Fabric Softener

eitaknna9 · July 2011

Any recommendations on a fabric softener that works well and smells good? It has been a while since I have used a store bought softener because I tried the vinegar route, but my towels are just not getting soft. What do you use?

We use blue sparkle scent Snuggle with a bounce ball - I use the same kind of dryer sheets. I've been so excited about how soft our towels are, but I actually didn't use fabric softener until recently. (I'm not exactly a domestic queen, lol) The last couple of overnight guests we've had have commented on how good the sheets smell, too.

We also use dryer balls and I sometimes use vinegar as a softener. Our clothes are plenty soft, but they don't have as nice a smell as if I used dryer sheets or softeners. I'll have to look into the scented dryer sticks. I haven't heard of them before.

You shouldn't use traditional fabric softener w/ towels anyway, it makes them lose their absorbency. Are they being put in the drier right away?

I did not know that, thanks. Yes, I put them in right after they are washed,

I just use dryer sheets, Bounce brand I think?

I use the bounce bar... If DH tries to help, it's one less thing for him to forget

Liquid fabric softeners do interfere with towel absorbency. For added scent Downy has come out with a new product. http://www.downy.com/en-US/product-line/scent-booster.jspx

I have not tried it yet. For softness dryer sheets can be used.

Hope to help!

I didn't know liquid fabric softener made towels less absorbent. I guess I will stop doing that!

Have you tried Method dryer cloths? They have pretty rave reviews.
