(I'm sure they don't call it Lavender Vanilla, it's a fancy marketing name) And they have both the Downy fabric softener and the Downy dryer sheets in the same scent.

I use white vinegar that I add to the liquid fabric softener dispenser in the washer. I live in AZ where it is very dry and don't have any problems with static. The white vinegar also helps cut thru the residual suds left in the rinse cycle so clothes come out cleaner. I didn't think it would really work before trying it but I am a believer now! lolCactusneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063893333954556967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-3111241419642205802012-03-16T13:40:41.870-04:002012-03-16T13:40:41.870-04:00I agree...love to have my detergent and fabric sof...I agree...love to have my detergent and fabric softener in the same scent. My favorite detergent is Mrs. Meyers clean day, lemon verbena scent. You can also make homemade dryer sheets by using your liquid fabric softener on old wash cloths. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons on the wash cloth and use the same as a dryer sheet. Rewash the wash cloths periodically and repeat with the fabric softener. You could also cut up an old towel to make the cloths.Anne S.

I somewhat agree that the added chemicals/perfumes aren't always good for your clothes and machine, but I just don't have enough hours in my day to make/maintain a supply of all-natural soap (I'm lucky to squeeze in time to wash a load every night).Doodlebug + Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204764801226594692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-40457359327196879032012-03-16T06:15:29.721-04:002012-03-16T06:15:29.721-04:00I really appreciate with this blog.It really infor...I really appreciate with this blog.It really informative for us.It extra ordinary creation on this blog.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sconto-promozionale.com/" rel="nofollow">codice sconto</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-55234430348910349732012-03-16T05:58:22.733-04:002012-03-16T05:58:22.733-04:00Put me in the unscented camp also, especially loti...Put me in the unscented camp also, especially lotions that I put on my face.

I wish manufacturers didn't feel like everything has to be scented. It's difficult for those of use who are sensitive to scented products. Just being near some scents can give me an instant headache. I made the mistake of letting my mom wash some of my clothes when I was home visiting - I couldn't wear them until I'd rewashed them in unscented detergent.<br /><br />I've started using dryer balls to cut down on dryer sheets. The jury's still out on whether that works for a real winter. It was fine for the summer.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687940102998242654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-40565506415558478752012-03-15T14:05:21.794-04:002012-03-15T14:05:21.794-04:00Since I've started using homemade laundry dete...Since I've started using homemade laundry detergent, I find I don't like my clothes smelling like anything but clean.
