Do most people use fabric softener? I suppose I never have just due to the fact that my mom didn't and it seems like just another step/Target item that would require replacing/thing I would need to lug up 3 flights of stairs. Perhaps I am being a terrible wife and laundering rough, starchy clothing.
Generally I do 3-4 loads each weekend: lights, darks, towels/sheets, and my delicates-pretty much everything of mine that is not workout clothing. I am a simplify, simplify, simplify, kind of gal, so this seems like the most basic that I can break it down. I use Cheer or whatever is on sale to wash everything but my delicates, in which Woolite comes into play.
I'd be interested to know if there is an overall opinion on fabric softener, specifically after seeing ads for Snuggle Creme-what is that about? The commercial illustrates a woman taking a bath and somehow we should equate wearing clothing to a luxurious bubble bath? No thanks, someday I hope to have a lovely cashmere sweater but that will likely be the closest I come to wearing a "creamy" fabric. I'll stick to my natural cotton in its soft state thankyouverymuch, Snuggle.

I don't use fabric softener either. Like you I think it's because my mom didn't use it growing up.
I hear ya on not wanting to take extra stuff up the three flights.
I use fabric softener. I was originally like you and didn't use it the first couple years after living on my own, but then somehow somewhere I was introduced to it. I must say I will never go back to not using it! It's the best thing ever! It makes your laundry unbelieavably soft and intensifies the fresh, clean smell! =)
I used to use it because my mom did, but andrew was convinced that the fabric softener would never rinse out all the way. So, now I don't use it, but I think the clothes don'tsmell as fresh when I take them out of the dryer....
Hah, I love how our moms really were the influence-and I am sure Freud would have some theory about that! I may have to give it a whirl if at least for the scent. Something about clean laundry gets me every time.
And Kelly-it's only because I actually have a bottle in my 3rd floor apartment already!
My mom was a dryer sheet girl, much less to lug up your stairs. But i have used both. I have recently made my own detergent (save $$ big time) and have been looking into softeners. I read that a table spoon or so of vinegar inthe rinse works and doesn't make your clothes smell like vinegar. I would probably just stick it in my downy ball (makes liquic softener a breeze). anywho...
