Do you have to use a fabric softener with this?

I suppose you could; however, I choose not to. My daughter has very sensitive skin so we do not use it. Despite that, I feel like our clothes still come out soft and smell really clean. We've used these exclusively for several years now.

I fill up my fabric softener reservoir with distilled white vinegar. Been doing it for years, and it works really great, no staticy clothes!

I'm all natural, so never use fabric softener. There sometimes seems to be a little static, depending on what is in the dryer, but the close, especially towels come out nice.

I've been told you don't need fabric softener. I've done about 6 loads so far with the soap nuts (but that's only 1 time per garment so I don't have a long time reference) and I also use wool balls in the dryer instead of fabric softener & I did leave them in. Confused yet??? The short answer is I didn't use commercial fabric softener & mine came out fine!

I found the clothes to come out gray without some kind of additive. Not worth it

I wash it in the washing machine with rags, etc - no Fabric Softener - I ordered a beck up refill so it is ready when I need it. I really like the product. I hope this helps.

I always use fabric softener too and I have not had any issues. The tyler scent overrides the fabric softener.

I wash them on the gentle cycle with my dusting cloths and other floor pads that I use in my basement and set it at extra heavy soil. I use cold water, no fabric softener. I never put them in with regular clothing or anything other than cleaning rags.

I plan on trying to wash it in washing machine and yes prob on the gentle cycle- but haven't yet - others claim to have and I'll soon find out as well. But was told do not use fabric softner - since it is microfiber.

I have never had that problem. I would try wiping down the pillow with a dryer sheet .... FYI, I use Zum natural laundry SOAP (not detergent) on all my stuff and it does not require that you use softener and I've never had problems with static with this or anything else and my clothes, sheets and towels are cleaner and softer than when I used to use the commercial stuff. Good luck!

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.

The microfiber part of the mop is a "sock" type cover. You slip it on the base and secure the ends with the Velcro tabs sewn on the inside edge of the cover. When you need to clean just undo the Velcro and slip the "sock" off the base. When you wash the microfiber "sock" close the Velcro tabs and toss in the wash. Do not use fabric softener with any microfiber product. This product is wonderful on our new hardwood floors. Its all I use.

Works great in HE machines. I no longer use fabric softener-the clothes come out so clean you don't need it!

Hello, We have not had any reports of this item smelling like fabric softener. We would suggest contacting the manufacturer directly for further information.

They are great but I don't use fabric softener. The towels are not stiff out of the dryer. Very happy with this purchase

Yes. This is what you WANT to use Woolzies for. The fabric softener 'coats' the microfiber pads. I've noticed that my cleaning towels are more absorbent and softer now.

I throw them in the washing machine after I spray them with shout. Don't use fabric softener on them though.

I have not used bleach or fabric softener; as softener tends to decrease absorbtion aftee a period of time. I have used prewash and washed in hot water. They are feels great I would recommend.

I have washed mine several times. I just throw it in the washing machine, and tumble dry it on the lowest heat setting. Couldn't be easier. Regular laundry detergent, no fabric softener. I wash and dry it with towels. I have had no difficulty with the fibers coming off on the towels, and no issue with lint from the towels on the duster. It comes out like new every time. With a replacement head available for under $10, I will continue to do this, and happily replace it, when it is finally worn out. It couldn't be any more user friendly or easier to clean.

I have some similar cloths I bought elsewhere and I got ripped off but they also said don't dry with fabric softener. So I'll remember, I wash them in my regular wash, with the usual underwear, sox, etc. But I put them in a lingerie bag so I notice them when I'm putting things in the dryer. When I see them, I immediately put them aside and hang them on a rack to dry. And I think these are like mine so they take little time to dry. Hope this might help!

Fabric softener adds a layer of 'water repellency' to fabrics, giving them a softer hand. You're really not supposed to add fabric softener to your bath towels as it diminished their absorbency---but who wants to dry off with sandpaper? For the FIRST wash, I washed mine in the hottest water, with just laundry soap--nothing else, and subsequent washings were just done the way I do all my laundry: with a scoop of Oxy and the Downey Ball. They work perfectly.
