- 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.

Watch it NOW 🔥
i use baking soda to wash clothes in for 60 yrs, they still look new even the top i wore to woodstock. soap only makes dirt cling to fabrics
Yes! I use vinegar especially in my towels!
Thank you so much for this. Sherie Rodrigues
@@mjkay8660 Good Morning! How much do you use? In cups
@@stephaniekeller4449 I use about a quarter of a cup. Doesn’t take to much. And cheaper than softener!
OK.... that's me forever done with fabric conditioner. Thanks for the info!
well, I make it and this video is not exactly accurate ;-) (like far from accurate)
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.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.

I have been using vinegar with lavender essential oil for years also. Also, I put a sprayer on a bottle of hydrogen peroxide (make sure it's opaque), spray on stain then use some shout on stain before washing. Works great.
@@mzritamarie4357 Doesnt vinegar cause any kind of damage to the gasket? Is your machine Front load or TL ? Cause TL can get away with vinegar use as far as i know
Peroxide takes blood out of fabric. Get the fabric wet first, then pour on the peroxide, let set for a few minutes before putting in the washing machine.
@@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.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.

@@wondergranny2299 Hi,
Yes many a panty and sheets have been saved by peroxide.
Wasn't until near the end before I figured out wear black, use black sheets, sleep on a black towel, and use a disposable bladder control bed pad under the sheets to protect the mattress. Things I wish I'd known 35 years earlier. Just never occurred to me before, with age comes wisdom.
Thank you for your comment.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.
👵🙂✌️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️
I haven’t used softener for decades. It interferes with absorption of towels and leaves a residue after drying. Softener sheets are just as bad. I have home made wool balls in the dryer and put a drop of essential oil if I want fragrance. Simple and clean
Great idea, thank you.
I will try this.
Regards from Scotland.
I wish more people knew about this. I stopped using fabric softeners and sheets over a decade ago. the wool balls are brilliant! so is vinegar in moderation. It really bugs me when I visit someone's house who overuses fabric softeners and their towels repel water instead of absorbing water LOL.
Also I've never used those scent boosters but they are everywhere now and I feel like they probably do more damage to clothes than help them. Not to mention the impact on the environment.
@@anebasammy and, 'they' say we are the cause of environmental problems. If the products 'they' are creating and that many people are using are causing so much trouble, why are they still making and selling it?🤷♀️🤦♀️😡
@@Paperdolltwin so true! If they sold their soul , you know they'd sell us out too... 💰
Softener dies decrease the material/towels ability to absorb!
I don’t use fabric softener and I’m definitely not going to use it now! Thanks for the informative video. It’s greatly appreciated!
I never knew that. I was using fabric sheets. But I'm going to try this for sure. Thanks for sharing 🙏❤️😊🙋♀️
I haven't used fabric softener in years. It coats your laundry and makes towels very nonabsorbant. Gross.
Same!!
Same, for decades!
I had no idea it contained animal waste! I stopped using it years ago as it made my children's eczema worse but my clothes even after line drying were never soft. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for the tip!
It’s not ‘waste’ as such, it’s more commonly known as TALLOW, or animal fat
@@yvonnemillward2022 It's still disgusting though. I'm sure there's millions of people who didn't know this fact.
My son had eczema years ago. When I line dried his clothes he always had more skin problems. So I used little vinegar in the washer and dried them in the dryer. That was the best for him.
Just use vinegar, it works the best.
No it doesn't
I use vinegar in the washer because it removes odors. Then I use wool dryer balls in the drier to soften the clothes and shorten drying time. This is the perfect combination.
I use vinegar, instead of liquid softener, it works for me
I use vinegar as a softener, it works for me
Vinegar will dry out your seal on your wash machine, and then it will start leaking.
I don't care a thing about some fancy fragrance. For years an few tablespoons of vinegar in the rinse has worked for me. Whenever possible I air-dry my laundry, so nothing smells nicer than that!
I just cant imagine wearing shirt, smelling like vinegar.
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 🕊️
I don't agree Cotton definitely needs z softener.
@@Fola1895
And wool.
I hang my towels outside to dry and then sand the furniture with them.
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!
Can’t wait to try this, didn’t know fab con was made from slaughter house waste or I would have never used it. Thank you 💙
I use it in the washing cycle and homemade dryer sheet that I use essential oil. It's far cheaper and clothes are ultra soft. Towels actually absorb water now since I stopped using fabric softener
Can you post your recipe for the softener sheets?
