EO's in the wash/rinse cycle?

[sweetirishCT]

Wondering what you use and how much, I so far about 5-6 drops of lavendar for reg wash, a dozen or so drops of tto for dipes. What are some other great ideas for nice smelling laundry w/o fabric softeners?

That is exactly what I do, I add about 5 drops of Lavender for the regular wash.

I can never catch my washer starting the rinse, lol, so I just put a bit of eo onto a cloth wipe and toss it into the dryer with everything else. Works great.

I have a softener dispenser in my FL, so I just put the drops there. What EO's do you use?

What do you all think about some of the combo EO's that Aura Cacia makes?

I like geranium, it leaves the laundry with a faint rose scent. I don't buy eo's retail cuz I can get them wholesale so I have never tried AC's blends. It's fun to just make your own anyway.

It sounds weird but try blending a touch of almond eo with florals, it is very nice.

Thanks, that sounds nice. I will try the geranium with my next Frontier order. I would never be able to afford all the different EO's on my shelf if it were not for coops, so I am loving the wholesale discount!
