Washing with a fragrant conditioner is a routine procedure for many housewives, and most automatically pour the liquid into the washing machine tray.

Only experienced housewives know that this product cannot be used in every case, since it is simply destructive for many things.

We'll tell you in what situations it's best to leave fabric softener alone.

When washing, housewives make many mistakes, for example, sorting laundry only by color, and not by type of fabric.

Another mistake is to overload the washing machine and perform other actions that are described in the instructions of a caring manufacturer of household appliances.

But choosing a detergent is no less important.

And if we talk about fabric softener, we need to delve a little deeper into its composition. The fact is that it contains surfactants and other additives that are not suitable for every material, so it is poorly rinsed, which is why things become hard, prickly, sticky.

For example, washing woolen and cashmere items with conditioner is contraindicated.

Not only will they seem sticky, but they will also lose their main purpose – they will not warm you well in cold weather.

Do not wash down items, swimsuits and tracksuits with conditioner. It will make things take longer to dry than usual, and will also create an unpleasant musty smell.

Finally, you cannot wash linen and terry towels, as well as microfiber cloths, with fabric softener.
