4 reasons to skip fabric softener

Most of us want our clothes to feel soft and smell fresh. But did you know that store-bought fabric softeners and dryer sheets are full of "secret and toxic" chemicals? These chemicals aren't just bad for the planet—they can be bad for your home and your health, too.

1. It makes your clothes less clean

Fabric softener works by coating your clothes in a thin layer of "goop." At first, this feels soft. But over time, that goop builds up. It makes it hard for water and soap to get into the fabric.

The result? Your clothes stay dirty on the inside, and they stop soaking up water (which is bad news for your towels!).

2. It can be dangerous

Some fabric softeners use fats and oils to make clothes feel smooth. These oils can actually make your clothes burn faster if they ever get near a flame. Scientists found that cotton and polyester clothes become much more flammable after being washed with these softeners.

3. It builds up inside your machines

The same waxy stuff that builds up on your clothes also builds up inside your washer and dryer. The build up can make your machines work harder, use more power, and break down sooner. Fixing a broken washing machine is very expensive.

4. You Don’t Need It!

The best news is that you don’t need these harsh chemicals to have soft laundry. You can get clean, fresh, and soft clothes using natural ingredients that are safe for your family and the Earth.

Forever Lab Concentrate helps you clean your clothes effectively by removing the the dirty stuff from you clothes and not masking your clothes with artificial scents. 

Plus you can use Forever Lab Oxi Powder to clean your washing machine weekly to completely to get rid of all the build up completely.
