The other day I was in my local grocery store and I happened to pick up a bottle of fabric softener to check the ingredients. I am curious like that. While I have been known to make my own
laundry soap and
hang my clothes outside (or on bars over heat vents) to dry, I have to admit I like my clothes to smell nice and "clean." But what
IS the smell of clean that comes from fabric softeners? What ingredients make up that blue, green, yellow or pink liquid that we pour into our washing machines, infuse into our clothes and then pump out into our septic systems, sewers and waterways?
