Our Softening Rinse is a natural alternative to traditional fabric softeners that rely on greasy synthetic chemicals and fragrances. By balancing the pH of your wash water, it leaves fabrics feeling silky-soft and remarkably gentle against even the most delicate skin. It’s the perfect final step for cloth diapers, baby clothes, bed linens and all garments that sit closest to our skin. It’s a cleaner way to achieve that soft, breathable feel without leaving a synthetic, waxy residue on your clothes and washing machine that other fabric softeners do.

If you are cloth diapering and your baby is prone to rash, Softening Rinse is the perfect solution. Not only does it leave your cotton diapers ultra-soft, but it lowers the pH of the fabric down to a level just below neutral—where sensitive baby skin is most comfortable.

Our innovative system is designed with cost and the planet in mind. Start with the Kit (which includes 1 refillable jug and 2 refill packets). Simply mix 1 packet of concentrated powder with warm water in your reusable jug as per our instructions. When you run out, purchase or subscribe to Refills (sold as a 2-pack) instead of investing in a whole new jug.

Refills are available in both Unscented or Fresh Floral Scent. For those with a sensitive nose, please note that the Fresh Floral Scent is very, very light. Your laundry will not smell perfumy. It simply leaves behind a bright, airy aroma when coming out of the dryer.

To Mix: Unscrew the top of the refillable Esembly Softening Rinse jug. Tear open a packet of Softening Rinse powder and carefully pour it in. Fill the jug with warm water and securely screw the cap back on. Shake gently to mix until powder is fully dissolved.

To Use: Pour 1 capful (1/4 cup) of Softening Rinse liquid into the fabric softener dispenser of your washing machine. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Softening Rinse will only be effective when dispensed into the fabric softener compartment.
