Let's get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

Buy a 6 pack of good wool balls. Finish up using your fabric softener first and never buy any again.

We tried this. Used them for a while, but ended up going back to fabric softener. The wool balls help, but don't do nearly as good of a job.

I like the smell of the softener. Tbh I never even considered that fabric softener.... Softened fabric... In my head fabric softener = good smelly conditioner.

One day my SO and I were bickering and I was asked what is the point of fabric softener. I said for it to smell good. And they said it was to soften the fabric. Oops.

I’ve used the same three tennis balls going on 20 years now.

I don't care for the softening any more. Softeners also wreck your towels' absorbancy. Never going back.
