My former mother-in-law went nutz on a visit to my place and not only put fabric softener in the wash, she ALSO put 3 dryer sheets in the dryer with the towels.
Those things were GREASY.
They would not absorb any water at all -- I made a "bowl" of toweling and ran water in it and it just SAT there. She just LoOkEd at it like "Yeah? So?"
Had to rewash them with a gallon of vinegar, then a "regular" load with soap and vinegar in the rinse to cut it. I quit using fabric softener that day.