@@maryzahm900 I take my essential oils of choice, lots of recipes online, and add a few drops of alcohol and about 16 oz of water to a spray bottle. Shake well before use to mix everything, then I then spray either used dryer sheets or clothes I buy 5 in a pack from Dollar store that have a texture similar to them. They are thin and usually have stripes for patterns lol. You can actually use a wool dryer ball or even a dedicated washcloth or even flour sack kitchen towels or old sheet strips. The chemicals on both dryer sheets and fabric softener are basically the same.
P. S. To prevent reactions from some essential oils, it's best to use a dedicated cloth instead of just spraying your laundry. Hope it helps!
@@toughtimes6596 that's really useful. Thanks for posting this.
I have been using a cup of white vinegar in place of fabric softener
.
That's another great tip I have used! I just love the smell of lavender on my clothes so I tend to use that. Vinegar is really good for clothes that have been packed up or in the closet
My sister stopped years ago, I had no idea. I haven't used for awhile.
Thanks for the information, please keep your videos coming.
We had a seniors home for 20 years and had quite a few with allergies to all laundry products. Some had terrible rashes, and a couple had huge blisters. So, we just used water and everyone got better!
Now hubby and I use borax and baking soda. I see some people are using vinegar. I will give it a try, as well. Thanks for the videos.
✨😎👍 Those are the exact ingredients we use, it cleans much better too. Soak a couple of pieces of laundry with it for a few minutes, it draws out dingy accumulation and you can see the grey water, makes clothes brighter. 😄
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. Learned this doing my own methods in Algebra I, too! Peace!
I have a box of borax and washing soda by Arm and hammer...
I also buy Zote and Fels naptha to add to it
I have never used fabric softener. I also switched over to no fragrance and no dyes detergents. I am very sensitive to smells. Artificial fragrances give me migraines.
I agree, they're awful, and the synthetic stench is nigh on _impossible_ to wash out!
Thank you for the information. I do use baking soda already but didn’t know about the source of softeners- I knew they weren’t natural. I’m glad you’re telling this and sharing the alternative,🤓.
Products created from animal parts sounds like the most natural thing on the planet. This is exactly how soap and gelatin are created. You "know nothing" about the topic, yet instead of researching yourself, you're quick to believe a bombastic video title? "Trust, but verify." ✌
Thanks for this information! I'm on it!
When you said "slaughterhouse waste" that was enough for me. 😱 How horrible is that? So, I tried this the other day for the first time and was surprised at how soft and fresh my sheets and clothes came out of the dryer. Best of all, there was no static cling. I must thank you for this tip because the results are amazing (and economical). Danke :-)
I’ve not used fabric conditioner for a few years now because of the black mould that it causes to grow in the washing machine ! Never used it in this new machine and never had any mould problems! I don’t know what’s in the softer to cause it. I spray a bit of perfume in my dryer if I really want my clothes to smell of perfume!
Really? Wow, I didn't know that. Yet another reason to not use fabric softeners. I just make sure the washing machine lid and dispenser are left open so that all of the water can evaporate between uses. Never had mold or mildew
Hi. I had a problem with mildew in my towels and they were hard and scratchy.
So I checked out professional laundry woman who does hotel towels.
She said it was the fabric softener caused the scratchiness and advocated vinegar.
I no longer use fabric softener. I put half a cup of vinegar into the water and it has made my towels soft and absorbent and odor free...
That fabric softener is a big scam.
Of course my wife and I have had differences over this but now she is also convinced.
O no this is terrible 😞 I’ll be stop using this softener. Thanks for sharing
I use 1/2 cup of white vinegar because it gets rid of all the soap well but it doesnt leave the clothes soft. I do use baking soda in the washer.sometimes to remove any odors.
Where did you get this information about cationic surfactants being made from slaughterhouse waste? Because it's not true. They're used to clean slaughterhouse waste. But they're created from chemicals, like just about every other detergent and cleaner. You can, of course, use natural products instead or go without fabric softener entirely. But you need to more closely examine your information sources.
Matt Bosley you are wrong you have not worked in the lab Downy fabric softener contains Dihydrogenated tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride, which comes from the cattle, sheep, and horse industry. They sure won't put that in the usual 'all-so-soft' advertising. Now will they ??
Maybe in other countries they use slaughterhouse waste? On the bright side, baking soda and water with a drop of essential oil is way cheaper to use.
Matt Bosley you are not wanting to believe it If you only knew what even goes into our food My mother in law worked in the name brand tomato factory where dead parts of animals were ground up in the tomatoes & the rotten tomatoes all put together She could never ever ate canned tomatoes as well as many others after seeing what went into those cans as well as the ketchup ,sauce . It is just not the tomato factory either . I do not eat canned foods do not trust the caning factories . You need to do the research& talk to people that have been there . Talk to people that have worked in quality control in the food industries & in the other non food industries
