Lots of people want to use natural laundry soaps, but that really does the environment no good if you then don't also use other eco-friendly products as well.

However, not all such products are made the same. Some work better than others, for example.

In addition, the ingredient lists are obviously different, and some people may differ on how really green some of these products may be since the terms "natural" and "eco-friendly" aren't regulated in any way for advertising purposes.

I've compiled a list of lots of available products you may like to try. There are more traditional versions of products that have just had their formulas tweaked to be more green, while others are more innovative in their approach.

Available Liquid Fabric Softeners & Dryer Sheets

Here is a list of the available products in alphabetical order, plus reviews of them provided by readers, where available.

Not all of these products are available for purchase online, but when they are I've linked the image to a place you can purchase them, if you want. (Please note I've used affiliate links, meaning if you purchase the product through them I get a small commission.)

Arm & Hammer Essentials Dryer Sheets

Arm & Hammer Essentials dryer sheets, mountain rain scent

Arm & Hammer has a line of products called "Essentials" which are derived from natural ingredients.

It used to be that they also made detergents to go in this line, but all that is left now are these dryer sheets, in either the Mountain Rain or Lavender & Linen scents.

The ad says that the softeners added are eco-friendly, but nothing is said about the composition of the actual sheet, so it is unknown how good for the environment that part of the product is.

You can read more, in general, about Arm & Hammer dryer sheets here, although I don't have any reviews of this type yet. If you've used them, please click the link to share your review.



Attitude Liquid Softeners & Dryer Sheets

attitude baby fabric softener

attitude reusable dryer sheets

This brand has several liquid softeners available, in Citrus Zest and Wildflowers scent, as well as a scent free version which is hypoallergenic (pictured on the left).

They can be used in either regular or high efficiency washing machines.

Also, not pictured, Attitude has one laundry detergent plus softener available, in Mountain Essentials scent.

In addition, the brand also has a dryer sheet, but it is a bit unusual compared to some others.

Instead of using the sheet one time and then throwing it away, each of these sheets is reusable, up to 300 times to soften and reduce static cling.

I don't currently have a review of this product, so if you've used it please share your review here.

Babyganics Dryer Sheets

Caldrea Liquid Softener & Dryer Sheets

Caldrea fabric softener, lavender pine scent

Caldrea dryer sheets, blue basil sage scent

Caldrea is a high-end brand with highly scented products which it calls "aromatherapeutic." The scents come from essential oils, mainly.

The liquid softener is plant derived, but there are no such claims for the dryer sheets (plus they contain some synthetic scents, as well), so I question whether the sheets are as eco-friendly as some of the other products in the line.

There are a wide variety of scents available, with more scents for the softener than the sheets.

I haven't received any reviews of these products from readers, so if you've used one of them please share your opinions here.

Dropps Softener Pacs

Dropps fabric softener pacs, lavender scent

dropps fabric softener pacs, scent free

Unlike some of the other fabric softeners which are on this list, which you pour into the fabric softener dispenser, Dropps fabric softener is contained in individual pacs. There are several scents available, as well as a scent free version.

Further, this softener is mineral based, instead of oil based as some of the other products on this list (even if the oil is plant-derived, instead of synthetic.)

You can read more about Dropps fabric softener pacs here.

I haven't got a review of this product yet though, so please share your review here, telling me what you thought of this product.

Method has a couple of different green softener products, including a liquid softener for use in the washer as well as a dryer sheets.

The company used to have a dryer spray, which it said was basically a dryer sheet, but without the sheet. It was certainly a different way to soften clothing, but it doesn't appear it caught on, and they brought back the sheets.

I don't currently have a review of any of these products, so if you've used it please share your review here.

Charlie's Soap makes a scent free green laundry pretreater.

In addition, it has created a laundry booster and hard water treatment, which uses "biodegradable phosphate" to soften wash water. The company tries to expain how this is safe for the environment, but I have my doubts about phosphates ever being safe, so you be the judge of this particular product.
