Alternative uses for Fabric Softener?

I've switched to using white vinegar in the washing machine instead of fabric conditioner.
Can you list other uses for it because I have half a bottle of Comfort and almost a full bottle of Lenor?
This evening I did add some of the Lenor to my homemade floor cleaner and my kitchen now smells lovely.
Any other uses?

Around 30yrs ago, I used to use it to help 'untangle' my daughter's dolls' hair
.
Fill a basin with warm water with fabric conditioner in it and leave the doll upside-down with it's head in the liquid - overnight if necessary.

For the same reason as you, many years ago, I used to put a capful in a plant spray sized bottle, top up with water and use a bit like Febreeze to freshen up curtains, and carpets. Gives the room a lovely smell. You could also use this when ironing if you like.
Here's some more tips
