Fleece in the Winter question.

[Daina91880]

I know, I know... another fleece question... but I got my girls in the early Spring, and I've yet to deal with the problem I'm dealing with now. I know you're not supposed to use fabric softeners on your fleece when you wash it, but is there any way to deal with the static electricity without it? I just took my latest load of fleece out of the dryer and it's crackling like crazy! Help!

I've read two things while searching for the same..

1) Adding 1/2cup of white vinegar to the wash during the rinse cycle. (thus acting as a natural softner)
2) Taking them out before they are 100% dry and allowing them to hang/air dry the rest of the way.

I always wash them with vinegar, so that didn't help. Maybe I'll line dry next time and see. Thanks

I add one dryer sheet in the winter. They still absorb urine perfectly fine.
