  • Do fabric conditioners cause stains?

    There is a small risk of staining when using fabric conditioner. This increases if the product is poured directly onto fabric. To help prevent staining, avoid pouring fabric conditioner directly on your clothes, follow the directions on pack.

  • Are fabric conditioners bad for my washing machine?

    Provided both washing machine usage and fabric conditioner dosage instructions are followed, fabric conditioners can be successfully used in most washing machines. To ensure the fabric conditioner dispenses during the correct rinse cycle, make sure you add it to the appropriate dispenser drawer. If you are using a top loader ensure you add it to the final rinse.

    It is also recommended that you regularly place your washing machine on a cleaning cycle and cleaning any detergent or fabric conditioner build up from dispenser drawers this will help you achieve the best wash possible from your machine.

  • Does using a fabric conditioner damage any elastic in my clothes?

    Fabric Softener should not cause any damage to the elastic in your clothes. Washing your clothes on a high heat is what causes the stretch in the elastic to break up, so keep heat to a minimum to maintain the stretch factor.

  • Does using a fabric conditioner make my towels lose their absorbency?

    As fabric softeners coat the clothing with an oil or wax like substance to make it feel softer, it has been shown that this reduces the absorbency of the fabric but only minimally.

    This can be a problem for items such as dish cloths and towels, which are designed to absorb water and other liquid spills or splashes. You will need to decide if the trade-off of soft scented towels is worth the minimal loss of some absorbency.
