Product Information

Pop a Pod in your washing machine drum and pour a slosh of Fairy Fabric Softener into your machine drawer for snuggable comfort and softness. It'll leave your baby's clothes smelling amazing, too!

Alternatives - There are other options, such as soap nuts, which aren’t detergents but will still clean your clothes. When my first was born, I used some random powder, can't even remember what. He came out in a rash (quite a bad one) and the midwife advised us to change to Fairy... and wash all his clothes again! Which was fun, but yeah, that's supposedly the best for babies. I've never switched from Fairy since.’ These pods are great at removing stains from clothing as well as keeping whites bright, and I use two of them in my wash because I live in a hard water area. These pods don’t contain any of the biological enzymes that make up many other detergents. Instead, they are made without any harsh chemicals and are much less likely to cause irritation.Simply put, biological laundry detergents contain an enzyme that actively works to break down stains and remove them from fabric. While this is obviously great news for the more (ahem) sullied of clothes, it is by definition a little bit harsher, so it can be damaging to delicate clothing (wool and silk, for example) and more sensitive skin. Although some disagree, the rule of thumb is that it's best to try different types and see what works for your family.

That should see you through a few months of washing, at least. What can be the best alternative to fabric softeners? I find the same, and I've had many washing machines over the years. I can smell [the fabric softener] when I bring the wet clothes out of the machine, but once they are dry, I don't smell anything. Then I tried Lenor Burst of Sunshine. It has a lovely scent that lasts for ages.” (Loved by Mumsnet user PivotPivotPivottt) Our verdict The only real downside to Fabulosa Laundry Cleanser is the lid design makes it impossible to measure out the required six capfuls without wasting liquid.These capsules ensure a powerful stain removal feature and will keep the colours in your clothes looking bolder and brighter for longer. The best fabric softener to buy is the Fairy Fabric Softener. Safe for the whole family, it’s hypoallergenic and has been dermatologically tested, which means it shouldn't irritate your skin.

When bought in bulk, Bold’s laundry pods are one of the most affordable washing options available, and this is even more effective with the fabric softener being included. The price can fluctuate quite regularly though so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on them and buy when the price is at its lowest.

I think the addition of a similar style cap or marking on the existing cap on the fabric softener would be amazing. I kept putting in too much or too little simply because there was no accurate marking. There are many laundry detergents, so how do you know which is right for you?
