When using gain flings, do you still use fabric softener as well?

Hi there Mark,Most of the time I have been using a product called "dropps" with the gain flings, but I have used fabric softener as well with things like my sheets, etc. I am all about scents & smells & I will try to make whatever I wash have a great smell to it. I smell everything in the stores, and if it complements or enhances the smell of the other products, then I will use it. I think it is just a matter of what you like & what you want to do.

I don't personally. I don't care for fabric softener, what I do instead is add about a half a cup of white vinegar at the beginning of the cycle. I feel it helps the detergent work better, softens even the hang dry stuff, never any cling issues and NO waxy build up to deal with. And my big fear that I'd smell like a pickle was unfounded.

Yes, I've had mine for about three years and it still works. Just don't dry or use fabric softener.

I wash mine in the machine but I always let my running gear air dry, never use fabric softeners of any kind as it will clog the pours and not allow your wicking fabrics to wick :) I learned this from others, hope it helps. Also, I wash my running clothes in warm water.

I put them in the washer with towels on a sanitary (extra hot and long) cycle. In the dryer, no fabric softener.

It doesn't have a softener in it. But they aren't stiff or scratchy. I just use dryer balls in the dryer and my clothes seem fine. I do use another type of detergent on item that I like to have be soft and have a lite sent....like blankets and sheets....Grab Green laundry detergent pods. But I use this for everything else. Cleans great.

No, I put them in the washing machine on warm/cold rinse with the rest of my regular clothes either normal or delicate cycle, and dry them on low with a bounce fabric softener sheet along with my normal clothes, even cotton clothes! I usually only use half a softener sheet or socks get too soft. They are very forgiving

I use delicate cycle, warm water. No, I don't use fabric softener, just regular detergent. They seem pretty tough and could probably be washed in a regular cycle. I never put them in with regular clothing due to the Bona chemical that is used. Might not do anything, but I don't take the chance. I wash them sometimes with the rags used to dry out the bathtub or things I use to clean up spots on the carpet.

I always use fabric softener in the rinse cycle and dry in dryer, they came out soft and wrinkle free.

I have did not had a lot of success with it. I use heavier fabrics such as burlap, canvas & terry cloth. Have not used on lighter fabrics so not real sure of results on that type of fabric. I resorted to slowing down & keeping my scissors sharp!

I use "shout" for laundry. Advantage takes spots out of rugs, cleans counters etc.The label says it can remove any dirt from anything with the correct strength. So it should be safe for clothes - 1 part advantage to 5 parts water. Or something like that.

I use microfiber cloths. I buy them cheap in bulk. When one side gets dirty, I flip it over and use the other side, then toss it in the laundry basket.

I use all 3..they mix up the clothes better to dry them faster.. I love them. Don't have static cling not sure if it is the dryer Balls or not.

I've been using them and find that they don't do that. I prefer these to fabric softener because it just dissolves in the water like the detergent does without any stains whatsoever.

You've got me there, Steve. I just throw mine in the washer with regular detergent then into the dryer with fabric softener sheets. They come out fine. If you have more than one pad, why don't you try the S20 Laundry Detergent sheets (I have never heard of these sheets) on it an see what happens. One thinkg you might do is change the speed of the washing machine. I tend to wash mine on a gentler cycle the first few times just to see how they do. If I have been of no help (which won't be a surprise to me), try emailing the manufacturer and asking them. Personally, I think you are safe using your sheets but try them on one first...just to be safe. Polly You've got me there, Steve.

I don't see why not. I haven't used any additives. They pick up any dust without the need. You can always try. If you don't like the way it works, just wash them. They tell you not to use fabric softener. I guess that lessens their effectiveness.

Yes, but it tells you not to use fabric softeners on it. I usually line dry it...it's a GREAT cloth!

Yes - says for all washing machines including "he" here: http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/detergent-booster/boost-your-detergent/ One thing to note: we just got a front loading machine. It says to put the powder in with the clothes instead of the detergent tray. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that. My wife put oxi-clean powder in and there was a hardened ball of it that didn't get broken up so just make sure all your solids are not clumped up when putting into the machine. I just put the borax into the liquid tray with the liquid. Not recommending that. Not discouraging it either. ******One thing: check local prices. My wife informed me that this is less than half at the local grocery store from what I paid here.*******
