I have not experimented with different detergents. My clothes are almost exclusively cotton and the city water probably is medium hard. But if I were to put a pair of blue jeans out to dry on a rack, I would expect the jeans to be so stiff when dry that they would almost stand by themselves. And badly wrinkled too. Underwear, flannel shirts and T shirts would fare no better.

Maybe it is your detergent? I've never dried my clothes on anything but a
rack or clothes line all my life and I've never thought of the results as
stiff. Perhaps you could explain the problem?
