Speaking of laundry detergent...

What about fabric softeners? What do you use, mamas?

  • I don't. :)  And I use Wool Dryer Balls instead of sheets.

  • I like Snuggle and Downy.  Works for all of my baby's skin :)

  • I just bought the Method brand softener at Target to use on DD clothes. I have yet to try it out. Seems like it will be good for baby clothes though.

  • We don't. There is no real need for clothes to be softened this way, Most of the world air dries clothes and does just fine. But if some softness is something you like, I think that a tumble dry does just fine. Commercial fabric softeners are made of petrochemicals and artificial fragrance, ew! Like a PP, we also don't use dryer sheets, we just use wool balls.

  • I use snuggle free and clear dryer sheets and some form of "free" detergents with no dyes or fragrances.

  • We don't.  DH and DS have such sensitive skin that we just use All Free & Clear.  The fabric softeners actually can coat your towels and make them less absorbent, so be sure to skip them on the towel loads.  In my mind, they don't do much and are just another thing to add to my already long Target list.

  • Fabric softeners can make clothes more flammable so I avoid them--especially with children's clothing.

  • None here, either! :)

    We use Eco friendlier detergent with vinegar in the rinse cycle and dryer balls in the dryer. Works great.

  • We don't use softener on our clothes, and we won't for LO's clothes either.

    Awesome. I didn't know these existed. We use the Bounce sheets currently, and I mainly use them because I can't stand static cling.

  • I use Snuggle sheets but not on baby stuff.

  • We bought Charlie's Soap because we are CDing.  It claims that you don't need fabric softener with it, and the diapers turned out pretty soft.  We won't be using any additional softeners.
