- Fabric conditioner smooths fibres, which means less friction in your wash. Less friction = less wear and tear, which means your clothes will last for longer!
- Because the conditioner will help relax the fibres, your garments are less likely to shrink or misshape during their wash.
- Softer fabric also means fibres will be less irritating on sensitive skin - soft clothes = happy skin.
- By reducing abrasion on the fabric surface, fabric conditioner also helps protect colour in garments, AND garments are less likely to get bobbly too!
- Using conditioner will also help reduce the drying time of garments, as clothing will absorb less water during the cycle, so be less wet by the end.

When to use fabric conditioner
Fabric conditioner is great for most wash loads, especially cotton and wool, but there are some fabrics you don't want to add it to.
Firstly, don't get fabric conditioner anywhere near your sportswear. Many types of athletic wear have wicking technology to absorb sweat from your skin. If you use conditioner on these garments, it'll leave a coating that will prevent them from doing their job!
Also, go cautious with the conditioner on towels and microfibre fabrics. What's great about microfibre is that the intricate threads have the ability to trap dust and absorb spills. However, if you toss it in the wash with fabric softener, you could end up destroying their effectiveness. The same goes for towels, so use sparingly.
For the most part, fabric conditioner will work wonders for extending the lifetime of your clothes while keeping them smelling fantastic for longer. Want to make laundry day a luxury? Try our full range!
