Fabric Softener
#1
Do any of you use fabric softener in your rinse water when laundering your quilts? I have new ones that I will soon put away for the season, just wanted to make sure I care for them properly.

I don't like to use a lot of fabric softener for anything, because it's one more chemical on the fabric. I think if you're going to store a quilt I'd treat fabric softener like starch and not use it.

I think you can do it, but if it's going to be stored for a while I'd personally not put any in the rinse...the fewer chemicals you have on fabric when it's stored the safer you are...who knows what chemicals will do over time to the fabric. Guess like many things in quilting it's a personal choice.
