Fabric Softener

End clinging dust on your TV
Are you frustrated to see dust fly back onto your television screen,
or other plastic surfaces, right after cleaning them? To eliminate the
static cling that attracts dust, simply dampen your dust cloth with
fabric softener straight from the bottle and dust as usual.


Remove old wallpaper
Removing old wallpaper is a snap with fabric softener. Just stir 1
capful liquid softener into 1 quart (1 liter) water and sponge the
solution onto the wallpaper. Let it soak in for 20 minutes, then
scrape the paper from the wall. If the wallpaper has a water-resistant
coating, score it with a wire-bristle brush before treating with the
fabric softener solution.


Abolish carpet shock
To eliminate static shock when you walk across your carpet, spray the
carpet with a fabric softener solution. Dilute 1 cup softener with 2
1/2 quarts (2.5 liters) water; fill a spray bottle and lightly spritz
the carpet. Take care not to saturate it and damage the carpet
backing. Spray in the evening and let the carpet dry overnight before
walking on it. The effect should last for several weeks.


Remove hair-spray residue
Dried-on overspray from hair spray can be tough to remove from walls
and vanities, but even a buildup of residue is no match for a solution
of 1 part liquid fabric softener to 2 parts water. Stir to blend, pour
into a spray bottle, spritz the surface, and polish it with a dry
cloth.


Clean now, not later
Clean glass tables, shower doors, and other hard surfaces, and repel
dust with liquid fabric softener. Mix 1 part softener into 4 parts
water and store in a squirt bottle, such as an empty dishwashing
liquid bottle. Apply a little solution to a clean cloth, wipe the
surface, and then polish with a dry cloth.


Float away baked-on grime
Forget scrubbing. Instead, soak burned-on foods from casseroles with
liquid fabric softener. Fill the casserole with water, add a squirt of
liquid fabric softener, and soak for an hour, or until residue wipes
easily away.


Keep paintbrushes pliable
After using a paintbrush, clean the bristles thoroughly and rinse them
in a coffee can full of water with a drop of liquid fabric softener
mixed in. After rinsing, wipe the bristles dry and store the brush as
usual.


Untangle and condition hair
Liquid fabric softener diluted in water and applied after shampooing
can untangle and condition fine, flyaway hair, as well as curly,
coarse hair. Experiment with the amount of conditioner to match it to
the texture of your hair, using a weaker solution for fine hair and a
stronger solution for coarse, curly hair. Comb through your hair and
rinse.


Remove hard-water stains
Hard-water stains on windows can be difficult to remove. To speed up
the process, dab full-strength liquid fabric softener onto the stains
and let it soak for 10 minutes. Then wipe the softener and stain off
the glass with a damp cloth and rinse.


Make your own fabric softener sheets
Fabric softener sheets are convenient to use, but they're no bargain
when compared to the price of liquid softeners. You can make your own
dryer sheets and save money. Just moisten an old wash-cloth with 1
teaspoon liquid softener and toss it into the dryer with your next
load.
