Can I Use Hair Conditioner as a Fabric Softener?

RE: Can I Use Hair Conditioner as a Fabric Softener? Post By jenny (Guest Post) (11/09/2007) I am going to try this using hair conditioner for a fabric softer I'm sure it will work and I have some great home made laundry recipes if any one wants to try it. Thanks. Jenny RE: Can I Use Hair Conditioner as a Fabric Softener? Post by Cyinda (233) | (06/21/2007) Contact When you wash wool fabric or yarn. Remember wool is actually HAIR... so rinse it with hair conditioner. It will be SO soft, & you'll be glad you did! And don't for get that angora & mohair are also made from hair... So remember to rinse these with an inexpensive hair conditioner added to the water too! RE: Can I Use Hair Conditioner as a Fabric Softener?

I like the fragrance and it makes my nylons/pantyhose less likely to snag. I suggest that you try it on a small load of not so good towels, just in case...Good luck. Great Granny Vi RE: Can I Use Hair Conditioner as a Fabric Softener? Post By Ro (Guest Post) (09/29/2006) You could use the conditioner for the fabric softner, about 1/15 ratio should do it. REvise as necessary. However, at no time, do the reverse. Fabric softner contains trace minerals that, if you color or perm your hair, the chemicals can actually melt the hair.

I've seen the Queen of Clean talk about this, wait one sec...Her book Talking Dirty with the Queen of Clean says to use conditioner instead of softner, but she doesn't give the dilutions. Try looking on her website or googling hair conditioner as fabric softner, I know you'll find the right "recipe" out there.
