This Might Be A Dumb Question - What About Fabric Softner

thew8isover

I see all of the post about detergents, but nothing about fabri softners.  Am I missing something or are the no green fabric softners?

I have never used fabric softner and I stopped using dryer sheets last year. My clothes are fine.

white vinegar works well as a natural fabric softener.

after i finish my last package of dryer sheets, i'm going to be using dryer balls in the dryer.

I don't know...I've never looked! I'm pretty sure 7th Gen makes dryer sheets. I switched from Downey to white vinegar and haven't looked back!

I just don't use any.

Reduce is the first R... I reduced my fabric softener use to zero. Plus, most commercial fabric softeners are a soup of chemicals the manufacturers won't even tell you the ingredients of.

Ditto on the white vinegar.  And your clothes won't smell like vinegar, they'll just smell fresh.

We just use dryer balls.

In our house no smell = good smell.  I'm not into the fragrances.

I have never used fabric softener. I do not think it is necessary.

I have never even used it before.

Another vote for white vinegar. I use about 1/2 cup in the fabric softener dispenser.  My towels have never been softer.

Thanks for telling me the amount.  I'm thinking of getting Green Shield detergent and I'll use the vinegar when I run out.

Another vote for white vinegar in the washer and nothing in the dryer.

We've also never used it.  We're not into smells either, who knows what chemical cocktails fragrances are made out of, let alone the rest of whatever fabric softner is.

You can find green brands, but I prefer to just use white vinegar and dryer balls.
