Today’s Tip from The Green Year: 365 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Big Difference: “Most liquid fabric softeners contain ammonium chloride, which can harm marine life. You can keep these harmful chemicals from entering the wastewater system by replacing liquid fabric softener with a natural alternative. Try pouring a quarter cup of white vinegar or a quarter cup of baking soda (but not both) into the rinse cycle. White vinegar or baking soda will soften your clothes naturally without any unpleasant odor.”
