We all love when our clothes smell nice, but did you know that producers add harmful fragrances to fabric softeners? These are especially dangerous for children.<\/p>\n
Experts explain that commercial softeners cause allergies, and taking into consideration their high content of chemicals, they are not that health-friendly. \u201cIf you cannot put it in your mouth, do not put it on your skin either\u201d is an old saying, and you may want to think about it next time you decide to buy a softener. Fabric softeners enter the body through the skin and cause serious damages.<\/p>\n
Therefore, avoid using chemical-loaded fabric softeners when washing your clothes, especially your children\u2019s clothes.<\/p>\n
Phthalates are added to obtain scent, and studies have shown that they harm the hormone balance in animals. Therefore, by using fabric softeners, you are not only harming your health, but also the environment.<\/p>\n

Combine water, baking soda and apple cider vinegar together. The ingredients will cause a chemical reaction, releasing bubbles all over the place.<\/p>\n Once the liquid \u201csettles,\u201d pour it into your softener tank, and make sure you use a jar, as it works best.
