Don't use it on towels! It coats them in silicon (to soften them) and makes them less absorbent!

I have used it for years and never noticed a difference.

I always use a fabric softener in the dryer, I never use the liquid, only for convenience sake. Sometimes I use them again, but I never heard of not using them on towels. What's the reason for that?

I'm talking about liquid softener - not the sheets. The liquid softens by putting silicon onto the fabric, and with towels that makes them much less absorbent.

Why not on towels? They need the most help fluffing up and softening up. Unless you're allergic to them, then no fabric softener at all on anything right?
