Anyone know of a Natural fabric softener, something to prevent static cling?

Question

Can't use store bought fabric softeners or dryer sheets due to my dogs allergies.

Answer 1

I agree with the vinegar. You can even put it in the downy ball if you want to, that way you don't miss the rinse cycle.

If you use baking soda do it in the WASH cycle, otherwise you end up with powdery residue on your clothes, you need to rinse that out.

Vinegar smell dissipates after the clothes are dry so you don't walk around smelling like a pickle, actually it leaves a really fresh, clean, sweet smell.

They may have some sort of ionic device in a ball, or whatever, that can go into the dryer. I have no idea.

For static in the house overall, you can try humidifying the air with a pan of water, a steamer for your clothes, etc. This may help everything, even that scuffle-zap fun that you have with the cat.

Answer 2

I use about a quarter to a third cup of white vinegar instead of fabric softener. Add it in the rinse as you would fabric softener. It may leave a faint odor of vinegar, but it dissipates pretty fast.

Answer 3

Try adding baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to the wash or rinse cycle. It will help soften the water and is a natural product (basically salt).
