who puts the Fabric Softner in before the rinse cycle?

I always for get to put the Fabric Softner in when it goes to rinse cycle so now i just put it in when i start the washer and my clothes are still soft and a few months ago i noticed on the lid of the washer that it tells about the softner and it dont say you half to wait till the rinse cycle

I wonder where that saying ever came up anyway waiting till the rinse cycle

My washing machine has a spot to put it in at the beginning, and it automatically releases it at the right time. If it didn't, I'd never manage to time it right to get it in the rinse cycle.

Mine also has a place to put the softener and releases it during the rinse cycle.. usually its located in the agitator thing. Theres a hollow area in the middle where you add it..

I just throw the softener sheets in the dryer. I'm lazy, and they're cheaper than the liquid fabric softener.

I don't use softener, exept for towels, sheets etc. It's actually bad for most modern clothes, especially underwear; destroys the elastane.

I put mine in at the beginning too. A few years ago our washing machine at home broke down and we had to use the local launderette, and all their machines had a note saying you couldn't put softener in til the rinse cycle - always forgot!

You put the fabric softner in the ball and pull the plug up, as the cycle progresses, the pressure gets greater in the ball and the plug comes loose at (or close to) the rinse cycle.

It looks like this:

I put mine in the fabric softener hole in the middle of the spinner thing. I put twice as much as it says to, and I put two dryer sheets in each load! They have to be super-soft.
