I have had more than one washing machine repairman tell me that commercial fabric softener is their ‘dream product’ as it stuffs your machine and pipes! I now mix half water with half white vinegar in a 1 litre bottle, add 1 teaspoon of eucalyptus oil and few drops of your favourite essential oil. Shake up, and use in the fabric softener compartment. So cheap and clothes smell lovely. The bonus is the white vinegar solution also cleans your machine and pipes!
