    Vinegar keeps your washer and water pipes clean too. I add it to the liquid fabric softenergy dispenser.

    Place them in the garage to keep out the mice. They hate the toxic smell.

  3. Me too! I don’t use detergent at all though because all detergents are basically chemicals… Why not use real soap? 🙂 Detergents were created in the WW1/WW2 era due to shortages of veg and animal fats used to create soap. They’re (detergents) mostly petroleum based and are still prevalent/popular because of high profit margins for companies and lower consumer cost. Plus, companies can make them ‘idiot proof’ with other chemicals, like optical brighteners, that make everything look clean (even when it’s really not). A lot of folks don’t know that when you dry your clothes after washing in detergents, VOCs are emitted, making for poor indoor air quality (even if your dryer vents to the outside). Go soap and you’ll never go back!!!

    And now cancer is epidemic. Coincidence? I highly doubt it. We are a chemical nation that is slowly reaping what we have sown.

    Folks with asthma, M.C.S., C.O.P.D. and other breathing issues are effected by these as well as other strongly, chemically scented produced items.

    People shouldn’t be able to smell, in some cases, taste the underlying chemical from your perfume or dryer sheet stink from 30 feet away.

    Aluminum is lethal as well though 🙁 maybe the wool balls or other ideas are a better alternative

    I use Seventh Generation laundry soap & add some Purification. Also Seventh Generation dryer sheets…they work ok also use those spiky plastic dryer balls with the dryer sheets to reduce the static. I have made my own dryer sheets with vinegar & essential oils, they worked ok but not great.

    Aluminum foil wadded up into a ball will stop static cling from the dryer but does nothing for the scent obviously.

    I don’t use a dryer, never have, detest them. Dry ‘au-natural’ and outside in the sun when sunny. Save elec / save money. Dryer ? Nutty ! God’s sunshine, plus, extra bonus, sunshine IS anti-bacterial.
    As for fabric softener – no thanks. A little vinegar in the rinse section is all. Have used such for *years. And am 80 !

    I use Young Living toxic-free laundry liquid soap. I no longer need fabric softener or dryer sheets. Awesome! Remember everything you put on your skin or breathe in goes inside your body.
