Liquid Fabric Softener vs. Dryer Sheets

RE: Liquid Fabric Softener vs. Dryer Sheets By Rose King (Guest Post) Was just watching Bonnie Hunt show, she said use tennis balls in place of softener. I am going to try it and begin using vinegar too. I know vinegar has a lot of great uses.

Occasionally the sheets. One for the 1st load. One for the 2nd load. Then the one from the 1st load + the one from the 2nd load. This is economic. But, if you are using the sheets all the time be sure to clean the lint trap. Wash it. The dryer sheets put a film on the mesh & become a fire hazard.

This works with large loads too not just small loads!

I tried it and love it. Hope you like it also.

I put vinegar in the rinse water and while it helps clean the washer of built up soap scumb it also softners the clothers and prevents static electricity. Whenever I do use one of the fabric sheets I either use it twice or I cut one in half. I have also heard but not tried yet that you can roll a piece of foil into a ball; put it in the dryer and it will also prevent static electricity.

I use any liquid softener sprayed on a cloth and thrown into the dryer with the clothes. Mix 1 capful of liquid softener in a 32oz spray bottler. Fill the bottle with water. Then spray an old washcloth, an old sock or some other piece of cloth and throw it into the dryer with your clothes. I don't have a softener dispenser in my washing machine. so this works as well or better than buying the dryer sheets.

Overtime, there is a build up on the drum where the clothers are and it can cause issues with the dryer, as well as marks on light clothes. We have not had any issues since we switched to liquid softner, so there must be some truth to it.

I just take a old piece of cloth put some of the liquid softener on it and throw the cloth in the dryer. It works good for me and is allot cheaper. Posted on 01/23/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Liquid Fabric Softener vs. Dryer Sheets By crazybest (17) Contact I personally only use vinegar in my rinse cycle when doing a wash. Sometimes I will use a 1/2 dryer sheet {low scent} when doing towels but it really isn't necessary. These work great for people who cannot handle strong fragrances, detergents.
