Price: Price is another important consideration; you might save money buying larger bottles or bulk. Natural fabric softeners are often more expensive than ones containing chemicals, but harsh chemicals could irritate the skin.

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.Not only will your clothes and fabrics smell beautiful, but they’ll also be softer, easier to iron, have fewer wrinkles and benefit from a decreased static cling. As with all Lenor fabric conditioning products, you can also expect fabric protection against stretching and colour fading. We also like their bottle is recyclable and that their ingredients are plant-based, making it kind to skin and the environment. Lenor Sensitive, like Comfort pure, has been designed with sensitive skin in mind – it is hypoallergenic and it has been dermatologically tested. We're a Surcare household - both the washing powder and softener. My son has had no problems with his eczema since I started using it when he was five months old.

Comfort sells three types of fabric conditioner: Classic, Ultimate Care and Pure. 1. Comfort Classic Lenor sells three variations of fabric conditioner: Liquid Fabric Conditioner, an Ultra-Concentrated Fabric Conditioner and a Sensitive Fabric Conditioner. 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 Ultimate care provides laundry with up to 100 days of freshness, and its pro-fibre technology helps to protect the fibres within your clothes from repeated washing damage.

Cost per wash: 10p | Number of washes: 45 | Litres: 1.58L | Brand: Method | Format: Liquid | Scent: Tropical Coconut | Skin type: Normal | Feature: Vegan-friendly, recyclable plastic What we love 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. Comfort and Lenor burst onto the fabric conditioner scene many moons ago. And over the years they’ve softened our laundry, scented our clothes, and protected our garments from damage caused by continuous washing. 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. We recommend getting a chemical-based softener if you’re all about the scent and want a strong-smelling fabric softener. These fabric softeners often have stronger scents that last longer. For example, Lenor fabric softeners and conditioners can last up to a week after an item of clothing has been washed. How much fabric softener should I use?

Ideally, you’d want your clothes to stay fresh for at least a day, and both brands can manage this with ease. After all, it does depend on your washing habits too.Since the prices of these products changes so often, we’ve decided not to include the exact prices for these items here.

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.

Just remember that these won't improve the smell of your laundry; they just help to soften the fibres! How we chose our recommendations Mumsnetter recommendations There’s not a huge difference between the price of both brands – Comfort does seem to have a slight edge though. However, surely one of the best features of this fabric softener this refill softener can last up to 166 washes and uses 27% less plastic (compared to the equivalent of three bottles you’d need for that many washes) thanks to its large 100% recycled bottle.
