 How to make clothes softer

There's absolutely nothing like the feeling of grabbing a freshly washed blanket from the dryer, or putting on your favorite sweatshirts and feeling the softness of the fabric on your skin . But sometimes your laundry doesn't come out as soft as you'd like it to be, mostly because of detergent and mineral residue in the water. Fabric softeners you buy from the supermarket can soften clothes, however the cost of these products adds up and they often contain strong ingredients or odors. Instead, you can soften your clothes with inexpensive products that you probably already have in your cabinets.
