Some items say not to use fabric softener, for example my Bona floor cleaning pad. Does anyone know if Woolzies are okay to use?

Woolzies will be fine. They don't have any chemicals on them at all. You can add drops of essential oils to make your laundry smell nice.

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 use regular laundry detergent, no fabric softener or bleach. The fabric softener would act as a barrier for absorption. The tag on the pads say to machine wash and tumble dry.

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.

No! :) fabric softener will leave buildup/residue on your diapers which will make them less absorbent. Only use a detergent that's free and clear of all dyes and fragrants. I use an organic detergent. It's made by ecos. You can find at Walmart. Good luck!!!

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 use a soft, lint free rag, but that type application is so hard on my back and kneew (I'm 60!), that I have bought a sponge mop and will try that next time.

The fabric softener will eventually plug the micro fiber and they will no longer work as well. The fabric softener leaves behind a residue that does not rinse off and the pores in the microfiber will fill with this residue. If you continue to rinse them with fabric softener, or dry them with drier sheets, in time that will ruin them. They will become just like regular small hand towels. It's worth washing them separately.

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.

The key is to put the solution during the final rinse cycle. You will need to check your washing machine manual to ensure that is when your fabric softener is being added. I usually go to laundry coin operated place since they have the machine I'm looking for also I can load up their machines with 2-3 Gi's.

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!

The bottle says it is "ideal for oolens, woolen blend washables, fleece, delicates and down. Perfect for pillows, sleeping bags and sheepskin products." Since it is used for machine washing sheepskins or other woolens, you might be better asking on their website about these rugs... www.kookaburraco.com Good luck to you.

I just used scent free detergent (I am allergic to scents). However, if you use fabric softener or dryer sheets/chemicals, it will reduce absorbency. I made the mistake of putting them through the wash and then adding a dryer sheet and it took two washes to get them absorbent again.

If you have a piece of leftover flooring try the Goo B Gone on it Another suggestion is to go to Home Depot and inquire I only used the only used the Sticky Paws on fabriccIt did not work any better on fabric

I have been washing warm & drying low. I always wash separately because you cannot use fabric softener.To answer your question, I'm not sure which is correct, but my way seems to work fine.

I have been using cold water for all my laundry. Of course, you should use a suitable cold water detergent. "Woolite" has one and there are others. At first the matter was taken out of my hands by a landlady who used cold water all the time. Since I was using her washer I felt I should do the same. I find that cold water washing is fine. Also, you have less danger of some stains setting and the shrinkage of other items. If you have stains you can get a stain remover. I have found the "Oxy-Clean" stain stick which emits a kind of gel to be the best of all. Hope this helps!

Yes they wash really well I just put them in the washer with my other cleaning towels I use oxyclean and detergent but no softener. I haven't had it long enough to show any wear. I bought extra pad when I purchased the machine so I always have a clean pad. Jo Ann

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.
