How to Add Scented Oils to Laundry Detergent

Use 15 to 30 drops of scented oil when mixing it with your regular laundry detergent. The exact amount you use will depend on your own preference and how strong you want the smell.

Add two parts lavender scented oil and one part vanilla oil for a sweet, flower smell.

Add equal parts eucalyptus and peppermint scented oils for a minty scent.

Put two parts lemon oil, one part lemongrass oil and one part chamomile oil into the bottle of detergent for a lemon-herb blend.

Combine two parts lavender and one part rosemary oil and add it to the detergent for a flowery scent.

Add equal parts sweet orange and lemon oil for a citrus smell. Another citrus blend is to mix equal parts tea tree, lemongrass and lemon oils into the detergent.

Put 15 to 30 drops of any single scented oil such as lavender, rosemary, vanilla, geranium, lemon or tea tree into the bottle of detergent to achieve that one specific scent.

Put the lid on the bottle of detergent once the oils are added. Shake up the bottle for a minute or two to thoroughly distribute the oils into the detergent.
