Tips and Tricks: This is especially great for sheets and towels—it makes them so soft and fluffy!

How to Use: Add 1⁄4—1⁄2 cup to your machine’s fabric softener dispenser per load of laundry. If your machine doesn’t have a dispenser, you can put the fabric softener in a washing ball or add during the rinse cycle.
