Rain Barrel
Yes, that takes me back!
"No bothering with the rinse, Rain Barrel goes in the wash cycle....)
Sadly cationic and nonionic with or anionic surfactants don't play well together. Even Consumer Reports stated fabric softener was best in the rinse. RB didn't last very long IIRC, likely because of such related issues.
What does work well enough as a fabric softener in wash is clay (bentonite).

Colgate-Palmolive used in their Fabric Softener Fab powder detergent, and Fab "One Shot" detergent packets.
Today of course clay as fabric softener is everywhere. Those crystals by Purex and others for a start.

Yup, the Purex Crystals used to do a decent job as softener, I bought some a few years ago to try out.
Thing is, last time I took a look at them at the local supermarket, they seem to have stopped advertising softening as one of the advantages and only say it boosts scents -- the list of ingredients do not list anything like bentonite anymore either, they used to.
Who the heck knows what's going on in those CEO's minds?

That most certainly is.....
Michael O'Keefe...
A few years later Michael, a still very boyish, and during the movie, scantily clad, in his tightey whities Danny Noonan character, graced the big screen in Caddyshack. One believes he eventually he married Bonnie Raitt? I remember Cling Free static softener product. Came in a box with a almost very thin foam sheets type of thing. They were almost tinted a light blue, and when they were used turned to kinda a grey color. That was maternal grandmothers choice for her washing. We used Downey.
Nice clips!!

IIRC there was Rain Barrel commercial with a Maytag washer ... that has a rinse softener dispenser right in the top of the agitator. Of course, the typical consumer had no clue about all that, LOL.
