Here is a great suggestion for anyone who is concerned about the cost, mess and/or quality of commercially purchased dryer sheets or fabric softeners:
Get a bowl, an old hand towel. Soak the hand towel in fabric softener. Squeeze out any remaining drops from the towel.
Hang it over a chair (or outside on a clothes line) to dry. Make sure the towel has been completely dried. it can take three days or longer!
Make sure it dries completely!!!!!
After the towel dries you just throw it in your dryer along with clothes and use it as a dryer sheet for 40-50 loads before soaking again. My clothes are softer then they have ever been when I used fabric softener.
