You'll find no corrosion on the wire. Corrosion happens when metal is 

exposed to moisture AND air. So for your experiment to work, dampen 

the wire with Downy and let it just sit there. But I'm afraid that 

will not give you the results you're looking for anyway. It's the 

moisture in the Downey that causes the wire to corrode. Not 

necessarily the chemicals.

. It is very possible that there are also acids in the Downy that could
instigate corrosion. I'm no chemist, and I don't know. I just recall the
discussion and the conclusion was to recommend against using fabric
softener.

Has anyone experienced corrosion of metal fasteners, i.e. copper
rivets-metal buttons, because of the use of a fabric softener?
