A: Fabric softener can get lumpy if it’s exposed to extreme cold or hot temperatures. It’s ok if you want to continue using it, just be sure to mix a capful of the product with 1/2 cup warm water until blended.
Thinking back, the last time I did laundry before seeing this was probably mid December, right before I left for vacation. I did leave my thermostat at 50F, but maybe it got really cold? It probably has also been over a year since I started using that bottle of Downy liquid fabric softener. Living alone and doing laundry every 3 weeks means detergents lasts for quite a long time. Maybe Downy has an expiration date.
So I was doing laundry this past weekend and when I went to pour Downy liquid fabric softener into my Downy ball, it had clumped together and came out in thick lumps, like pudding. Obviously something was wrong, I tried shaking it and tried pouring again, but didn’t seem do to anything. I was thinking about adding water to dilute it, but after reading the back, it said to never to dilute it with water.

I recently started experiencing hair thinning. Is it possible to grow it thicker again? If yes, any suggestions please?
A healthy diet, adequate rest, exercise, and avoiding stress as much as possible will help keep your body healthy and give your hair the best chance to increase its thickness. Some medical conditions, including thyroid problems, can diminish hair growth and thickness. Scalp conditions can cause hair to become thinner. Minoxidil applied to the scalp may cause some small hairs to grow in areas of thinning hair, but the effect ends once you stop using the minoxidil. Some shampoos can make hair feel thicker, although they do not change the diameter of the hairs.
How does a fabric softener work?
She explains that the “positively charged” fatty acids are naturally attracted to the “negatively charged” garments swirling around in your washing machine. The fabric softener lubricates these fibers and neutralizes the charge, which ultimately protects your laundry from damage and lends to a softer feel.
