Simple Laundry Softener - Easy Recipes for service submissives

You've probably been told to use vinegar before, if you're a home DIYer.

Don't.   Seriously.  You'll make clothes that smell awful and mildew easily.


2 cups white distilled vinegar
4 cups conditioner (ask your Mistress what her favorite scent is - either use a generic of that, or find essential oils and use unscented)
6-12 drops of essential oil, if you didn't use scented conditioner
6 cups boiling water
1/2 cup baking soda


Bring the water to a boil (use a pot, microwave won't do it) and then put into a big metal bowl to preserve the heat and to leave room for everything else.   If you have it, a Kitchen-Aide mixer is great for this - it's what I use when I'm making it for a gift for Domme's in my life.

Mix in the baking soda first, and then the conditioner.   You may need to heat the conditioner slightly (30-40 seconds in a glass measuring cup in the microwave) if it's especially thick.   Stir thoroughly until mixed entirely.   Keep it hot, so move quickly.  If you're using the mixer, leave it on low and just leave it on the entire time. 

You may have to use a silicone spatula.  That's fine - just don't "splat" it into the bowl.  You're going to get covered like that. 

Add the essential oil if needed.   Do it AFTER the conditioner.   Seriously, it won't spread completely otherwise.   Reheat if you need to at this point, but do it gently.  Very gently. 

Pour in the vinegar.   SLOWLY.  You're mixing vinegar and baking soda - you will get bubbling. 

Again.  Pour it SLOWLY, and the other ingredients will minimize the bubbling.   Keep wisking or mixing while you do it. 

AGAIN.   Pour it SLOWLY.   You remember those lava tubes you made as a kid?  Don't turn your kitchen into one. 

Keep mixing until entirely mixed in.

Let it set. 

No, seriously.   Let it set, or you're going to have an exploding bottle.

Use a nicer bottle from a craft store for it.   You can find large, sealing bottles for cheap at those stores (or Wal-Mart or Target) and they're re-usable.  Worth the investment - re-using a plastic container for this makes for a short life for the container. 

Use a half cup per wash.

Done.  Hopefully you get "good boy", or at least some bites.

Good luck, and may the clean kitchen be with you,
