Let’s cut right to it: you shouldn’t use fabric softeners.They’re not only bad for your clothes (especially athletic wear, which we’ll get into) but also not great for your health or the environment. It’s just not worth it. Fabric softeners became popular in the mid-1900’s because the dyes, detergents, and dryers were harsh on clothes making them rough and scratchy. However, with better technology, fabrics, and laundry products, fabric softeners are no longer necessary, yet still very commonly used. Educate yourself and do the right thing.