👏👏👏 totally agree 👍
I think he means tallow fat? Which is usually an ingredient in some laundry soaps and softeners.
Living in Florida I use dryer sheets in my cabinets, closets and in those 18 gal plastic storage bins-- to repeal insects. A lot of dryer sheets contain oleander (a plant) which repeals bugs.
I have heard dryer sheets also repel mice. Tried it in camper Wisconsin. Could not tell it helped. Lady bugs invade in fall. I no longer stay there but I will pass on to family that does. But I wonder if cleanser leaves would repel gnats. Don't know why but we are having gnats in home this summer.
Line dryer for nearly 40 years. Stopped using softener decades ago. The baking soda solution does work. Vinegar works too, except on wool. Destroys wool and pearl inlay. Sometimes I add ammonia for softener.
Good idea! I will try it today because the scent it leaves in my clothes is why I hate fabric softener.
This Smart woman have been using baking soda...and lavender oil on wash cloth when drying my clothes!
👍👍👌
Some people believe anything of course it's not an ingredient in softener
Might be in some countries but no, not where I live.
We use the sheep wool balls. Works great. And we don’t need a special load for microfiber-which are ruined by fabric softener
I use vinegar rinse
Eeeew...!! 🤪
(Many years ago I was cooking dinner & my shirt sleeve briefly caught fire. Then my whole shirt went POOF! Up in flames. Luckily the effect only lasted a second or two but it scared me pretty badly - had no idea what caused it. Years later I saw a consumer story on TV about fabric softener "flash-over". The residual waxes & oils that make fabric feel soft were highly flammable - watch out. Hopefully manufacturers made changes since then but it appears not for the better, ugh.)
Woooooow 😲 I'm glad it was over fast, thanks for telling us your experience🙏🏼
@@honeybee2356 Thank you, you're welcome :) After some thought it occurred to me that I truly hope manufacturers have reformulated fabric softeners. Think of all the dryer lint fires that might've occurred because of a build-up these flammable ingredients in dryer vents? 🤪 Anyway, I rarely use fabric softeners anymore. I actually prefer the feeling of crisp clean fabric vs clothes that feel like they've already been worn for days.
I use distilled white vinegar as fabric softener but this may be a less expensive alternative.
Commercial fabric softener is also horrible for your HE washer, front or top loader! By using vinegar, it gets all that crud out.
It does disintegrate seals so be careful ❤️
I dilute my vinegar with water almost half
@@cherylgawne711 ~ The vinegar mixes with water in the rinse cycle (BTW, I use 'regular' white vinegar, not 'cleaning' vinegar because that is a stronger one). I have been using vinegar in my washer for over a year. No problem with my seals thus far, but thanks for the info.
@@woodsie5796 just letting you know because my sister did the same things with her new washer and it ate seals in about 2 years.. voided her warranty
@@cherylgawne711 Did it ? Did your sister not leave the door open after running the load . For the tub and seal to dry out? I am asking this because vinegar is a wonderful descaler and can help in running the washer whilst also deodorizing. Wondering if it will still impact the seal somehow
WoW! Thank you! Who would have known. Thanks for the info!
I use a 15% -18% citric acid solution with some drops of essential oil.
I've been telling ppl for years that fabric softener smells like really bad perfume covering up sewage! Turns out I was right! I sometimes shop the thrift stores and notice the clothes usually wreak from that stuff...yikes! I wdn't be surprised if Febreeze and car 'fresheners' are made of the same stuff! I spray my car upholstery lightly with vinegar once in a while...or alcohol. Neither leave a weird scent behind.
I guess you dilute it..?
Do you use white vinegar, do you dilute it, if so to what ratio? 🙂
Nothing smells worse than vinegar. I know it doesn't linger too much but it's so awful initially... 🤢🤢
@@theshadylady1982 I’ve been using vinegar for years as my fabric softener you can never smell it in the clothes.
Exactly I can smell fabric softener in peoples clothes and it always smells like sweat and fabric softener it’s gross and so is the Fragrances that they put in detergent I can barely walk down the aisle in the store it makes me so ill.🤢
No fabric softener in this house. It coats the towel and there for never really washes clean again. Your body cells stay behind. Just vinegar. No smell afterwards. Just clean clothes.
I've stopped using fabric softeners due to the fact they're bad for your washing machine, they glug it up
i used vinegar and baking soda in washing mashine. its good for light colored laundry. but all black clothes ended up gray after few times i washed them. so on dark clothes i dont use anything. if u have smth other than vinegar or soda im willing to try it. thank you )
👍🏾 I stopped buying fabric softener years ago!!
White vinegar rinse, if dryer when do not hangout on rainy days- dryer balls with few drops of essential oil( not too much) do not want a fire hazard. I never ever dry on high-- low delicate cycle only
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).
Thank you.

