All supermarket own-brand laundry stuff has been cruelty-free for years. The Co-op was the first to adopt it… If you want eco-friendly too, or just don’t fancy own brand, then Bio D and Attitude are both good.

Here are a few things that both brands are doing right now to help the planet.

Classic also comes in different sized bottles, so you get more washes from some bottles. For example, Comfort Blue Skies Fabric Conditioner comes in bottles from 21 washes to 85 washes, but other fragrances, like Comfort Cherryblossom and Sweetpea Fabric Conditioner comes in a 33-wash bottle. While the Comfort bottle is bigger, it only gives you 58 washes compared to the 60 washes offered by the Lenor product. Therefore, Lenor Outdoorable Ultra-Concentrated Pink Blossom works out slightly cheaper per wash. Skin type: Another consideration when buying a fabric softener or conditioner is your and your family’s skin. People and families with sensitive skin should opt for hypoallergenic products that have been dermatologically tested to minimise the risk of skin irritation.

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.Comfort is currently working on a Long Live Clothes project, which is all about making fashion more sustainable.

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. This product naturally softens all fabrics and adds a sweet-smelling freshness to your clothes. Made from plant-based and mineral ingredients (with no palm oil), this fabric softener cares for your skin, clothes and the environment.

Everybody knows that the best laundry detergents, whether powder, liquid or pods, lift stains and kill bacteria. However, you might not know that every time you wash your clothes in your washing machine or tumble dryer, you could damage the fabric leading to faded colours, smelly odours and itchy, rough clothes. Hence why choosing the best fabric softener can be so important. It is one of those magical cleaning products that can prevent damage and transform sweaty, tired clothes into freshly smelling, soft and pristine garments that you’ll want to wear again and again.We're a Surcare household - both the washing powder and softener.

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.

The house smells so nice now.” (Recommended by Frozenintime) At the time of writing, a 1.16-litre bottle of Comfort Pure giving 33 washes costs less than a 930 ml bottle of Lenor Sensitive which gives 31 washes. Therefore, Comfort’s product is cheaper per wash.
