When I am making soap, just like lots of us, I use towels to wipe out the bowls, let the soap saponify and then throw those towels together with my laundry in the washing machine. I love how nice smelling all my laundry comes out. Although, I did ruin several white t-shirts with micas while doing it
So I got an idea to make drier sheet. Hardware stores sell cotton unwoven towels, that can be easily cut in small pieces. I was thinking of making 100% coconut HP soap with EO, then dipping those towels in it, letting it dry, and throwing to the washing machine and to the drier with my laundry. Theoretically, I can go higher on EOs. If I do sodium hydroxide HP soap, EO should not degrade too much. I was thinking of just putting several drops of EO straight in the washing machine, but adding oil to laundry doesn't seem right, and it can not be added to the drier.
I am wondering if anybody did anything like this. What can go wrong? Any ideas/suggestions/criticism... are greatly appreciated
Just have to add, that nobody in my family has allergies to FO, but I don't like how strong commercial drier sheets smell. Plus, they are synthetic and non-reusable.
