I love writing about different products that I try and use in our home with my family.  ARM & HAMMER is a brand that has never let me down – and that is not something I say lightly.  For a long time, I would use two dryer sheets (with the previous brand) during the dry cycle so that my clothes smelled good when they came out.  I’ve been really impressed with the fact that it only takes one of the ARM & HAMMER Essentials Fabric Softener Sheets to give me clean and good smelling laundry!  Right there is a savings for me!

I love the fact that the ARM & HAMMER Essentials Fabric Softener Sheets in Lavender & Linen soften laundry with the use of naturally derived softeners.  Plus, a high five from Mother Nature because they are made with biodegradable softening agents.  I highly recommend you add the Essentials Fabric Softener Sheets to your laundry and get a feel for the world of difference it makes to your clothes and other laundered items!

DRYER CLEANING & USAGE TIP

For more effective drying cycles, be sure to clean the lint trip out after EACH load of laundry you dry.  Simply remove the lint screen and grab some of the lint from the screen.  Use the lint in your hand to pick up other lint off the screen.  By cleaning the lint screen, your dryer will work more efficiently, thus cutting down on the energy costs associated with running your dryer.  Happy laundering!

ABOUT ARM & HAMMER ESSENTIALS FABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS

With ARM & HAMMER Essentials Fabric Softener Sheets, you’ll experience softer, fresher laundry at a fraction of the cost.  The Essentials Fabric Softener Sheets delivers softening and static removal at a fraction of the cost of other dryer sheets.  The Fabric Softener Sheets soften through the power of nature, with naturally derived softeners.  Plus, they are made with biodegradable softening agents.  You can purchase the ARM & HAMMER Essentials Fabric Softener Sheets in stores, retailing for $4.99 each.

MY THOUGHTS

I really love using the ARM & HAMMER Essentials Fabric Softener Sheets and will continue to use them when I do laundry.  Not only does our laundry come out of the dryer smelling clean, but it has that amazing Lavender scent to it!  A huge thanks to ARM & HAMMER for giving me the chance to participate in the Switch & Save Challenge.  It has changed my life!

    I always use white vinegar instead of fabric softener in the rinse cycle. It helps get smells out of clothes and any soap residue.

  10. my laundry tip is too keep a new fabric dryer sheet taped to the inside top lid to your hamper, so that when you open it to get out your dirty laundry to wash or add stinky things too it, you get a whiff of a pleasant scent and nothing eles. thanks I love arm and hammer products

    For stubborn stains spray the spot with Spray N Wash with Resolve then make a paste of Oxyclean and apply that over the stain. Wait 24 hours before washing. This usually works the first time to get the stain out.