Thanks for the details

I use vinegar to dissolve completely the soap which is alkaline as baking soda. I add soda to soap
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.
Yes it is bi-carb of soda
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.
Dzięki za super przepis, pozdrawiam z Polski 👍❣️

Thank you for this useful suggestion and the terrible news of what is contained in typical fabric softeners.
We stopped using softener years ago when it made our front loading washing machine stink like dirty diapers! We hang our clothes to dry and don't need for the clothes to smell like anything. Vielen Dank. Grüsse aus Chicago 🍕
Your Welcome :)
Ok. Thank you very much. 👍👍👍👍👍🙂
Thank you, I’ll be doing this on my next wash.
There are so many eco friendly alternatives in stores now that don’t contain animal byproducts or dangerous chemicals.
Uck! I will never buy it again. Thank you for hilighting this and providing an alternative. I understand white Vinegar does the same
I just use white vinegar,and my clothes don’t smell like vinegar at all but they are so soft
I have used baking soda in my washer to soften the water so that my clothes come out cleaner. I am willing to try your baking soda water trick for the fabric softener as well to see how soft the clothes come out. Thank you.
I had always understood fabric softener was anti-ecological. I don't like the fakey smell.
You have the right to be grossed out but considering all the toxic things around us, some animal waste is the least of our problem. Still gonna use mine.
🤣🤣 "still gonna use mine."
I heard that! 😁
I think it is a by product of animal slaughter not actual waste. That is not being reprocessed as fertilizer as it once was. Its stacked and pooled in hazardous polluting messes. Most fertilizers today are chemically created and manufactured
I love my softener, I will try vinegar- hope it works. I dislike static cling and I like the smell. I will be trying this hope it works. I use plastic balls in my dryer, I think they help dry faster
Can I use it for dark and black laundry?
@@doloresmallia6516 I read in the comments that it makes black come out grey. So it can leave a film or it isn't good for dark colors. If you want to try it I would go with white or light color clothes.
Tx for that info. 👍 I use a mixture of bicarb of soda and vinegar and a few drops of essential oils. I'm hoping that the extras will negate the drying effects of the vinegar 🤔 I believe that the vinegar helps to get rids of and deters both odours and mould. 😁
I would love to use vinegar also, but using it daily will dry out your seals on your wash machine and then it will start leaking, so that is a no for me.
Omgosh ! I had no idea that fabric softener from slaughter house waste. Thank you so much for telling me. I would imagine the fabric sheets for the dryer is the same right ?
Thanks for the tip. Actually I don't use fabric softener and my clothes smell really nice with just the soap I use. I do use softener sheets in dryer until I can find another alternative.
You Got!! I've been using baking soda for bout 3 decade's; you can also use white vinegar too
That’s me never using commercial fabric softener again 👍🏻
I threw my cat in the dryer. His fur softens my clothes.
I use white vinegar with stinky items. And wool balls with a couple of lavader essential oil in the dryer . I will try your version.
Yes, I never knew what it was made from
Yes and used as a old staple my mom used, as she mixed her own washing powder / soap
I have always used her formulations of Borax or Washjbg Sidaand Baking Soda
Here in the US we have a wonderful
Prepackaged washing sosp made with Goat milk soap and Vaking Sida and Borax and Washing Soda all combined
It it great and your suggestion is a long tine secret to great washing
Baking Soda is a marvelous addiction to a y tbi g we wash include g our walls etc
So glad you are I zpiru g others to a natural and healthy way to inckude it in wash
Blimey. Are you bilingual?
Thank you! I haven't used fabric softener or dryer sheets in years bc of the chemicals!
I don’t use fabric softener. I add white vinegar to the fabric softener container and it works fine. I also put aluminum foil in dryer to prevent the electric static that usually occurs. 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.
Vinegar in laundry is disgusting and doesn't work. I use fabric softener in the right dispenser designed for it. It smells better that way.
@@jeromedavis8575 it works fine iim my laundry & doesn’t leave an odor
Vinegar works also, but I’d like to try this. Thnx👍
Ugh! As a vegetarian I find that absolutely horrifying. Never again. Thank you.
Thank you
Your Welcome :)
white vinegar (also removes the stain of the washing machine) and for washing: a spoon of crystal soda, a spoon of baking soda, one spoon of sodium permanganate.
Seriously.... I did not know about the animal fat in fabric softener. I've just checked this out and its true. Yuk, I feel sick. How disgusting.
I did know it was full of chemicals and was concerned about that, but this has now convinced me to switch it out. Thanks for the information 👍😊
It’s also in some soaps. So if you don’t want to use tho check the ingredients. Usually called tallow. Or sodium tallowate. Consider oil based soaps.
@@loveu8910 Thanks... I've ordered some Castile soap to make my own moving forward... I was trying to reduce the chemicals in my life and have a more natural life, but I'm not keen on washing with dead animals either so I'm glad I know this.

