Fabric Softener Sales Plunge - Millennials Don't Know What It Is For

[thomasortega]

I cannot imagine my life without an abusive and offensive explosion of scent and fluffiness.

If I could I'd probably even drink or inject FS in my veins. As it's not possible, a cupful (sometimes more) in the final rinse.

If the neighbors two blocks away from me cannot say "Thomas is doing laundry", that's not enough fabric softener for me.

Yes, I know it leaves the washer nasty. That's why im always cleaning them to remove all that grease.

laundry detergent and fabric softener

Sorry I'm late to the party, but this is why I like my laundry detergent and fabric softener scents to match. Fabric softener goes in the final deep rinse to soften and freshen your clothes.

YAWN!

Works for me

I switched to lemon juice years ago and it's the perfect "sour" to neutralize excess anions and I use it, the way some people use vinegar (I don't like the smell), for lots of other cleaning jobs. Professional artisan bread bakers use it and/or vinegar to clean the masonry decks or their ovens after a day of baking.

 

I remembered that my Grandmother used it in her automatic.

young people and fabric softener

I'm sorry, but most young people are too stupid to know what this stuff is for or how to use it properly. I may be one or few of the youngsters here, but I know how to use fabric softener properly. This is why it works for me due to proper use. It's not that hard. I have been doing laundry since the age of 7 and I've watched my parents used this stuff and started using it not long after.

Thing is where I’m from my parents

After trying for the first time I became hooked, I’m not sure how many people can say they’ve got hooked on fabric softener

Thing is where I’m from my mum

She never used fabric softener, although my dad yeah he does, but he uses the little cheap dollar packets of fabric softener, After trying for the first time I became hooked, I’m not sure how many people can say they’ve got hooked on fabric softener but honestly, I’m glad I use it, and it helps get rid of detergent too at least that’s what I found, but I could be completely wrong about that

I wish Staley's Sta Puf was still available. That was what we used. A neighbor with a Westinghouse used NuSoft.

For the longest time I wasn’t using liquid fabric softener, just the dryer sheets. Then I bought a bottle of Downey and used my Downey Ball since my Roper didn’t come equipped with a dispenser. I liked it so much that I finally bought a dispenser and retro fitted my machine with it.

For the past 4-5 mo I’ve been using Up&Up Spring Bloom Fabric Conditioner and I really like it. I only use 1/2 cap plus water to the fill line of the dispenser and haven’t noticed any build up in the machine. The Spring Bloom smells like Downey April Fresh and is lower in price.

I'm sure millennials know what fabric softener is, they probably can't afford to use it.

Many people use liquid detergents now and they often leave clothes softer than powder detergents. Considering the deposits they can leave behind in washers, it might be a blessing that softeners are not used with them.
