Using fabric conditioner or softner is by no means compulsory, so why do you need to use fabric conditioner in the first place? There are so many great benefits in using fabric conditioner alongside your washing machine detergent, and below we have listed just a few of these benefits which can be achieved by using a good quality fabric conditioner.
- It reduces creasing by lowering the friction between the fabric fibres, resulting in smoother and softer clothes.
- By lowering the friction between the fabric fibres, it also makes ironing easier by allowsing the iron to be moved over the clothes with more ease and less effort.
- It helps to prevent colours from fading by reducing abrasion on the fabric surface. This also further protects the fabric fibres, keeping them smooth and fuzz-free.
- It reduces drying time by decreasing the amount of water absorbed by the fabric fibres during the rinse, which means the clothes are less wet at the end of the cycle.
- It reduces the static charge in clothes by neutralising any charged particles and reducing the friction between fabric fibres.
