Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t recommend using any fabric conditioner on baby’s sleepwear. Your children’s sleepwear may be labeled “Flame Retardant”. It’s important to know that the ingredients in fabric softeners may mask the flame retardancy of 100% polyester sleepwear. We therefore caution against the use of fabric softeners on flame resistant fabrics.

Each dryer sheet is formulated with enough active ingredients for one laundry load. Re- using a sheet may not provide the same benefits as using a new one. Therefore, we recommend using a new dryer sheet with each load.

Sure! Place an unfolded ARM & HAMMER™ dryer sheet in drawers, closets, hampers, stored suitcases, waste baskets automobiles and any other place you want smelling fresh and clean. Avoid placing the sheet in direct contact with clothes.

Dryer sheets are designed to provide softening and reduce static that can occur in the drying cycle. You won’t get the same level of performance using the dryer sheets in your washing machine as you would using it in the dryer.

Yes, for large loads or to achieve extra softness.

We recommend tossing a damp bath towel in with your smaller laundry loads. Doing so will help to avoid staining that can occur on some fabrics when they come into direct contact with any fabric softener.

Often spotting will occur when a fabric softener sheet is used with a single item. Spotting occurs when the softening agents on the sheet have not been distributed evenly. In order to prevent spotting, please refer to the previous question regarding the use of fabric softeners with small loads.

If spotting has occurred, you can remove spots by rubbing them gently with a mild bar of soap and then re-wash the garment.

ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda is all natural. It will work well with and is safe for any septic system.

ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda is 100% sodium carbonate and it is used as a laundry booster and general household cleaner.

It softens the water when added in the washer along with laundry detergent. Soft water aids in the rinsing process by removing minerals, soap and detergent deposits that build- up in your laundry. Your laundry will look brighter and whiter as RainDrops rinses away the dulling residue that detergents and hard water leave behind.

ARM & HAMMER™ Clean Scentsations In-Wash Scent Booster adds long-lasting freshness to every load of laundry.

Hard water is water that contains dissolved minerals such as calcium, manganese and magnesium. Clothes washed in hard water tend to look dull, grayed or yellowed. Repeated washing of clothes in hard water causes them to stiffen, fibers may deteriorate and your garments may wear out faster.

To avoid pak not dissolving, consumers should place pak in the bottom of the drum before putting clothes in the appliance. The consumer should ensure that they follow product instructions as directed.
