    I'm wondering if the BS grit stays in the clothes. I use it to make my laundry detergent, but that is gelled. I currently just use vinegar to soften. I love the addition of essential oils. But can you tell me the use of the baking soda. I just want to understand the properties and how they function. Ty.

    • @thefrugalhomestead7873
      @thefrugalhomestead7873  3 месяца назад

      No it does not
      Baking soda is in most laundry detergents especially the arm and Hammer brand put some on a spoon add some water watch how fast it breaks down it just lifts dirt and stains but it also softens

    Thank you for this recipe.
    I transferred this recipe to be poured into an empty Seventh generation brand fabric softener bottle. That is expensive fabric softener for sensitive skin.
    Anyway, in this homemade recipe, I used patchouli essential oil. I love the homemade fabric softener so far and it leaves the clothes so soft and fresh!

  • @RandallAIM
    @RandallAIM Год назад +23

    The problem with this is that vinegar and baking soda cancel each other out. Baking soda has a pH of 8.4 (alkaline). Vinegar has a pH of 2.4 to 3.4 (acid), depending on the concentration of the acetic acid, which normally varies from 5-10% for most vinegar that you will purchase in the store.
    When you mix the two, you create a chemical reaction that creates Sodium Acetate (NaC2H3O2), which is a salt, and H2CO3, which is CO2 and water (Carbonic Acid, similar to a carbonate beverage). The H2CO3 effect will be quickly lost in the water and you will be left with mostly salt - Sodium Acetate. Better to use only vinegar and essential oil. Baking soda can be added to the wash cycle if you have hard water. The vinegar in the rinse cycle will help to remove any soap residue (if you are using commercial soap).

    • @thefrugalhomestead7873
      @thefrugalhomestead7873  Год назад +7

      It doesn't mix completely and it's not as black and white as you're putting it. But sodium acetate has been used in the past for cleaning and softening principles in wool. Which is why it works. That said we have another video on a different kind that addresses your exact remarks about this one

    • @Nondas8552
      @Nondas8552 Год назад

      the salt will be diluted by water and form vinegar and a strong base (CH3COONa +H2O = CHECOOH + NaOH) so if its diluted its better than scented vinegar.

      If you value your health, don't use Cologne/perfume. It's usually full of toxic chemicals.☠️⚠️ ...and it's toxic for anyone breathing it😬
      Companies don't need to disclose what they put in artificial fragrances because it's covered under a "proprietary formula". There's over 300 chemicals that could be in that, including things like formaldehyde and benzene, and a long list of other toxic chemicals and petroleum derivatives.
