Hungarian Linen
Is there a way that I can soften clothes without fabric softener?
My mum is a huge ecological person and so doesn’t use fabric softener except when necessary, just regular eco-friendly washing powder when washing clothes, and she doesn’t dry clothes in the drier but she hangs them up on the washing line in our garden.
Anyway, this doesn’t bother me, except when my gorgeous linen hungarian blouse isn’t the same after she washed it. It is now all stiff and feels horrible to touch, it goes through me. Is there any way that I can get the fabric back to it’s usual soft and light feeling? Could I like, bathe it in fabric softener and water, would that work?
Any ideas would be lovely, thankyou. I don’t know a lot about washing clothes, so any help would be great xx
You could ask mom if she would at least use 1/2 cup of vinegar in the rinse water. That’s natural. It may help soften up your blouse. It won’t smell of it once dried. But, you could do what you say. Put your wet blouse in a basin that has water and softener in it. Only use a tsp. or so of softener in a basin of water. But, to be honest. Even though I do use softener, the clothes I hang out to dry are still a bit stiff. That’s why I always put towels in the dryer.
