Fabris softener!

[Tri Girl]

I'm afraid the less I know about this topic, the better. I've already stopped eating meat for the most part because of guilt over using animals (but occasionally I'll crave it and I give in, I just do some penance to make up for it). If I started digging deeper I'd have to drasitically change my diet in order to not feel guilty. I'm changing one small step at a time...

Oh, now that my head is clear - there's one very easy way around the horse goo problem: I do not use fabric softener.

I don't even use a drier (or is it a dryer?).

I love how towels get all hard, it's like free loofah in the morning - invigorating.

Just noticed this when I was grocery shopping tonight - Seventh Generation now makes fabric softener dryer sheets. They use plant-based ingredients.

Aside from the animal matter, fabric softener is the mortal enemy of most of the technical fabrics that our fine (aka pricey) performance outerwear (and some innerwear) is made of. I do use Method or Seventh Generation for the sheets & towels.

yep, fabric softener bonds with your wicking fibers and clogs them up so they don't work any more.

I use nature's freshener.... line dry!!

I would love to line dry but we live in a very moist environment so it won't work for me.To bad I would love to dry my clothes like that.

I will be going the vegan route!
