Comfort Apple Blossom Fabric Conditioner 33 Wash 1.16 L

Product Information

When it boils down to it, both Comfort and Lenor create great fabric conditioners of various strengths that are easy to use. Comfort and Lenor’s products aren’t badly priced either, and they also come in various scents and bottle sizes, so there’s something for everyone. The bottle for this Comfort Fabric Conditioner is made of 100% recycled plastic and is 100% recyclable** The best fabric softener to buy is the Fairy Fabric Softener. Safe for the whole family, it’s hypoallergenic and has been dermatologically tested, which means it shouldn't irritate your skin. It also keeps your clothes feeling soft and smelling fresh for days. According to a YouGov poll, Aldi is the nation's favourite supermarket, and with prices like this, it's a no-brainer. The cost of living crisis has everyone tightening their belts, so we recommend Aldi's Almat Clear Skies fabric softener as a great savvy swap and our best budget title winner. At just 2p per wash, it is by far the cheapest on this list. Mumsnetters love it, too, for its fresh scent! Using too much fabric softener can damage your clothes and fabrics and leave a residue that won’t wash off, which, in turn, can attract more dirt. Using too much fabric softener can also turn whites grey and clog up your washing machine. What is the best fabric softener?

We love that this fabric softener helps to reduce static cling and has a soft floral scent. And who doesn’t love buying a big bottle of fabric softener that can last for up to 240 washes? That should see you through a few months of washing, at least. What can be the best alternative to fabric softeners? Scent: There are plenty of different fragrances to choose from, including apple blossom, coconut or vanilla. When selecting a softener, think about your favourite scents and find a fabric softener with those ingredients. Alternatively, you might prefer a fragrance-free option. Both brands sell products that cover their main audiences – those who need a regular conditioner, those who need a more intense conditioner, and those who need a more sensitive product. Comfort is currently working on a Long Live Clothes project, which is all about making fashion more sustainable. The thinking behind this is that we should manage our wardrobes better, and should make better and more conscious fashion choices. Flame-resistant clothing (such as children's sleepwear or baby clothes): Fabric softener reduces the flame-resistant coating on clothes, increasing flammability.No, fabric softeners aren’t the same as fabric conditioners; although fabric softeners and fabric conditioners are two terms used interchangeably, they do have different functions and purposes. Fabric softeners soften your clothes, improve their feel, and make them smell better (which can be optional as some are fragrance-free). Fabric conditioners reduce static cling, minimise colour fading, reduce the snagging and stretching of fabrics, and some also contain a fragrance.

In addition to this, both brands’ products typically come with a screw cap measuring cup, so you can accurately measure out the dose of conditioner you need. This limits how much wasting you can do, and it also means that you get accurate washes per bottle. Cost per wash: 7p | Number of washes: 21 | Litres: 750ml | Brand: Surcare | Format: Liquid | Scent: Fragrance-Free | Skin type: Sensitive | Feature: Vegan-friendly, Fragrance Free, Allergy UK approved What we love I find the same, and I've had many washing machines over the years. I can smell [the fabric softener] when I bring the wet clothes out of the machine, but once they are dry, I don't smell anything. Then I tried Lenor Burst of Sunshine. It has a lovely scent that lasts for ages.” (Loved by Mumsnet user PivotPivotPivottt) Our verdict Our Apple Blossom fabric softener leaves your clothes smelling fresh with the sensational long-lasting fragrance notes of sweet apple and floral jasmine with a musk base

2. Best budget fabric softener: Almat So Soft Clear Skies

There are, of course, some users who think that Lenor’s scents can be a tad too strong for them. Although other buyers say that when a scent is too strong, they just half the dosage, and this helps. It also means that you’ll get a few extra washes out of a bottle if you do this. There really is a mixed debate on this particular topic. And ultimately it comes down to personal preference. Some scents by both brands are strong, and can be overpowering to some. While others like the pungent perfume that lingers on laundry for days on end.

Each day holds the promise of incredible moments, new sources of joy reborn, moments that feel like firsts again, that give a day’s worth of joy, beauty and comfort. In “Apple Blossoms”, the Irish poet, Louis MacNeice (1907-63) gently reminds us of this simple fact. Whenever we feel jaded about life and think we’ve seen it all, maybe it’s time we give ourselves a moment’s pleasure, and sit at the lakefront and take in the beauty of the light dancing on water, like it was the very first time.There’s not a huge difference between the price of both brands – Comfort does seem to have a slight edge though. Aldi Clear Skies (blue) or Comfort Apple Blossom, they are lovely and fresh" (Suggested by Mumsnetter Milliemoo1908)

Ecozone's vegan-friendly and cruelty-free fabric conditioner is the perfect eco-friendly alternative, much like the best rotary washing lines and a set of clothes pegs are to tumble dryers. It is free from synthetic dyes, petrochemicals and tallow, which is rendered animal fat. Ecozone’s brand focuses on using only natural plant extract ingredients in their products, which means you can feel good about yourself whilst keeping the fibres of your clothes feeling smooth and soft. It’s not always possible to see the whole brand selection of either of these brands’ products in shops – you don’t always see every scent or bottle size at the supermarket, for example. The young couple, who are made from rags and cloths, live in the fictitious world of ‘Clothworld’ and are part of Comfort’s advertising program. In the ads you regularly see Lisa and Darren using Comfort’s products to keep themselves clean as they go about their lives.
