I just use a splash of fabric softener. I want my sheets hung on the line outside to smell like fresh air!

Unscented everything not just laundry products due to health reasons. I've always thought that clothesline dried laundry smells so much better.

I agree with the unscented everything, but it seems like it's getting harder and harder to find unscented products.

It's Tide and Downy for me. Wish we had a clothes line, but living in the country with corn fields, you never know about the birds flying over or dust from the fields.

I have been thinking about trying to make my own laundry soap. Would you care to share your method/recipe?

As different scents bother me, I have switched to using 2 dryer balls instead of the dryer sheets. I've had mine at least 5 years and still look like new so it also saves money on buying the sheets.

Unscented-- I wish the stores would find a spot for all the unscented things like soaps-deodorant-shampoo/conditioner and laundry products. Going up these aisle's takes my breath away. There are way to many over powering perfumes in such a small area.

The scents bother me and I read an article where tests had been done and they found that the scents used can cause cancer so I am glad I don't us any of it.

I like the smell of "fresh" the out side scent. However, not all housing areas will allow a clothesline outside. I buy a good essential oil in the aroma I want and sprinkle about 10 drops on a clean rag and pitch it in the dryer. The scent lasts a long time. I was told many years ago not to use dryer sheets because they deposit a waxy oil to your dryer and clothes.

Use unscented laundry and vinegar for softener.
