    I have been using vinegar for over 30 years because besides replacing the fabric softener, it also helps with odor. I was a practicing Pediatric Nurse Practitioner for over 20 years and worked hard to discourage parents from using fabric softener/fabric sheets. They coat fabric and decreases absorption (towels, cloth diapers, tee shirts). Also, it can cause dermatitis in infants and young children. Do we know what chemicals are in the softeners? Vinegar is non-allergenic and a lot less expensive.

    They sound useful and I already use vinegar in my rinse cycle.
