Fabric softener is used to prevent static cling and , obviously, to help fabric feel softer. Popular brand names include Downy and Bounce. Most washing machines have a dispenser to add fabric softener to a load of laundry automatically. Liquid fabric softener is added near the end of a wash cycle, either automatically or by the user. Another form is dryer sheets. These are added to clothing in the clothes dryer to soften and prevent static. Dryer sheets can also be used to keep clothes smelling good while being stored.

Trivia: On the Simpsons (TV show), Milhouse's mother does not believe in fabric softener, so on a spending spree he does his own laundry using fabric softener.
