Dryer sheets.
They don't cost that much, and they seem to work okay.

Dryer sheets. Store brand, free of dyes and such. For extra value, I tear them in half. They work just as well and last twice as long. Not a huge savings, but it works.

I was Downy liquid for years. Then switched to grocery store brand to save a few $$. Concentrate. One lid full does the trick. :)

I do find that if I put the softener in every load of towels they tend to not be as absorbant. So I use it every couple of loads, and they're still soft. :)

I don't use it on towels or dish towels either..

and I hang my sheets outside..I like the way the outside smells...and I have really really good sheets...at least 500 thread count, and higher..so the softener doesn't really make any difference in them..


Otherwise..April Fresh....

I'm a sheet snob......can't stand the cheaper percale sheets, they're itchy....I don't like to hang them outside....well, let me rephrase that....I love the smell of sun dried laundry, but it's hell on my allergies!

I love the smell too ..that's why I do it...They dry pretty quick here in Florida...especially where I live...being so close to the Ocean, there is almost always a breeze....

and I don't own any percale sheets... :lol: :lol:


Egyptian Cotton...Or Sateen... with a really high thread count... 8)

I...uh..may be a kind of sheet snob too.... :oops: :roll: :lol: :lol:

Dryer sheets for me...but not w/towels. I buy whichever brand's scent smells best to me at the time!!! :D And I find one sheet can be recylced & used a second time & still does the trick & makes the clothes smell good! :D
