I always do the opposite. Hang clothes on the line till dry, then fluff in the dryer before you fold and put away.

Sorry, I forgot to say that it should be added to the rinse.

I too line dry (weather permitting, I live in UK) and I find that approximately 1/2/ (half) a cup of white vinegar seems to cut out the "cardboard".

To avoid stiffness in line dried clothing, simply put them into the dryer for 7 to 10 minutes; then hang on the line!

Instead of using toxic fabric softener and dryer sheets, mix 1 gallon of white vinegar with a $.99 container of hair conditioner. It is very inexpensive and works great whether you pour directly into washer in final rise cycle or use on a terry cloth for the dryer. Please recycle!

Be sure that you do not use this in a load that has been bleached, chlorine bleach mixed with vinegar will emit toxic fumes. (02/15/2008)

Using the natural softener will not cause any caustic effect if you have used bleach in the load. It isn't ammonia. I have been doing this for a while and it is much safer than what is on the market shelves. (02/15/2008)

Why would you mix conditioner with vinegar? Vinegar itself is a softener as well as eliminating static electricity. (02/15/2008)
