I would`nt use it .

I use cheap white vinegar or epsom salts....bit more environmentally friendly and doesn't leave a fragrance.

It's true. Dryer sheets have chemicals, perfume and undisclosed ingredients that would best be left off our quilts, especially stored ones. I've done the dryer screen test - running water over it. If the water pools up and won't run through its because the chemical buildup is preventing proper air/water flow. Detergent and a scrub brush will remedy the situation but think what it does to our fabrics. I'd definitely refrain from placing fabric sheets directly on or between quilt folds.

I found the link (below) that actually lists the carcinogenic related chemicals in dryer sheets. Plus it offers a safer alternative but I cannot vouch for it since its new to me. Perhaps other members here have used the Static Eliminator?

After one allergic reaction to fabric softener, i never use and my quilts (and clothing) are nice and soft.

You only need about a tablespoonful of epsom salts, just dissolve it in water before you add to the rinse cycle.

How much Epsom Salt per load?

Agreed.

As I was doing laundry today I was rethinking the fabric softner useage. I do like extra fabric softner in my flannel sheets. I had a doctor tell me one time not to use fabric softener sheets bc it can cause skin irritation. I never use softener in fabric bc it you plan to applicate it's much harder to get the bonding.
