You can make one bottle of liquid fabric softener last for months with a 5-gallon bucket, some water and a couple of sponges. First empty the bottle of fabric softener into the bucket. Fill the bottle with water and empty that into the bucket. Repeat the second step 2 more times. Mix. Throw in a couple of sponges and cover the bucket. Next time you dry your clothes in the dryer, squeeze out the excess liquid from one of the sponges and throw it into the dryer with the clothes like a dryer sheet. After the load is dry, put the sponge back in the bucket and reuse it on the next load. For towels, I use 2 sponges so they get extra soft. It works just as good as adding the liquid to the rinse cycle and better than a dryer sheet.
