  • Do you still use fabric softener? - Here I show you why I never use fabric softener again!
    ✅ Is HERE something for you? ➡️ amzn.to/3Hi7tEy *
    Fabric softener always smells so nice and makes the laundry really soft, right? In principle, that's true, but do you know what's in fabric softener? Here I'll show you and explain why I don't use fabric softener anymore and what I use instead to make my laundry really nice and soft.
    Because fabric softener contains animal surfactants, which is just slaughterhouse waste. Kind of gross when you imagine washing your clothes in slaughterhouse waste, right?
    But what alternative to fabric softener is there? Baking soda! Mix 100 ml with 2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda, stir well and pour the mixture into the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine. If you want it to still smell good, you can add a few drops of an essential oil of your choice.
    When your laundry is done, it will also be nice and soft and smell good, but won't have any butcher's scraps on it. So be sure to give this alternative to fabric softener a try.

    I just use distilled vinegar in the rinse cycle instead of fabric softener; a half cup to a whole cup. I also started using a little less detergent per load as well. But I pretreat any stains with some watered down detergent in a spray bottle, let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes. If it's a bad stain I put a spoonful of detergent directly on the spot, and use an old toothbrush to work it into the stain. By using less detergent it rinses out better, but I still use the second rinse cycle. Leftover detergent on the clothes attracts dirt and germs to the fabric.
    Hope this helps.

      @@YinYanUzumaki Hi,
      I've always had a top loader.
      The vinegar used is watered down though, half a cup to a whole cup, into a washer full of water. Now if you're wiping down the gasket with straight vinegar to kill the mold and mildew, and don't rinse it off after you clean it, that might cause problems after a few years. I've used distilled vinegar on the refrigerator gasket when cleaning it, but I've gone back afterwards and rinsed it off, then dried it, using microfiber cloths.
      Sorry I can't give anymore help than that. Call the manufacturer of your machine and ask them. Then call a couple repair companies and ask them as well. Good luck.

It really bugs me when I visit someone's house who overuses fabric softeners and their towels repel water instead of absorbing water LOL.

    Peace. Added fabric softener, only one container's worth, to clothes during late 60s. Learned if textiles were natural fabrics: wool, cotton, linen, silk, bamboo, fabric softener was not needed. Also, if drying clothing outdoors, i.e., clotheslines, the air currents help to keep fabrics soft and fluffy. Saved money; no lugging of large containers from store to home/laundromat. Less plastic in environment. What's not to love? Peace!

      Peace. Thsnk you for your perspective. And... Hardee-har-har, my fellow earthling and space traveler. My daughter has told me the same. Cardboard comes off the lines into her hands. My experience has been to to take fabrics off the lines as they become dry. If they remain on clothesline for more than an hour after having dried, then yes, the stiffness is there. In the case of my daughter, she leaves them on the lines until the end of her housework day. Too long a time. My water is from a well, with minimal water softener treatment. Don't know if that might add to the effect. Also, our individual mind-sets do affect our world. I do expect washed textiles end conditions to be as desired. We are responsible for what we draw into and manifest in our lives. It takes consistency of intent, a la Dr. Dwayne Dyer's "...focus..." lectures and books, to obtain best results. Clothrs softener products, I've been told, are plasticized chemicals. My intent is more inclusive as well. To prevent further long-term pollution entering my environment as well as keeping my money to spend for other, more desireable products. The more thorough my thought processes, the more thorough the results. Our universe is our support. As we learn to abide by its Natural Law, taking into account full spectrum of life's complexities, mstched by going WiTh ThE fLoW, we will experience more gentleness, satisfaction, contentment, beauty and pleasure. That's ThE TrUTh and i'm sticking to it! Peace!

