      Downy Unstopables should NOT be used in wax warmers or heated as they can cause health issues. The MSDS for this product states the product should be kept away from excessive heat and open flames.

    For at least 10 years I just put filtered water and softener in a spray bottle..I use it around the house and it also works if you washed a load of clothes and forgot about them over night. Sometimes if you forget to put softener in I spray them before I put them in the dryer😊

      I do that too. Been using that for years because it's natural and smells sooo good 😊 I did that before all of the essential oil stuff became so big. It stays smelling nice longer in my opinion but I do love the smell of Gain! Her homemade spray would be nice to use for a mist on curtains or bedding for the smell we love of climbing into fresh bedding at night.

    I don't use fabric softener/water or febreeze for furniture anymore as it leaves a residue that attracts and holds onto dirt.
    I use water and a few drops of essential oil, just make sure that the one you're using isn't toxic to cats/dogs if you have them. Some are.
    I also put dryer sheets under the couch cushions and down between cushion and arm rest on the couch the dogs lay on.

    Have you ever considered that it might not be healthy to have so much of these in your house to breathe? Because most of these are to be used in washing machines and dryers, not for us to breathe. Just a thought. I admit they would make your house smell good.
