How to Get Fabric Softener out of Clothes
First, stop eyeballing the fabric softener cap. Use the filling line—or even less. Most of us use twice as much as we need, turning our laundry into a wax museum.
Second, if you have a front-loader, clean the softener dispenser monthly. That gunk builds up and then dumps onto your clothes at the worst moment, like a surprise party nobody wanted.
Third, consider ditching softener entirely for everyday loads. Use a half cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle instead. Your clothes will be softer, static-free, and your washing machine will thank you with a longer life.
