Learn how to use Mrs. Meyer's Honeysuckle Fabric Softener to naturally soften laundry, reduce static, and keep clothes fresh with plant-based ingredients.
Quick answer
Use Mrs. Meyer's Honeysuckle Fabric Softener in your washing machine's dispenser or during the rinse cycle to naturally soften clothes and reduce static, thanks to its plant-based, cruelty-free formula.
Why choose a plant-based fabric softener?
Many conventional fabric softeners rely on synthetic chemicals and artificial fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin or leave a waxy residue on fabrics. Mrs. Meyer's Honeysuckle Fabric Softener uses essential oils and thoughtfully chosen ingredients, making it a gentler option for both your clothes and the environment.
Because it is Leaping Bunny Certified and cruelty-free, you can soften your laundry without compromising on your values. The honeysuckle scent—a charming mix of flowers—adds a light, natural fragrance that lingers without being overpowering.
When to skip fabric softener
Fabric softener is not ideal for every load. Avoid using it on towels, microfiber cloths, or athletic wear, as it can reduce absorbency and trap odors. For these items, rely on the softening power of the wash cycle itself or use a half-dose of softener if you must.
Similarly, if you use dryer sheets, you may want to choose one or the other—using both can lead to buildup and reduced fabric breathability.
How to use Honeysuckle Fabric Softener for best results
- Step 1: Measure the right amount: Pour Mrs. Meyer's Honeysuckle Fabric Softener into your machine's dispenser up to the fill line, or use about 1–2 tablespoons for a standard load. Overfilling can leave residue on clothes. Check your machine's manual for dispenser capacity; too much softener may cause buildup.
- Step 2: Add during the rinse cycle: If your machine lacks a dispenser, add the softener manually during the final rinse cycle. Pour it slowly into the water, not directly onto clothes, to prevent spots. Never add fabric softener at the start of the wash—it gets flushed out before the rinse cycle.
- Step 3: Dry as usual: After the wash cycle, transfer clothes to the dryer or hang them to dry. The softener's effect persists through drying, reducing static and keeping fabrics soft. For extra static reduction, use a lower heat setting in the dryer.
