I like to hang my clothes out to dry (saving on the electric bill and love the outdoor sent), but want them softer after drying! anything for that? Thanks for the "recipes"! I plan on sharing with my daughter who is trying to use organic/home made with many things around the house! <br /><br />Donna<br />PS Side note, vinegar cleans GREAT! The scent goes away after a bit so dont let that keep you from cleaning with it! and VERY Cheap!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713893888433012458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-72526281247748305342012-03-15T04:55:11.675-05:002012-03-15T04:55:11.675-05:00Thank you for sharing this information to us...

I've never heard of the wool dryer balls. Do they really help with static? That's my biggest concern and why I still use dryer sheets. To use the fabric softener I have to remember to catch the wash at the rinse cycle which I sometimes don't do and I would love to have an alternative.
