If you use a dryer, stop. Air drying will add a ton of time to the lifespan of your clothes. I started air drying my jeans, crewnecks, and shirts. They feel better and the smell of the laundry detergent stays in the clothes. Makes a huge difference.

Whenever I hang dry towels from the dryer (with much less detergent than the instructions recommend and using an extra rinse cycle), they end up feeling coarse. If I dry in a dryer, even on low heat, they feel soft. How do you get towels and clothes feeling soft and fluffy without using a dryer?

Not if your washing stuff that’s greasy or if you’re trying to remove a stain of some sort and using something like Shout.
