message: **Safety of fabric softener used in bath water? malisa101664
I have a question. I have a friend who adds liquid fabric softener to her bath water as a skin softener. She is a diabetic and I am wondering is she putting her health at risk?

message: Would you rather die from the chemicals in fabric softener?  I would prefer to use vinegar and/or
baking soda (no bleach mixed with vinegar because it makes toxic fumes) as an alternative to absorbing the chemicals I have listed at the bottom of this page under Health Effects.

thread_title:  Health Risk Update 

message: The source cited for the "Risks" section (http://www.ourlittleplace.com/notice.html) seems pretty poor.  It's a personal home page, and many of the conclusions that it makes seems spurious or unsubstantiated. I didn't remove any of the material, but if there aren't any better links, there's a lot of basically un-sourced content in that first paragraph. -Kadin2048 02:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'd say whoever put up the Risks section never verified their information with reliable sources. Well, how about these two pages? I'd say those look like more reliable sources. Anybody think so that might put up a section about this? YAOMTC (talk) 16:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

: Every single one of these sites uses the buzzwords "toxic" and "chemicals". It's very TOXIC! It has so many CHEMICALS! Yeah, so does breakfast cereal. What exactly does that mean, though? I'd like a citation to a proper encyclopedic or scientific article that is unbiased on the matter... 24.150.164.214 (talk) 14:23, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

message: This article contains some good starting info for the beginning of an article. Should it be cleaned up? What is the right format for an article like this, btw? Somecrowd (talk) 04:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup?

message: The Health Concerns section is clearly copied and pasted from the reference website, as well as being poorly sourced (only that page) and potentially unreliable.  I am not rewriting it for these reasons, however I think it probably could be made useful with a bit more in depth research, so I have also not deleted it. I think it is fair to say a reasonable number of people do have health concerns, whether you agree they are valid or not. I suspect this particular copyright holder might not mind the violation.--AJGordonWright (talk) 09:24, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Dryer sheet has been a redirect to the "Fabric softener" article since 2006. The current article however does not specifically mention them.  Perhaps it should? -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:13, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
