Do they actually soften your clothes like liquid softener does?

It isn't the same because they aren't leaving anything on your clothes like a chemical softener would. They help with the static a ton as long as you use enough per load size.

yes. Just like washing a wool sweater. I use Woolite or some other mild laundry detergent in cold water. Put in dryer with no heat and then line dry. Looks and feels like new.

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 do use a little Clorox (1/2 cup) when I wash them. The label says DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER. I don't even put in a dryer sheet.

I don't remember but I've washed them in the washer and they are fine. Just like all workout gear avoid softener I personally avoid the dryer but it may be safe

Yes. They are not luxurious by any means but are soft. They also handle washes great.

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

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.

I have an HE machine and it didn't get my clothes clean, and left reside on my HE machine. The liquid works better, but contains harsh chemicals.

Fabric softner can be oily/moist like lotion and may change the texture of the pads. I wash them the same way I wash my kitchen towels - liquid detergent, NO fabric softener, set the washer to do an extra rinse and into the dryer (no softener sheets). No "lotiony" feel, just clean. I hope this makes sense and you find it helpful.

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

I washed my sauba shirt in the "delicate" cycle, cold water, no fabric softener... didn't lose its shape or shrink. Hang dry.

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.

Although I read many positive reviews (the reason I purchased), I was not pleased with how it washed clothes or more like "not washed" clothes. When I use "new" type of clothes detergent I always start with dark clothes, thus I'm not looking for brightness but a true washed clean smell, no perfumes etc. That said, my dark clothes did not have the "clean washed smell" I was expecting, which was amplfied by dryer. I went back to Trader Joe's liquid detergent, which works extremely well and 1 to 1.5 cap can indeed do entire wash.

You add them to your clothes before washing. They melt as they wash. They make clothes smell good, I prefer dryer sheets, but if you don't like dryer sheets this is a great option.

After I place my clothes in my front load washer I use the cap to add the pellets to the laundry. The fresh sell lasts longer than liquid fabric softener.
