WHAT DO YOU DO????

[DADoES]

All the machines I use on a regular basis have dispensers. If on occasion I forget to add softener to a load on which I wanted to use it, I let it go, don't have any dryer sheets.

I've been out of Downy Advanced for a couple months (except for a two-dose sample box I'm saving that came with RJ's Neppy). I had been skipping softener on jeans and shirts so as to not smell like a lavender field or Flower of the Moon or whatever. However, I recently used a small dose on a load of jeans, and could tell the difference. So last Sat I fetched a bottle of Downy Ultra Free and Sensitive ... which I believe Launderess says is less goopy than other choices.

OK guys....here is what I do...sometimes.

I know dryer sheets are not the best thing going, however I use them-actually a small portion of them simply to reduce static cling.

For example, I take a sheet of bounce which is folded (I think in 8ths) and I cut them on the line so that I end up with 8 strips approx 8 inches long by 2 inches wide. That is all I use and NOT every time and only during the winter months.

The smell is too prissy and your clothes (as well as the air outside your house) smell like baby clothes! YUK! No thanks!

I have stopped using dryer sheets because they can clog up the lint filter in the dryer but I really like the Mexican fabric softener, Ensueno that I use in the rinse. Gives the clothes a great smell.

Skip it and hope to remember it next time. Then go buy a washer model with a dispenser.

Never touch the stuff either. I use perfume and dye-free detergent as well. To reduce static, I hang most of our stuff barely damp and let it dry in the boiler room.

Never use fabric softner. The Halo-of-Heat dryer seems to eliminate static, somehow as compared to my Whirlpool dryer.

I usually just reset the timer and re-rinse, but I always seem to remember right before I'm ready to start something else, or are on my way out the door!
