Many people use fabric softener when washing clothes to make them softer and more fragrant.

But such a product cannot always be used. The fact is that sometimes it only harms the products, spoils them.

What you can't wash with fabric softener

First of all, we are talking about terry towels.

The conditioner damages the pile, "rolls" it. As a result, the material becomes rougher and absorbs moisture worse.

In addition, such canvases soon begin to smell unpleasantly damp. This is due to the fact that due to damage to the fibers, they take longer to dry.

Clothes with a lot of elastane, which are stretchy and great for sports, will be ruined if you wash them with fabric softener.

Natural silk and microfiber are also prohibited from being washed using this additional product.

When cleaning outerwear, when fabrics with protective impregnations are used, there is also no need to use conditioner.

It is necessary to take into account that it reduces the activity of protective impregnations.
