In a one quart spray bottle put 3 Cups of water and 1 Cup of your favorite concentrated liquid fabric softener. Shake well.
When you’re ready to dry your clothes, just spray the mixture — 3 or more mist sprays — on the inside of the dryer and then toss in the clothes.
Works as well or better than fabric sheets, is environmentally sound, and can make a single bottle of fabric softener last as long as a year depending on how many loads you do in a month and how concentrated the softener is.

Very nice tip! I can hardly wait to give it a try for our family. I like the idea of not having the clothes saturated in fabric softener as well. Thanks a bunch!
Better idea is to line dry! But this is good when it rains or you don’t have indoor dry racks.
I line dry but hate the crusty, crinkle feel of my clothes. So here is what I do. I wash as usual, line dry till they are almost completely dry. Then I throw them in the dryer for just a few minutes. If there are completely dry before I put them in the dryer, I spray a few squirts of water on them, just to lightly dampen them. Now, though, I think I will use this fabric softener trick instead of water.
