Posting on the popular Mrs Hinch cleaning tips and tricks Facebook page, the woman shows how she uses a sponge soaked in fabric softener instead of a dryer sheet to make her clothes smell amazing.
This is combined with a picture showing two standard sponges sitting in a plastic container. The woman then explains how to replace the dryer sheet.
“Game changer! Learnt this tip. Airtight container half water, half fabric conditioner, cut up sponges (not scourer pads) squeeze a Lil liquid out and pop in tumble dryer instead of dryer sheets!” She added.
“Smells so much better (always found sheets never gave off much smell) and when it’s done put sponge back in liquid till next time!” She added.
Nearly 400 people liked the post. They were thrilled to hear about this new clever hack.
“My hubby can’t tolerate anything other than Persil non-bio and comfort pure so there are no tumble dryer sheets for me. Game-changer with the sponges tho, thanks to whoever thought of this” One person commented.
“Just bought sponges to try this,” Another person said the same thing.
However, others were cautious and wondered if this idea would do more harm than good.
One person commented: “Does the comfort not stain the clothes in the drier ?… I know when u put it straight in the drum of the washer it stains so just genuinely curious.”
“Seems like these could stain your clothing if they are not completely squeezed dry. Has anyone tried this? ” another said
