    I have a bottle of lavender fabric softener I’ve had for probably 7 years. I use it on blankets and sometimes sheets because I like the smell of this one. Everything else I use is unscented.

    I wash the blankets like once or twice a year unless a cat barfs on it. Then it gets washed again.

    A couple times a year I have static problems. I have a box of dryer sheets that are also at least 7 years old. I reuse them too for multiple loads. Don’t use them for months, get zapped multiple times, throw in dryer sheet, run on low/no heat for 10 minutes, less static electrocution and can fold laundry with less cursing.

    Also if you want to wear something straight out of the dryer that is so full of static electricity it’s sticking to you and turning you into a wizard, zapping everything you touch… a light mist of water helps. Not a drenching. It should dry fast. Also works on hair.
