All ot does is make the fabric soft? Are yall wearing potatoes sacks?

Having softener does not soften fabric. It's basically just liquid perfume for your clothes. It also shortens the lifespan of your clothes by destroying them.

Lol but detergent can have scent.

Didn't know it wares clothes. Best avoid them. Value it adds seems counter intuitive unless it removes thrift store smell.

If detergent doesn’t remove your “thrift store smell,” you may want to change thrift stores.

We got hand me down clothes from some friends, and they used febreeze on everything. I aired it outside for a month and washed it 5 times with citrus degreaser - the scent never came out.

Nasty stuff

Im shopping at thrift stores....I don't have much options. I hate the smell it never fully goes anyway. Decaying fabric i think.
