Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

How do I make my own fabric softener tho? One of the things it does is condition the fabric like you condition your hair, to keep its strength and retain its shape. Like if your shirt's neck has become a little stretched out, wash it with some fabric softener and it usually fixes that shit.
I'd DIY my own if I could. I'll probably start using this detergent recipe, too.

Been using a set of wool dryer balls from Trader Joe's for years. Haven't had to use fabric softener at all.
The only reason why clothes get staticky in the dryer is because of the heat. If you run the dryer for 10-20min after drying with no heat they'll come out without a trace of static.
Ive stopped using softener and dryer sheets a while ago; just detergent and for the first load of the week (usually towels) a short cycle with vinegar to clear up any mineral deposits left by my horribly bad hard water.
