I use dryer sheets, but only a half sheet per load. A whole sheet is just too much IMO.

I agree.

I use unscented dryer sheets. My sinuses complain when I use the other. Haven't found one that doesn't bother me.

if your just putting it away for a season, i would not worry about it either way. after all, i put my clothes away by the season, and never had a problem.

i use fabric softner sparingly anyways.

i think i will try the vinegar thing.

I also use fabric sheets and even my customers quilts I will stick a fabric sheet in with quilt when they pick it up not had any complaints yet from doing it. Maybe I shouldn't though but really seen no harm though!

You can use Epsom Salts in the wash cycle. The salts will remove any residue on the quilt and leave it very fresh smelling and soft. Also, the Epsom salts works just like color catchers, so if you have any dye that is coming out the epsom salts will catch it and it won't bleed.

Wow that is nice to know that thanks for sharing this. I will for sure remember this.

I use white vinegar in the final rinse for quilts.

i also use white vinegar - i pour it in the fabric dispenser of the washer. It will dissolve any soap residue. The only loads i use fabric softner in is my sheets - love nice smelling fresh sheets on the bed and when i wash sweaters to reduce the static
