Are Fabric Softeners Good For Your Clothes?

Fabric softeners make your clothes so soft! They must be a good thing, right? Not so fast! The “fatty” substance in fabric softener directly embeds itself into your fabric and gives it the soft feel we’ve come to love. The issue, however, is that our fabrics are designed to be breathable and the softener “clogs” the fabric. It creates a cake-like layer over the fabric itself. Long term this is NOT good for your garments, and can even lead to towels and sheets being less absorbent. Use fabric softener occasionally, just don’t overdo it!Contact Appearance Plus Cleaners if you’d like someone else to take care of your laundry for you! We offer a LaundryBasket™ fluff and fold service where we pick up your dirty laundry, professionally clean your garments, and return them to you freshly folded and ready to wear: https://www.appearanceplus.com/page/laundry-service
