Comfort Apple Blossom Fabric Conditioner 33 Wash 1.16 L

Product Information

Fabric softeners soften your clothes, improve their feel, and make them smell better (which can be optional as some are fragrance-free). Fabric conditioners reduce static cling, minimise colour fading, reduce the snagging and stretching of fabrics, and some also contain a fragrance. Although it can't compete with the 240 washes of Fairy Fabric Softener, we love that the Lenor Burst of Sunshine offers long-lasting freshness and softness for your fabrics and helps reduce wrinkles and static cling, making clothes easier to iron (you won't even need your best clothes steamer). Our only recommendation is that if your skin is sensitive to strong fragrances, you might want to do a little test before you commit to the change. That said, it is dermatologically tested and made from plant-based ingredients that contain 0% dyes.

With Lenor's Burst of Sunshine Fabric Conditioner, you can breathe in the fresh scent of summer, no matter the season.
