I've heard, can't remember where now, that laundering squirrel bedding with fabric softener could be harmful to squirrels. Any info welcome:thankyou

I use it, no problems here, and I wash everything everyday. I use Downy.

I too use Downy and have never had any problem with it....... I have used both the liquid in the washer and the bar in the dryer.

I had heard that it causes respiratory issues, but can't remember where I read that. I don't use it because the BF and I are allergic to all that stuff, but I know there is something about not using it on pet bedding.....:thinking

I use Downy also - but I use Downy Free - no dyes/no perfumes for sensitive skin - my son and myself have very sentitive skin - I still have to use Dreft for all of out stuff
