I want to use fabric softener in my laundry but I don't know when to add it! When am I supposed to?

The Rinse Cycle! It does wonders!
Dryer sheets don't quite do the job. Softener keeps it 5x nicer.

Fabric softener gets added to the final rinse. Most machines have a fabric softener dispenser, and will dispense it at the right time. If your machine doesn't have one then either you can sit there and watch until the final rinse or Downy sells a dispenser called the Downy Ball. You fill it and put it in the washer at the start of the wash cycle with your clothing. During the spin cycle the stopper comes unplugged and the fabric softener is released. You can use your favorite fabric softener with the Downy Ball. I like Downy's Clean Breeze scent.

There should be a compartment for Fabric Softner in your washing machine. Just fill it before you start the wash, and it will automatically add it when the time is right. You dont have to do anything after that except take out your clothes and dry them. I hope this helps.
PS. You can also buy the detergent with softener added to it, and not need to fill the compartment as the detergent also softens the clothes.
PPS. Dryer sheets are good too.

The time for softener is in the rinse cycle... some washing machines have a "special holder" for that so you can add it when you are putting in the laundry soap... and just forget it!
I tend to forget till it's all done and then it's too late... unless you want to reset it to the rinse cycle... but the other solution is to add a good dryer sheet in your load when you put the clothes in the dryer!

Its extra function I and my mom we use to function fabrics softener the 1st rinse is only eliminate cleansing soap residue and a few human beings like my self use for water softener for difficult water which makes particular situations of water difficult to scrub the garments

Use a Downey Ball!! Easiest to use...just fill with softener, close lid, throw in washer on top of clothes.
It's that easy!
