Do you use fabric softner or dryer sheets? I use fabric softner, because I hang alot of my clothes to dry, and I love the smell! ;)

A couple of my kids are allergic to fabric softener of any kind. I use the wind to soften my clothes when its windy, otherwise were just use to not quite so soft.
Both :D
Hubby does most of his own clothes and doesn't have the patience to hang them out, so he uses dryer sheets.
I on the other hand do my laundry (his good clothes) and everything else and hang everything out, so I use Downy. :)

When I can't hang outdoors, the sheets, when I can the softner ball.:)
Both, depending on my mood and which clothes it is.

If I have to use the dryer, then I use dryer sheets. Otherwise I don't use anything. And we don't mind the "scratchy" feel of towels and the like. I love to have my bedsheets crisp from air drying.

I use both. Right now, I have the sheets. I think hubby likes the softener better. It does seem to make things softer. The dryer sheets seem better on static than softness.

I have been using sheets, but now that I have an outside line, I'll be using the liquid! :)

Depends.........if I am hanging stuff on the line I use a liquid softner in the wash, if it goes in the dryer I throw in a dryer sheet.

I don't use either. We have a lot of allergies so I don't add anything to our wash. I wish I could use Downy, I love the smell!

If I use the dryer then dryer sheets, and when I do have the liquid I will use that although I don't buy it much

We live in an apartment and the laundry room is more like a closet at the end of the building. So, I can't stay with the laundry and it's hard to guess when to go down to put the liquid in, so I use the sheets. I tried the ball but it didn't open most of the time. Hubby prefers liquid, but it's just too inconvenient in our current situation if I can't count on the ball doing its job.

I grew up with my mom not using them, so I don't either.. I think, because I am not use to it, the smell is a little overwhelming for me.. I don't like the smell of Tide either....;)

I always use liquid. My favorite is downey soft ocean mist. I am also known to throw a sheet in every once in a while. I wish downey would make soft ocean mist in sheets too!

I use both. I love the Downey lavender and vanilla scented. It smells lovely and not too perfumey.
