Why is Fabric Softener so bad?
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) traditional fabric softeners are one thing you should skip all together in the laundry. Why? Because of the potentially harmful ingredients like quaternary ammonium compounds (or quats) which have been shown to cause asthma or trigger asthma symptoms in certain people. Let alone the fact they also been linked to reproductive issues in animal studies, although much more research is needed.
What to Use Instead of Fabric Softener
Wool Dryer Balls are da’ bomb! These solid balls are made of felted wool and the fluff up your items in the dryer, and also absorb the extra moisture in the dryer reducing drying time, and keeping your towels nice and fluffy. Chemical free, and a great way to keep your laundry soft naturally.
2-in1 Detergents with inbuilt softener like SOFT are formulated differently and ours is no exception. SOFT will gently soften your clothes, nappies or towels without nasty chemicals and the best thing – it won’t affect the absorbency. After 2-3 washes you will notice a difference in softness, plus combined with the deep cleaning enzymes you items will be clean AND soft. Plus it smells divine, using natural Australian botanical scents.
