I am a huge Barefoot Dreams fan! I own eight cardi's and three lounge pants. My problem is that the water where I live is very hard so my BD items have lost their amazing softness. The care instructions said NOT to use fabric softener, and I don't. I use Fabric softener on all my OTHER clothes.
I can't add a water softener onto my waterheater as I live in a high rise. Any suggestions from someone who had the same issue? And, does anyone use Softener and not suppose to? How does it feel? Did it ruin the fabric?
Thanks for your help!

I agree w/ @x Hedge.
Also, no dryer sheets with those kinds of fabrics.

How about Nellie's all natural lamby dryerballs? I haven't actually tried them with Barefoot Dreams, but use them for my clothes.

I'm sorry to hear your fabric changed texture. I love Barefoot Dreams and have lots of items from that company. I didn't hear this from the BD rep, but another company who makes very soft items makes it clear to never ever use heat when drying their items. Have you been drying the BD items all the way in the dryer? I only toss them in on delicate/damp dry for about 3-4 minutes and then hang them up to dry the rest of the way. I think high heat can sort of mat down or fuse the fibers. I hope mine never change texture. I love them all.

We have very hard water, but have a water softener. Have you thought about getting one of these? The cost is worth it. I highly recommend!!!

I only use the dryer on delicate for about five mintues or so. When I hang them with no dryer, still not soft.
