If you ever get to the west coast, get a hold of me and you can come over for a cup of coffee. 😎 I was wondering if you use this with your towels and does it do the kind of waxy coating that regular softener sheets can. I don't normally soften my towels but if this still leaves them absorbent, I would.

      I hadn’t thought about this. I just looked it up and they don’t recommend anything to soften the fabric be used at all. It messes with the fiber tightness and can add a layer to the fabric to prevent it from working correctly. For this reason I’m still going to say that I would avoid it. Sorry! Just want to be safe.
