That's really a shame - I loved the April Fresh scent. I only use the dryer sheets on bed clothes, rugs, etc. - I use the liquid on clothes. When I use the dryer sheets tho I cut them in quarters - a box lasts me forever - you still get the softness but the scent isn't as strong. Re the liquid I use a quarter capful per my washer instructions and add water to the fill line of the dispenser. Why do companies change things that are popular?!

I won't use fabric sheets in my dryers. I've had two new dryers in the past 18 years and upon reading all the info that comes with a new appliance both have stated that if I use dryer sheets my warranty is voided. I've always used liquid fabric softener and am as happy as a clam.

I agree, dryer sheets kill the dryer. Find something else, there are tons of things on the market to use as softener for your clothes. Smell them in the store and pick one if the Downy doesn't do it for you. Get off the sheets.

I had heard or read that dryer sheets create a coating on your filter that eventually even fills in all the little openings the air passes through thus your dryer doesn't work as efficiently. You can't see it unless you hold the filter up to a light so I did and sure enough I saw it. Now I pull out the filter about once a month and go over the whole thing with warm water that has a little dishwashing liquid in it and a soft brush then a good rinsing.

I rarely use dryer sheets, I can not tolerate the scent, my nose is so sensitive I can smell dryer sheets on a towel when it is being used by some one else

I used to be a Downy user. Then I realized I was just adding more chemicals to my families lives.

Unnecessary if you ask me. So I stopped and guess what, clothes are still soft. Blacks stay midnight black.

And it doesn't pollute the water when it goes down the drain.

I gag now when I'm out walking and you can smell someone's awful stinky fabric softener in the air. Takes the delightfulness out of enjoying the sea air.

Wht do you do about static cling?

I wondered the same thing. Maybe there's a home remedy for that?

I guess you'll just have to stay indoors then.
