Fabric Softner

[MirahM]

Do you use it when you do laundry?

[sally]

No, because my husband claims it makes his skin itch. So my laundry is really dull and smells like nothing. It only consists of Seventh Generation free and clear laundry detergent. There is no excitement going on in my laundry room. On one hand I like my house to be as chemical free as possible, on the other I like the smell of the Snuggle bear in my comforter.

I have not used it in a long time, mostly to keep costs down and I just didn't see any need. But last time I went shopping I got some and added it to my laundry today.

Sometimes some people's fresheners are so strong I can smell it on their clothes when they walk in the door. That is weird to me.

Yeah, there is this fat black kid that works as a bagger at Publix who smells strongly of fabric softener. He smells like a fresh spring day and I just want him to hold me.

I use Earth Breeze sheets as a laundry detergent. We’re on a septic system here so I keep definitely use mostly natural products and I like the sheets vs jugs of detergent. Don’t use fabric softener sheets cuz for whatever reason we don’t get a lot of static cling and as much as I might like the scent in some, I’ve found it can irritate my skin too. Plus I read that they’re actually bad for ur clothes. They leave a residue on the clothes so basically, every time u wash them ur also hoping ur washer gets rid of that residue and then adding more in the dryer.

Do you buy Earth Breeze online?

I want to see if I can actually reduce my plastic bottle use on some items.

You can also use a squirt of dish soap in your laundry. You dont need much and you don't have to buy seperate laundry detergent. My mom was a firm believer in Dawn dish soap for everything including my hair. A dab will do ya.

Snuggle reminds me of pedo bear.

I was instructed via a very stern note on the washer to not use fabric softener on the towels as it reduces absorption, for the next year they had to wash their own fucking towels. Now we have to check the weather before doing laundry!

Do you use it when you do laundry?

Yes, I do.

Someone once told me (when I was much younger) that only married men smell like fabric softener and it was always in the back of my head after that.

I so wanted to say that-no one told me that, but it was something I noticed.

Geez.

I actually love air drying towels sometimes and then they are like a lofah. In the summer here towels can dry outside in an hour. (if I remember that correctly)

I don't like the smell of dawn anymore. I use a non scented dish soap or one with lavender. I bet I could use that in my laundry.  I mean I could probably just use vinegar too.

I buy them from Amazon (who probably puts them in a giant unnecessary box and completely negates any positive climate impact I might be attempting by not using the big plastic jugs unfortunately. But I like them and I can store 6 months worth in a very small space.

I stink. I use Dove unscented, sensitive skin soap. 

I love the smell of soap but I wouldn’t use Dial on my face so it’s just easier to have one bar in there.
