At one of my 'Mommy Groups'...
We learned how to make homemade cleaning products.
Truth be told, I only enjoyed one of them.
Homemade dryer sheets.
You need:
water
liquid fabric softner
sponge
container
You take 1 part fabric softner to 2 parts water
I make batches of:
1 Cup of fabric softner
2 Cups of water
Pour mixture into container.
Shake to mix.
Cut up a new, clean sponge and drop them in.
I use a Vintage Tupperware Pic-a-deli to store it.
Take the sponge out of the liquid and throw into the dryer!
Sqeeze excess out.
Sqeeze excess out.
This is how the sponge will look when it comes out of the dryer.
The mixture lasted about 4 months for our family. (7-10 loads a week)
And for larger loads, I throw 2 sponges in the dryer.
So, this is super thrifty!
I will not go back to dryer sheets!

Update-
Several of you have sent messages with questions:
YES I use this for whites. NO I've never had any problems with the fabric softner staining the clothing.
My dryer is about 6 years old.
I squeeze the sponge a quick squeeze until it is no longer dripping.
