Downy smells like super glued

Sorry, I don't know the new improved name, but my mom has this new downy fabric softener. She has always loved the nastiest smelling chemical perfumes and loooves this new Downy. My partner and I both think it smells like super glue. Of course, the world wide web of lies only tells me how great is works on my weave and how i can make slime outta it. I loathe how everywhere I turn there is a new way to put new toxic gick on my smelly self. Anyone nose anything about this?

Sorry, Alex

I know nothing about fabric softener.  I use a 1/2 to 1 cup vinegar in the dispenser so my clothes will come out soft.  

I also hang them on the line to dry.

My wife and I quit using fabric "softeners" years ago. I certainly didn't find our clothes getting any harder by not using them  We find fabrics to be soft to begin with. Fabric softeners seem, to me, to be something to buy just to buy and aren't necessary.

i don't need or care for scented any thing.for laundry.dishes shampoo's. to what ever.and i won't. and don't use fabric softner or the cling free sheets.i wash my clothes n other stuff in everyday detergent.then dry it..I'm a happy camper with that.

Sure, i figure we're mostly 'good hippies' here, but I'm gonna bet we didn't disown all those who are not. If you would, keep an olfactory open for me would ya?
