Softener sheets won't cause any damage to your dryer, but they can lead to clogged lint filters or the coating of your moisture sensor. If you use them, be sure to periodically clean the screen of your lint filter and wipe off your sensor or it will not heat properly. Back to Top ??'

DO NOT use fabric softeners or treated dryer sheets which can leave a residue that will adversely affect the wicking properties.

Supposedly a dryer repair man (identify unknown) told a homeowner (identity unknown) that fabric softener sheets leave an invisible film on the lint filter that causes dryer fires. Frankly, we don't know if dryer sheets deposit an invisible film on lint filters, but this story seems to have the characteristics of an urban legend.

Yes. You may use any fabric softening products in the washing or drying cycles that are designed for use in home laundry equipment. Please be sure to carefully read and follow the instructions provided by the fabric softener manufacturer. Only use the amount of fabric softener recommended by the manufacturer.

Fabric softener will coat the sock's fibers and not allow them to move as much moisture away from the foot as normal. To remove the fabric softener, simply launder the socks with detergent.

A laxative with a stool softener (i.e. Senokot®•S ) can help provide more comfortable relief when constipation is accompanied with hard, dry stools. The laxative provides the muscle contractions to move the waste through the colon, while the stool softener (i.e. docusate sodium) softens the stool for added comfort.

Yes, but the Miracle Wash balls increase the pH level of the water, which naturally softens the clothes so you don’t need to use a fabric softener. Be aware that most fabric softeners contain toxic chemicals. We breathe the aromatic molecules in the air near the clothes or absorb them through the skin via direct contact with the clothes (which, by design, retain some of the fabric softener molecules).

This is a matter of personal choice. A softener will improve the efficiency and increase the life of appliances using hot water. It will make lathering easier and reduce tide marks on sanitary ware. Some people with skin conditions, such as eczema, have fewer problems if they use soft water for washing. But if you do install a water softener you should make sure that you have a supply of unsoftened water for drinking and cooking.

Yes. Any CUNO water softener may use either Potassium or Sodium Chloride as a re-generant without changing settings. This is of special interest to anyone on a sodium-free or low sodium diet.

No! Most stores that sell softener salt also sell a water softener salt substitute called potassium chloride. The potassium chloride for softeners is just as effective as regular softener salt but adds potassium instead of sodium. The cost of potassium chloride is a little more than regular softener salt but well worth the small increase if you have concerns about residual sodium in your water.

Yes. Potassium chloride can be used in place of water softener salt, though you may have to adjust the fill time. As a result more potassium chloride may have to be used than salt. Potassium chloride is generally more expensive than salt. Call 1-866-725-9662 for advice.

No, the water softener rejects water is salty or brine water. This reject water should be disposed of outside of the reclaim system.

Each school has to see how to fit the program into its curriculum. Some schools send the Primer home, and no class time is dedicated to it. Others use the summary in the classroom, and leave the other components to be used at home. Some schools have reported using the riddles successfully in school (I've had to deal with some stumped teachers ;-). Personally, I use the summary in the classroom, and dedicate 10-15 minutes of classtime to the riddles.

The concept of creating a notebook is compatible with any homeschooling approach. However, we do encourage the use of "living" books. "Living" books are well written and engaging. The narrative and characters come alive. They are unlike most textbooks that present history in the form of a dry outline. The fatal mistake is in the notion that he (the child) must learn 'outlines,' of the whole history... of the world.

Yes. Softside waterbeds are of standard size. Although, conventional bedding fits softsides, it is still sometimes necessary to use deep-sided sheets depending on the thickness of your mattress.

Absolutely. The vacuum pods will pull to the surface with about 600 pounds per clamp. Just push down hard until the gasket makes a seal, and the clamp will do the rest.
