Frugal Laundry Tips
With the current financial fears amidst this uncertain economy, more people are looking for specific ways that they can save a few dollars here and there. One of the areas that you can save money on right now is in the laundry room and the best part about it is that you won’t feel as though you are going without anything.
Detergent
Whatever amount of detergent the packaging recommends, try reducing it by half. I’ve done this for twenty years and haven’t ever had a single complaint.
Fabric Softener
- For liquid fabric softeners, try cutting the amount back a bit.
- Alternatively you can cut a regular sponge into smaller pieces and soak them in fabric softener. Remove them from the liquid, squeeze and allow to dry then add them to your laundry in the dryer.
- Still another option, this one for those who use dryer sheets - cut them in half. Trust me, it still works.

I do this with my dryer sheets also, I find you can actually cut them in half or sometimes even an third and they are still effective.

I cut mine in half, I also purchase only when they are on sale.
