I have never been one to use a fabric softener, but then again, I commit the laundry green sin of using my dryer because I am lazy and don’t like stiff crunchy clothes.  It’s not every load that I use the dryer for, but maybe if I used fabric softener, the air dried clothes would be more pleasant for our sensory issues.

We were sent Dropps Fabric Softener Pacs Lavender to try:

Finally, there is an in-wash softener designed to conveniently toss in at the beginning of your wash cycle, thus eliminating the extra, once-common rinse cycle step. Gentle enough for baby’s skin, Dropps’ unique mineral formula softens clothes without suffocating fibers, keeping towels absorbent, athletic wear wickable, and infant clothes flame-retardant. Dropps Fabric Softener Pacs work in all washers and all water temperatures on all fabrics and colors, leaving loved ones with comfortable, clean clothing that has with long-lasting fragrance and freshness.

Dropps Fabric Softener Pacs are also eco-friendly, from formula to packaging. The formula, created from a clay material, is naturally formed from a chemical alteration of volcanic ash that is enclosed in an energy-efficient, dissolvable pac. The packaging, biodegradable and safe in all septic tanks, is part of a revolutionary recycling solution resulting from a partnership between Dropps® and TerraCycle®, the international upcycling enthusiast.

Like any family of four, we do a lot of laundry (at least two loads a day).  One package of Dropps would only last us about a week, which is not realistic for family. Saving these Dropps for loads I know will be hung outside instead of for every load may be a compromise, but the additional expense is probably not something we can add to our laundry routine.

I am pleased a natural alternative to chemical fabric softeners is available for those that want or need it.
