If this still isn’t motivating you to get it all done- Let us take it off your hands!
1. Mix things up.
Make a batch of homemade laundry detergent (it only takes a few minutes).
2. Infuse with yum!
Add 10-15 drops of lavender essential oil and mix well into your detergent. Make sure to break up clumps with a fork so the oil is even distributed throughout.
3. Get clean.
Wash your clothes, bedding, linens or anything else you want to smell wonderful with two tablespoons of this lavender infused detergent.
4. Soften.
For the last step, add ¾ cup of vinegar (with a few more drops of lavender oil) during the rinse cycle. It acts as a fabric softener, which leaves your sheets fluffy and soft.
Enjoy!