      Peace. Yes. Fifty years past, listened to a talk radio program. One episode offered latest laundry research conclusions by one of our military branches' official spokesmen. Cold water washes were just as effective at killing bacteria, germs, et al, on fabrics. No need for hot water! Another conclusion concerned washing agents. Most expensive, moderately-priced and using only cold water. Yes, higher-priced stuff got clothes clean. Almost equally as cleaning were moderately-priced laudering aids. Yet, it was just plain water which achieved the cleanest results! Some laundering substances I have used for heavily stained or soiled items are various home recipies / concotions of: vinegar; baking soda; lemon juice; Boraxo; bleach: dishwasher soap; Rit's Color Remover (this works really well though not as economical!). Marketed Rust Remover products do what they claim, too. Rit's Color Remover removed rust in washing machine drum, too. as it safely removed clothes colors! Can one notice doing laundry does not qualify as work? Peace, creativity, meaningful work are all involved! Where there's a will, there may be more than one way to get a job done.

  • @ruthcormack1765
    @ruthcormack1765 2 года назад +6

    For those not in the know, the main ingredient for fabric softening is a TUMBLE DRYER. Fabric softeners are A SCAM. By all means choose a nice liquid laundry wash, but just use capful carefully into the receptacle. Every month or so do a rinse of your machine with proprietary cleaner. A Deep Clean will do even better to keep your laundry fresh:
    Equipment You Need:
    Lint-free cleaning cloths
    Old toothbrush or soft-bristled brush
    Bucket
    Towels
    Materials You Need:
    Hot water
    Distilled white vinegar
    All-purpose cleaning spray
    Baking soda
    Instructions:
    1. Clean the lid: Open the top, spray it with an all-purpose cleaner, and then use a soft brush to remove any caked-on detergent or grime. Be sure to get the hinges, too. Wipe the lid with a clean, damp cloth.
    2. Clean the gasket: Combine 1 cup of hot water and 1 cup of white vinegar in the bucket. Dip a fresh cloth into this mixture and scrub the hard rubber gasket at the top of the tub barrel. Once you’ve removed all the buildup, wipe it with a clean, wet cloth. Don’t use straight vinegar to clean the gasket, or you may damage it.
    3. Scrub the dispensers: If your bleach and fabric softener dispensers are removable, take them out and wash them in a sink of hot, soapy water. Use an old toothbrush to clean any grime in the corners. Rinse and then let them air dry. Repeat this process with the agitator if it’s removable (as in the Fisher-Paykel top loaders).

  • @ClissaT

    What an absolutely terrible surprise!! Thankyou for alerting us to the truth of the matter.
    I was just looking for the right excuse to stop using fabric softener. Even though I rarely use it, I need it sometimes when washing towels because I added the tiniest bit too much soap and the load never rinsed thoroughly enough to remove all the suds. So I drop in a tiny bit of softener to mitigate the foam. I hope the Bi-carb soda does the same job.
    What is the chemical name of the soda you call baking soda? Is it Bicarbonate of Soda, otherwise known as Sodium Bicarbonate?
    In Australia and other parts of the world we have a Baking Powder which is a raising agent that used to be comprised of a blend of
    Bicarbonate of Soda and Cream of Tartar otherwise known as Potassium Bitartrate.
    Nowadays it is made from the Bi-carb soda and a new cheaper acid called Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate.
    If the product you are using is simply a plain alkali called Sodium Bicarbonate, it should always be referred to as that so there is no confusion.

    Have you tried citric acid before?? 1 tsp in final rinse or make up a 5-10% solution and use a little in the fabric conditioner compartment. I’ve seen it used in some non toxic stay at home wives vlogs lol. She said it’s to help to rid of any alkaline detergent residue which can damage the fabrics if it stays on. It has no scent (unlike vinegar) and it can be easily dissolved. I’ve also seen a similar product (sonnets laundry rinse) but haven’t tried it yet.

Since some fabrics exclude use of softener, the aluminum foil in dryer will help, not only with preventing static, but will give effect of softener to some degree.

The best way to use this is to wash your raincoat, if it’s dirty, then pour two part fabric conditioner to one part water into a spray bottle.Hang raincoat in open space and spray all over then allow to dry. When dry spray some water to see if it runs off , if not respray with conditioner mix again until you get desired results. Don’t knock it until you try it.
      Or, you can take it to the dry cleaners and pay £20 $25 to have it reproofed. Or you can buy a tin of reproofing spray £15 or $ 20
