I have a lot of nylony/clingly type clothes. I just use xtra fabric softener in the rinse & then after the spin dry I just hang them up on plastic hangers & then just let them air dry inside the laundry room or on the shower rod. For the things left to put in the dryer, I just add a fabric sheet. I don't get any build up of fabric softener and I think my clothes look better & last longer without being put in the dryer. If you don't want commercial fabric softeners then I think vinegar works well too. And I've also heard never to put fabric softeners on towels.
