Will these eliminate the need for some form of fabric softener as well, with static cling and wrinkles?

These will clean your clothes very, very well, but they lack the chemicals that remove wrinkles, static cling, or make your clothes softer.

You don't have to use fabric softener, but if you want super fluffy towels/clothes you can use vinegar. Just plain old white vinegar added to rinse cycle. It works just as well if not better than fabric softener. You can even use a Downy Ball and put vinegar inside it so you don't have to "time" when to add it. 1/4C-1C depending on size of the load. Towels come out fluffy and soft. You can also add *dryer balls* to your dryer if you don't line dry. They are made of either plastic or wool and they keep clothes separated and wrinkle free.

Yes it will, it has "built in" fabric softener you could say. I know some people miss the smell of fabric softener though so they use wool dryer balls with essential oils on it (aka lavender). I LOVE soap berries, its all I use now, except for my whites...I do use Oxi Clean along with this. I hope this helps. ~ Blessings, Christina

I don't use fabric softener at all. My clothes and towels are much softer, no issues with static or wrinkles.

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!

Dryer balls are meant to reduce drying time & static cling w/out chemicals and waste of another product(s). A dryer sheet would defeat the purpose, IMO. Also, I haven't used any fabric softener of any kind (liquid, sheets, etc.) for 10-12 years & I find that I almost never have any static in my laundry (very rarely will I have static if I happen to wash towels w/new socks... but once the socks have been washed a time or two there is no static... & even the little static is barely there).

They are fabric (thicker than a sheet) you might need to throw it in the dryer before the first use to get the wrinkles out :)

Really, just wash by themselves (not with any other laundry) in cold water with extra rinse and NEVER use any fabric softener. You get into trouble when you use detergents with extra ingredients like fabric softeners, oxyclean, brighteners, etc. Dry without fabric softeners on low heat. If you air dry the cloth will become stuff and scratchy. And if you wash or dry with other laundry you risk lint balls ruining the cloth.

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

Yes, a bit. To prevent total wrinkling, take them out of dryer (not too hot a dryer) and fold immediately. Or....best is to line dry. they will look 'less polished'....but once you've slept on linen sheets, you won't want any other kind. I LOVE mine!! I got mine from http://www.sofiaslinen.com/

Yes. A simple solution would be to get a downy ball and use it like you were using fabric softener.

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

They are not wrinkle free. However if you take out of dryer quickly they smooth out pretty well. They also get softer after each wash and I am hoping this will elevate some of the problem.

They do, a bit. I was using them for a theatrical production & I sprayed them thoroughly with Freeze. That helped & I hung them outside in the sun which helped more. Washing would do better, but will take out the stiffness. It depends on what you need them for & how stiff you need them to be.

I do get some static on things like nylon but then conventional dryer sheets, etc... don't do much better. I really like these and after getting used to fishing for them in each load, I MUCH prefer them to anything else.

Yes, I do use all three. When it is particularly cold and dry, they do not help much with static cling. However, they have reduced drying time.

I have no idea but if you wash it, I would refrain from using any sort of fabric softener.

Absolutely... And they wash very nice.. no wrinkles... No need to dry... They almost dry instantly... Loved them so much I bought 2 sets..

I use a homemade powder detergent in my HE washer on the regular cycle (hot wash/cold rinse) with an extra rinse. No fabric softener and if you choose to dry in the dryer, no dryer sheet should be used as they will decrease absorbancy. Personally I line dry.

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]
