Running out of fabric softener many times and consulting a number of do it yourself guides has lead to me developing an extremely cheap and effective fabric softener.
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup baking soda
1 liter hot water.
Using a washed out pop bottle works good with this recipe, as does using an empty fabric softner bottle that holds at least a liter and a half (the nice side effect here is that your new homemade softner contains some of the smell of the old), pour the 1 liter of hot water into the bottle. Add the vinegar. For the next step use a kitchen funnel and put the bottle in the sink. Pouring VERY SLOWLY to avoid massive spill over when adding the baking soda - due to the vinegar, add the baking soda to the mix. After the soda is in the bottle and the fizzing has died down, put the lid on the bottle and gently shake it until all the contents are well mixed. Note that adding the water first can help make the fizzing a little less extreme, but the actual order of ingredients is not really important. When using this fabric softner, give the bottle a good shake to stir everything up as the soda will settle and use a cup per load the same as you would regular fabric softner. Yes I have used this in a Downey Ball successfuly!
