Someone asked if there might be a way to make your own fabric softener/hammer softener....you'd want to know the ingredients....I guess you'll need to be a chemist or know one to get the proportions.... You can find out ingredients by looking here: http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/prodtree?prodcat=Home+inside&purpose=Laundry&type=fabric+softener click on the brand type....you can click on the ingredient name once the brand page is up...some have fancy names for what they put in there....I like the one they call "hydrogenated tallow"...now that sounds like something we'd like toput in a nice set of german piano hammers, doesn't it? Downy does not list their ingredients, so I'm not sure if what you can find will actually work like Downy does....here's some more....also found in some hair rinses....leave the hair soft and silky.....maybe you could give the piano a real silky tone with it? (C14-C18) Dialkyldimethylammonium methyl sulfate Di (C14-1S-alkyl) dimethyl methyl sulfate Didn't we used to have a Chemist/Caut member, or was that over on the other PTG list? "Science.enotes.com" has an article you might read: http://science.enotes.com/how-products-encyclopedia/fabric-softener cheers...
