Items You Need

2 Tsp of White Vinegar
1 Tbs of Conditioner
1 Cup of Water
Funnel
Spray Bottle
Wrinkled article of clothing
Optional: 5-10 drops of any Essential Oil for scent (I used Lime)

Step 1 - Add Water

Position funnel into an empty spray bottle and carefully pour 1 cup of water into it.

Step 2 - Add White Vinegar

Add 2 teaspoons of vinegar to your bottle.

Step 3 - Add Conditioner

Squeeze a tablespoon of conditioner into measuring spoon and add to the funnel.

Since the consistency of conditioner tends to be somewhat thick, use something thin, like a toothpick to stir and gradually push through the funnel. You may add a little hot water to help push it down if needed.

Step 4 - Add an Essential Oil (Optional)

Add about 5-10 drops of any clear essential oil. I used lime but some other great options would be lavender, peppermint, Clary sage, juniper, or rosemary. This gives your clothing a nice fresh, clean scent and masks the vinegar odor.

Step 5 - Shake Vigorously!

Once all of the products are in the bottle, you will have to shake it up a lot since these products don't typically blend easily. Once your concoction is all mixed and foamy, you are ready to apply it to the wrinkled item.
