Skip the Fabric Softener

Carolina.mccauley answered the question we were all thinking. Do you really need to use fabric softener? Her video talks about its effects on your clothes and towels. Fabric softener makes them less absorbent, and they can make the fibers of your clothes wear more easily. However, instead of avoiding fabric softener, she uses white vinegar for a better swap.

Skip Bleach

Pairswellwithwhine shares a tip to brighten your whites without using bleach! Swapping bleach for Dawn detergent will brighten your whites without the harsh chemicals or smells that come with bleach.

A New Way To Clean the Lint Trap

We all grab the wad of lint from the lint trap or use a cool scrapper we saw to get the lint remnants from the lint trap. But when was the last time you actually cleaned it? The_spin_cycle uses an easy cleaning hack to deep clean your lint trap. Just emptying your lint trap can leave it still clogged with film. Scrubbing it in the sink will help remove ALL the lint and reduce your drying time.

DIY Dryer Sponges

Single-use products are expensive, and we know the damage using fabric softeners in your wash can do. Homewithesther had a great idea to make your own dryer sheet swap! If you’re stuck not wanting to completely forego fabric softener, this tip was made for you! Replace your dryer sheets instead with sponges that are soaked in the softener. This will give you the same scent and all the benefits of dryer sheets in a more natural way.
