Best for: Softening clothes and adding scent in the wash
If your goal is a cleaner, lower-tox option for everyday use, Liquid Fabric Softener is usually the better swap in this category.

Wool Dryer Balls is the clear winner. It is a non-toxic material, making it a much safer swap over the chemical risks associated with Liquid Fabric Softener.
Softening clothes and adding scent in the wash
Often unnecessary for most loads; consider skipping it entirely if anyone has skin or breathing issues.
Reducing static and dry time in the dryer
A reusable alternative to dryer sheets and liquid softeners; pair with fragrance-free detergent for a very low-tox setup.
