It worked really well. I prefer not to use fabric softener sheets. I hate touching them! lol. My favourite (Canadian) detergent is Sunlight but there is no such thing in Denver! Right now we have fabric softener sheets from a friend (I can only have so many downy balls!) and I detest using them (they smell fruity/flowery - target brand ugh). I keep telling myself to give 'em up and toss 'em but it feels so wasteful and as the wife of a student I'm doing a pitiful best at being frugal! Maybe I will let them bit the dust.

We are definitely on the same page with the laundry smells - too much = YUCK! Jackie - I do use both! Some might think it is overkill, but I find it works well for the water hardness in my area. I use about half the Downey than they recommend and if I don't use the dryer sheets as well, I get to deal with clothes that are crunchy and static-y. No thanks! Catherine - That joke was hilarious!

As the daughter of a dry cleaner I've seen too many problems with the deposits from them on items. But I am with you on the scent of things- I hate, loathe detest !!! the sweet sickly smell of so many of the laundry products out now - way too heavy and overpowering. You heard the joke the single guy tells about how you can tell a married guy from a single guy at a (ahem) social gathering? He explains that women are like wolves- they mark their territory- The married guy smells like fabric softener. lol.
