Leno unstoppables

I never use fabric conditioners

Lenor!!!!

These are dangerous to aquatic life, so once they get in the water course they kill our fish etc. These items are just the companies trying to make us think this is another must have item. Personally I have never understood the need to have clothing smelling of cheap perfume all the time and also over time they coat the fibres of the fabric leaving it stiff and flat.

It says on the packet they are harmful to aquatic life. For heaven's sake, why do they make this stuff?

I don’t use anything like that it’s really not necessary I just use powder in the dispenser Don’t need all these extras smells they are a con

They are just a fragrance not a softener.
It’s just another expense, do our clothes have to smell of cheap fragrance?
I do confess to having purchased some for putting inside smelly rugby boots and trainers, it worked.

I use vinegar in place of fabric softener.... softens, no perfume OR vinegar smell!!

Much MUCH cheaper and kinder to the environment

I use white vinegar and a slug of floral disinfectant in my conditioner drawer.. i’ve not used fabric conditioner for years..

My neighbour bought unstoppable, and said it wasn't worth the money.
She likes her washing to smell of conditioner.

No, we prefer our clothes to smell natural after a wash not artificial cheap perfume, would not use any fabric conditioners bad for your clothes & your health

Well, I'm sure this has been very helpful.

The question the OP asked - are they worth the money?
The answer- no.

They are quite nice put into little home-made muslin bags and hung in the wardrobe!

I had to look up what you do with them. No, I won’t be using them. They’re another product that could possibly irritate skin. I stick to the same washing detergent and Comfort Pure so we don’t get irritated.

So good that plenty of people are now not being taken in by the sales techniques for this expensive, dangerous and totally unneccessary item.

There is absolutely no need for any so-called fabric conditioner to be used, it is dangerous to wildlife, and prevents your towels, etc being properly absorbent.

Cut it out and save money.

I never use fabric conditioner. I add a spoonful of sofa crystals and a squirt of white vinegar. Clothes are soft with no artificial smell. Not worth buying unstoppables IMO.

Hmm ... I bet you wish you hadn't asked!

There are so many fragrance things to buy. Do we really need them all. Probably not.

Totally unnecessary. Dash of vinegar works fine. Why throw money down the drain.

Artificial “fragrances” are mainly manufactured from substances that I wouldn’t want wafting around my house, nor washing into my drains to contaminate water courses. I’m always surprised in supermarkets by whole aisles dedicated to air fresheners and the like.

I like to use Comfort Pure in my wash, all except towels, because it does stop absorbency in towels. However I live in a very hard water area and I don’t want my clothes to be stiff and hard, so I use Comfort Pure.
There are lots of flagrant and useless products around which I don’t use. The one that perfumes your carpet, is it Shake and Vac? Air fresheners, which are not air fresheners, they’re just perfumes. There’s one you spray on your clothes, again just a perfume. I have asthma and all these spays really set the asthma off. I don’t buy any of them.

I was given some of these to try. I think they are a marketing ploy to make you spend more money, they are expensive, a faff to use, didn't like the perfume, harmful to aquatic life ( and probably us!) so you can probably get by now they I do not recommend them at all. I have a bottle of Comfort Pure which lasts for ages as I only rarely use it on a couple of fine jumpers & cashmere cardigans.

Thanks everyone for comments. Obviously something to be avoided.

Gave up fabric conditioner years ago. They smell horrible and I can't stop sneezing near them.

I use a little fabric conditioner as I think it makes my T-shirts softer when I dry them outside. I buy Tesco own brand and water it down to half strength. I also only use one tablet rather than the two suggested as my clothes are not really dirty, just need freshening most of the time - I don’t tend to roll around in the mud!!
