Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I agree, I agree, I agree! I am going to try white vinegar in place of fabric softener. The only reason I use fabric softener is that I can't stand " static cling " in the dryer, lol. Thanks for the great feedback.

I really want to know this - because if this is true - wow- it would be great to stop buyin fabric softener! Thanks for any feedback. _____ I have used white vinegar as a cleaning agent in laundry for years, never a problem. And I take excellent care of my clothes, I have T-shirts that are 15 years old and still in excellent condition. (Hint: NEVER put them in a dryer!) As for fabric softening, where did you learn that you " need " to soften the fabrics in the first place? Mine are always soft, and all I do is wash them and hang them to dry. But then, that would be a bit old-fashioned!!! Of course, I use far less electrical power, no chemicals, my clothes last for years and years in great condition, etc. May I suggest this: There is NOTHING from a chemical factory that we need for any part of our personal hygiene or self-care. Run up hills and climb trees, you'll never need a gym. Eat whole fresh ripe raw organic-or-better fruits and greens, and you won't even walk through all those other aisles in the grocery ever again. Use lemon, vinegar, etc. for cleaning, save yourself thousands of dollars and lower the toxicity level of your entire environment. Buy directly from farmers and from sources that use no chemicals, live in service to the entire planet. The first, best way most of us can " give " to ourselves, others, and the planetary ecosystem is simply to stop doing destructive acts. Always ask yourself, how is this activity accomplished in Nature? This is not radical thinking, it is merely the way our species lived for eons, and the way all species in Nature have lived forever. Best to all, Elchanan An e-mail from Joanie May all of your journeys be safe ones. Better first dates. More second dates. Personals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
