Bad for clothes, and the fragrance is so overwhelming you can smell it a long ways away when neighbors use it....Has to be bad for humans to breath in....and also bad for the environment too....

I use the sheets.  Husband doesn't know.  He doesn't like them.  But he loves his laundered clothes!

I use a cup of vinegar in the softener dispenser then 4 plastic dryer balls in the dryer. I have asthma and perfumed clothes don't agree with me, plus my dryer screen doesn't get clogged with film from the dryer sheets.

I use the wool dryer balls.  I used to use the plastic ones, but over time, some of the little "nubbies" broke off.

Do not.  I remember learning that for the most part, they are detrimental to the Environment so I stopped.

I have had 2 of the plastic balls last me for the last 10 years, and had to replace the other 2 last year.  They just cracked, but the spokes were fine.

@Ro 

 

 

Do you mean in the wash cycle?

 

 

Some are referring to the dryer?

 

 

I didn't know they had laudry softener for the dryer?

No, don't like the fragrance, don't want my towels to be water resistant, and don't want the coating on the dryer filter which can start a fire.

Re: Laundry Question?

I don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets.

 

I can't stand the smell of the dryer sheets or they way they leave a film all over everything.  Even the unscented smell because they are on the shelf right next to the scented ones.

 

It's a rare occasion that I ever notice static cling happening.
