This month's featured neighbor is Sharon from Austin, Texas:
I love to use fabric softener with my laundry detergent to make my clothes feel soft and smell great. The
problem I have is trying to match detergent and fabric softener scents. Please help me choose a fabric softener
that will compliment my Tide detergent.
No problem Sharon. I can understand your desire to have complimentary scents – I am the same way with my lotions
and perfumes! Try these popular compatible products to help keep your clothes smelling their best! |

The consistency of using a single scent for all your laundry needs
is important. In fact, were you aware that some manufacturers offer complimentary detergent and fabric softener
scents to help keep your clothes smelling their freshest? That’s right – you can carry that same great fragrance
from wash, to dry, to wear.
So, if you like the refreshing fragrance of Mountain Spring scent, try using Mountain Spring Tide (available in
powder or liquid) coupled with Mountain Spring Downy (available in a liquid or sheet) to ensure that the scent is
consistent from the start of the wash to when you wear your clothes. In fact, Downy makes using a liquid fabric
softener easy with the Downy Ball, allowing you to give your family that freshness and softness you expect from
a liquid. With a wide variety of complimentary fabric care product scents available, doing laundry can now become
a pleasant experience for your senses.
For those of you who don’t care to use scented detergent and fabric softeners, Tide, Downy, and Bounce all make
their own line of fragrance “FREE” products, without the dyes and perfumes.

For good cleaning, load your washing machine carefully and select the proper wash cycle and water
level for the load you are doing. Many common laundry problems can be prevented by filling your
washer in the following manner. First, turn the washing machine on. Then MEASURE your detergent
and pour it into the machine as it fills. Finally, add your clothing. Be sure not to overload
your washer as the clothing needs room to circulate to obtain maximum cleaning.