I never used fabric softener because I heard it was bad for the environment. 🤔🤔🤔
I will give this a try. I currently use dryer sheets

I didn't know this... WHat is the specific ingredient from the slaughterhouse?
Hello, I just saw your video about softeners. I haven't used them for a long time, because they left my clothes stained. But now I've read in your video that they contain animal waste from the slaughterhouse, so I'm glad I made the decision not to use them for many years now. Thank you very much for your information.

I just got a 15 pound bag of Baking soda delived to my home today...and I said yes l do need this much thank you very much! It's big...I'm set for life! 😂
What are wool balls please? I live in Australia and have never heard of them. I always used diluted white vinegar like my Grandmother did. It helped with perspiration odour and stains- particularly in shirts and kept flannelette sheets as well as towels fluffy.
I also make my own water softener using washing soda and warm water. Works really well in hard water or if you have old plumbing pipes.
Wool dryer balls are balls made from sheep wool and you put them in the dryer with your clothes. They soften and eliminate statical naturally. A chemical free safe alternative to softeners. They help your laundry dry faster too.

I don't use liquid fabric softener for years, but didn't know about the origin of it! so good to know. BUt i do use the dryer sheets, is that the same slaughterhouse waste?
I make my own laundry detergent and use vinegar instead of fabric softener. Have for two years and nothing has happened to my washer.
I use vinegar in the fabric softener container of the washer and throw baking soda inside the washer with my clothing. I've been doing this for almost 15 years.
REALLY MADE FROM ANIMALS !! I never would have guessed ,thanks! !!
They use the rendered fat of cows, sheep, and horses, mixed with ammonia. It's a chemical found in nearly all fabric softeners, but it's also in a lot of other common products we use every day, like shampoo, toothpaste etc. Thank goodness for baking soda, vinegar, etc.
I haven't used any fabric softener for decades. If there's a little static you just have to shake the item a bit and it goes away.
I stopped using fabric softener a long time ago. I'm just lazy pour it and avoid chemical
Wash your raincoats in plenty of fabric conditioner, it waterproofs them.

That’s why you should never was towels or tea towels and the like because it stops them from absorbing water.

It does, I was a dry cleaner and picked up many money saving tips. 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
Not all fabric softeners are made from slaughterhouse waste..there are after all plant based brands such as Seventh Generation
Thanks im so glad i dont use fabrib sofner have not used it in a long time
