The fabric softener list. :D

Vaska

We have sandy's, grovia AIO's, BG pockets with microfiber inserts, and cotton velour fitteds. No repelling, no issues. And it smells and works better than Ecover.

FYI Purex Crystals is not a fabric softener, it is just a laundry enhancer to add additional scent to clothes, especially if you use an unscented detergent. I make homemade laundry soap for our clothes, so I use it on them to give them a scent we miss.

I'm going to try to get some Ecover or Mrs Meyers this weekend and see what it does for my prefolds. They aren't a soft as I would like them to be, so hopefully it works.

Does anyone know if either of those are safe for a septic system?

Giving this a little bump because I recently tried Method fresh air scent and it's gross! I line dried the other day and had to rewash everything the smell was so bad! I've had good results with Ecover pink cap, can't find yellow local. Tomorrow I try Snuggle. Worst case is I have to strip sometime down the line. But I'm a bleach lover and use regular detergent too...

Thank you for this thread. I thought softener would ruin my prefolds, so I haven't been using any. Now that I see this, I'm going to try & find some ecover or 7th generation (hopefully at a local store) & try it out!

Interesting! I may have to pick up some 7th gen! Thanks for the post!

I've used a dryer sheet before accidentally and it was fine, so I do it occasionally now. I think Ecover works really well too though.

Ive got wool dryer balls on the way and am excited to see how they work...

I use Ecover with the pink cap and I really like it. Once my current bottle is gone I am going to try seventh generation. I was able to find some at Albertson's and it is cheaper than the Ecover and you get more. I'd like to try Mrs. Meyer's, but it is $8.99 for a 30 load bottle and I'm just not willing to pay that much.
