| + | ===== - Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Not even Once! ==== | ||
| + | That should be all I need to say. Fabric softener is terrible for your clothes, your washing machine, and can cause dryer fires! | ||
| + | |||
| + | This section will be expanded in the future but for now: | ||
| + | * Fabric softener softens your fabrics by coating them in a waxy coating. That waxy coating will build up and build up over time on your clothes with each wash and will be harder and harder for your detergent to get out. This can stress out your fabrics and lead to faster wearing of your fabrics. | ||
| + | * That waxy coating also builds up in your washing machine leading to break down of seals, extra wear on the washer and //gasp!// Scrud! | ||
| + | * Wait dryer fires!? Yeah, you heard that right. The waxy coating sticks to your lint trap, making it less and less effective over time. It can also stick to your heating elements and the inside of your dryer vent line. It's also very flamable, just like the lint you're catching. (clean your lint traps every use and clean your vent line 1-2x a year!) | ||
