Is fabric softener really necessary when doing a wash?

And if it is, why? Also, which is better, the sheets or the liquid form?Is fabric softener really necessary when doing a wash?
No. If you do decide yo use fabric softener, the liquid seems to make things much softer.Is fabric softener really necessary when doing a wash?
yes and no if you want your clothes to smell good and be soft then yes if not don't use it experiment see what happens
I think it is necessary, it makes your clothes much softer. I prefer the liquid, I dont know if there is much difference between the two.
no not really
It depends on how hard or soft your water is, and the weather conditions of your area. If you have a vast difference in humidity, you'll have more static. If your clothes snap, crackle and pop when you bring them out of the dryer and they're clinging to themselves for dear life, then you need fabric softener. If you don't get zapped by your laundry, or if you're not zapping anyone else, then you don't need it. It does actually make the clothes feel better against your skin. Oh, a footnote with fabric softener...if you use it on towels they will not be as absorbent, so you might want to skip using it on them.
not really if you have to go to some formal occacion and you have to wear fancy cloathes you might want to
No. Fabric softener serves to do two things to your laundry. First it makes the clothes softer (hence the name). The second is that it (usually) contains a scent that remains on the clothes after the wash is complete. This may or may not be desirable. In the event that you like the softer feel of using fabric softener, but don't like the scent, several brands now make unscented fabric softeners.





In at least one type of laundry it is reported to be a bad idea to use fabric softener and that is towels. According to what I have heard, it reduces the towels absorbency. Though, I admit, I have never been able to tell the difference myself.
it is not necessary but using softner helps you not to have electricity on your clothes. I reccommend using it for darkcolour clothes, jeans, sheets, and towels.
not really but it makes everything smell soooo good. liquid or sheets are both good but you get what you pay for. buy the good kinds.
If you live in a hard water area - Totally!
No not really. Fabric softener makes clothes nice and soft while dryer sheets reduce static cling and a nice scent.
No I never use it when I'm washing but I use dryer sheets so there isn't so much static
No. It's just supposed to make your clothes softer and fluffier :)


I don't usually use it, and when I do, I don't notice a difference.


It's all a preference thing :)
Yeah, it makes the fabric nice and soft smells better , and when you wash your sheets with it it makes you sleepier (you naw what I mean feelin' me)
not if you put sheets in the dryer but if u r doing clothes that r not meant to be dried then use the liquid in the wash and wash your delicate alone do not dry them. The dryer may cause them to rip or shrink.
liquid and inless you want your clothes to be hard don't use it!!
No, I prefer suavitel which is a mexican secret weapon here all the mexicans here smell april fresh and it was the biggest mystery to me for the longest time and I finally discovered their secret. It comes in liquid for and sheets I like to use both myself.
Fabric isn't absolutely necessary. But it does make clothes softer and have less static cling. Liquid is better if you air dry your clothers. Otherwise, sheets are fine in the dryer.
Well if you like your clothes to have the texture of sandpaper, you can skip it altogether. Or you can use Tide that has Downy in the same bottle.
no ,not necsary.





I f you are a single male,make sure you get the unscented kind. Women look for that smell to determine if your married or live at home with your mom.
No, it is not necessary, although it does remove static. It also makes your towels less absorbent.
You don't have to, but you'll have static cling until you do. I prefer the sheets, but it's really up to you which one you use.
I don't like it because I think it makes my skin itchy , I maybe allergic or sensitive to it. But my husband and his family use it and those strong smelling dryer sheets, in every wash to soften the clothes...but they smell like it , there homes reek with the smell of fabric softner...and they don't realize it. I don't use it in my home because I want people to smell my perfume and I don't like uneccessary chemicals in my home.
You can use vinegar instead and your clothes will smell clean and fresh. try it you'll see.
