Hi I'm Joyce Danielson for Expert Village. To help you element static cling and make your clothes feel softer and smell fresher you should add fabric softener. Fabric softener is available in both liquid form and sheet form. The liquid form is added during the washing cycle, the sheet form is added during the dry cycle. Fabric softeners both liquid and dryer sheets add product to your product. Some of the softeners are wax base which leave a coating on the fibers this helps creates a softer feel that reduces absorbency of the fiber. Some softeners have a perfume that is allergy related for many people. If you have ever used a fabric softener dryer sheet with you polyester garments you may have seen grease spots appear on your garment. This is actually a wax and can be removed by rewashing.
