FABRIC SOFTENERS
There’s nothing like
the soft, comforting feel of freshly-dried clothes, especially when
you’ve used lots of fabric softener either in the wash or the drier.
It’s like conditioner for your clothes, cutting down on static cling
and making your jeans soft and wearable. But is it really as safe as you
think?
Fabric softeners
contain oils that reduce free electrons and cut down on static, which
also reduces the stiffness of clothes. Since it’s left in the clothes
after washing, or even added while drying, the oil residue remains next
to your skin and is absorbed into your body through your pores.
Consider the following
problems:
Fabric softener perfumes often contain ethyl acetate, benzyl
alcohol, camphor, ethanol (which is on the EPA Hazardous Waste list),
limonene, linalool, and a-Terpineol. These chemicals cause respiratory
irritation and even failure, headache, nausea, dizziness, anemia, liver
and kidney damage, CNS disorders, and respiratory edema – and many of
them have the EPA warning to wash hands after handling!
Most of the dangerous chemicals in fabric softeners are most
dangerous when inhaled – what’s the first thing you do when you take
your fluffy, sweet-scented clothes out of the dryer?
Fabric softeners used on fluffy materials like your child’s
fleece pajamas or your terrycloth robe and towels can increase
flammability.
Rather than making your
family comfortable, your fabric softener may be putting them at risk!
Instead of using toxic
commercial fabric softener, try adding a quarter-cup of baking soda to
your wash cycle to soften fabrics, and a quarter cup of white vinegar to
soften and eliminate cling. Or you can look online or at a local health
food store for a natural fabric softener. You’ll be doing your family
a favor.
