Homemade fabric softener using conditioner

So today I made fabric softener using conditioner.  I bought V05 (Shea Cashmere scent) from our local Shoprite for .77 cents!  The vinegar was less than $2 for a gallon also.  So this was super cheap to make but let's see how it works when I run it through the washer.  

Here is the recipe that I used:  


6 cups water
3 cups white vinegar
2 cups hair conditioner :  1 (16 oz) bottle

Directions:

1.  Mix water, vinegar, and hair conditioner in a 1 gallon container; stir. Do not shake it; it will cause foaming.             Heat in microwave for about 1 minute and wisk.  Will mix easier.
2   Put in a 1 gallon container.  
3   Use the same amount you normally use in a rinse cycle or spritz it on a wash cloth and throw in dryer.

Most of the blogs and websites had the same recipe.  Some say to heat the conditioner and vinegar in the microwave for a minute for easier mixing.  Here are two of the websites that I used:
