Gloopy Fabric Softener

poppyjane

Hi,

I've got some fabric softener, which is so thick and gloopy my washing machine can't get it out of the drawer. It's so thick, if I put enough water in it to make it normal consistency, I don't think I'd be able to fit enough in the drawer for it to be any use. Any suggestions?

Thanks and happy Monday! (If I pretend I like miserable grey Mondays, then maybe I'll learn to love them!!)

Happy Monday

Do you have a spare fabric conditioner bottle (or something similar?), that you can half-fill with the gloopy stuff and water down? Possibly you could water it down with vinegar as that's excellent for clothes, but I'm not sure if it would react over time... I only use half the amount of fabric conditioner that the bottle recommends anyway, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Maybe the clothes won't smell quite so strongly but that's a bonus for me - that smell isn't "freshness", it's chemical fragrance, and in too high a dose it could affect anyone in your family with sensitive skin. Watering it down will make it last longer too, very MSE
