What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Many stains occur as a result of improperly following instructions. If you use too much fabric softener, for example, the residue could end up leaving stains. Concentrated fabric softener is more likely to stain than a diluted version. To dilute, pour your fabric softener into the dispenser, then pour in the same amount of water (such as one capful). The diluted softener won't leave a residue on your clothes. If your washing machine doesn't have a dispenser, wait until the machine has filled with water before adding the fabric softener. Pouring it over dry clothes will be more likely to leave a stain. It does the same job without leaving stains. Just pour a cup of white vinegar into the fabric softener dispenser when you do your laundry. The smell will go away after your wash and dry cycles are finished.
Follow the instructions on the back of your fabric softener. Consider diluting your fabric softener. Don't pour it directly onto your clothes. Use white vinegar as a natural fabric softener.
