We advise against it for the following reasons:
1. Fabric softeners leave a coating on fabrics that can build up over time. This residue can make clothes feel less breathable and can reduce the absorbency of towels and athletic wear.
2. It contain fragrances and chemicals that can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation, particularly in people with sensitive skin or allergies.
3. It has a negative impact on washing machines, since it can create build up inside it, leading to mold growth, unpleasant odors, and reduced efficiency. This buildup can also affect the machine's longevity and performance.
4. It can increase the flammability of certain fabrics, which can be a safety hazard, especially with items like baby clothes and sleepwear.
Our detergent contains chelating agents that help keep your clothes soft without the need for softeners. However, if you have hard water and need a little extra help, you can add white vinegar in place of the softener in the laundry drawer. And no, it won't make your clothes smell like vinegar :)
