent.
You know dollar Tree carries a great smelling laundry booster now.
what is the shelf life for it?
I tried this. My epsom salts smelled so good, but when the load was done there was no smell. Don't know what went wrong.
It contaminates everything with magnesium!
Just wanted to say you're awesome! Essential oils are so versitle. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas 😊❤ Used the Murphy's oil soap the other day and it worked AMAZING!
draviteztori yay so glad to hear that👍🏻
Love this video, I didn't know that you could make your own laundry booster!, I will be trying it out for sure, thanks so much Kelly.
Ugh! It’s not a booster. It’s a hard water contaminant, the exact opposite.
You used the laundry boost instead of fabric softener.. Does that mean it softens and removes static also?
You have beautiful children.
Thank you for sharing this awesome life hack🤗
Sabrina Pruett thank you so much
Well Kayla video had me laughing so hard that was hilarious. Had no clue the girls had a big brother.
I have always used baking soda going to try this... LOVE LOVE LOVE THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Ha. Baking soda us just a filler. This makes it hard. She’s clueless.
Can you use any scent? I really think the Love would smell amazing!! Wonder if it helps static as I don't use chemical filled dryer sheets.💕
I've heard wool dryer balls are great for this. I just ordered some and can't wait to try.

It’s a prank. Fools clueless housewives like you really easily.
So I made this, this weekend and my clothes smelled ok but not like the blood orange. I read this line and seen if you have an older washer to add it the time you would add fabric soften. So I will try that. I was wondering what name of oil did you use company name.
Another clueless housewife...ugh.

I am most definitely going to try this I cannot wait thank you so much
Well, that's simple! That stuff is outrageously priced at the store!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love essential oils.
This is so easy and cost effective. Where do you purchase the essential oil? Tfs
Linda Kelly there’s a link to simply earth in the description box ❣️😊
Kelly Barlow Creations . Thank you so much Kelly. Have a great day.
Can you add your own personal perfume instead of the oils
Are you also a clueless housewife?
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt why are you obsessed with this video? Get a life
@@yippehanako
Lol. Internet guidance counselor.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt not you still replying on here 2 years later. I guess I was right about the obsession
@@yippehanako
It’s hilarious.
KBC: You are always coming up with the BEST DIY's!! This one is GREAT...I also like the idea of use MY favorite scent-TFS!! :D
No chance of the oil transferring onto the clothes? I worry about spots of oil 😳
Teri B the Epsom salt absorbs the oil
So far, I've never had a problem. And I think my clothes, sheets, and towels have even come out cleaner.
I got the bonus box too. Can't wait to try it.
Nice video

This PRODUCES hard water! It contains magnesium.
I use Epson salt with essential oils in it .Never thought of adding more oil for a stronger smell. Ty.
Lol. You’re clueless. Contains magnesium.
I LOVE essential OILS! What's your favortie?
I really like all the citrus scents
I'm excited to try. I livte my laundry smelling fresh. Thank you. Love your videos
Fun video, thank you for sharing, I will definitely try.

Wow.. something new, Great idea! Thanks for the video
I love this idea! Absolutely going to use it. Thanks for sharing.
Lol. Clueless.
800 left to go!!! Yay!!!
Jaded I know this is killing me, lol❣️so EXCITED
Tried Google+ and it gives me a 404 error
Thanks Kelly for this video
Oh my god its really superb idea. I am so inspired .
She’s making hard water. Problems result.
Can't believe I missed this when it came out. Ghezzz. I started getting the simply earth when you first showed I. I have 2 boxes I haven't even opened. I been busy redoing and painting rooms. 🤪
Great easy idea...thanks for sharing
Can't wait to try this tfs :)
Good video, but always make sure your essential oil is skin happy.. 😉
Are you also clueless? Sounds like it!
I'm going to try this!
It never occurred to me to use epson salt.... I use tea tree oil in ours because it helps disinfect/odor control, because I have to use allergy free soaps and I can be a bit germafobic. Lol.
Don’t. She doesn’t know what she’s doing. Dissolve Epsom salt and washing soda. Watch as they produce chalk!
Wow thanks for that tip mmmmmmm gonna smell good gonna try it 👍
It’s a prank!
thank you :)
its epson salt bad for allergic people ? i mean sensitive skin .
Are you serious? Is this a prank?
It’s magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is a hard water contaminant. Interferes with soap and detergents. Reacts with water softeners. Creates soap scum. The opposite of a booster. Completely ridiculous. It’s hard to believe you’re serious!

Not only a scent booster but also a laundry softener....................
Nothing here softens fabrics.
