fabric softeners

Clothes texture improvers

Fabric softeners are laundry products that reduce static cling and make clothes feel softer.

They work by coating fibers with lubricating chemicals, typically added during the rinse cycle or in the dryer as sheets.

The softness comes at a cost—residue can reduce towel absorbency and irritate sensitive skin.

I stopped using fabric softener on my workout clothes because it trapped odors.
