Liquid fabric softener boosts the burning speed of all-cotton clothing including fleece, terry cloth and velour, according to the consumer watchdog Consumer Reports. Use dryer sheets for these clothes instead.
But 'green' folks do warn that the chemicals in dryer sheets are something to be avoided--possible skin and respiratory irritation--especially babies. Dryer sheet build-up can cause clogging of lint filters so that might be the source of my erroneous warning.
