Debunking Fabric Softener Conspiracies

Fabric softeners are one of the several laundry buddies that we all use in our weekly household job - laundry. That much is certain. A fabric softener’s job, as the name implies, is to soften the harshness of the wash cycle in your favourite clothing items. It also provides freshness and suppleness to your garments, and some kinds can even offer colour protection to keep the fabric's colour.

Euca is an eco-friendly company that offers a wide selection of laundry and cleaning solutions made from natural components obtained locally in Australia. Let us go over some fabric softener facts that you should be aware of, as well as debunk some myths about our trustworthy laundry necessity.

FACTS

  • Anti-static. The slippery feel to your clothes upon pouring on the softener during the rinsing phase serves a purpose. Fabrics have a negative charge, while fabric softener has a positive charge. The opposition in charge makes the surface change to neutral, and this ensures that your clothes will not stick to your hands or each other.
  • Provides a soft feel and touch. This is the primary purpose of the fabric softener. The clothes achieve a soft feeling by applying the fabric softener during the rinse process.
  • Easier ironing for clothes. The extra lubrication that the fabric softener provides to clothes makes ironing them as easy as it should be. Integrated with Euca’s Linen Spray and Ironing Aid, leaving your clothes creaseless and fresh.
  • Reduced drying time. Fabric softeners also aid in assisting your clothes to dry quicker as it denies excess water absorption. Do not stress about your clothes not being thoroughly cleaned as you should only add fabric softeners during the rinse cycle.
  • Bye-bye skin irritation. Fabric softeners and brighteners are mildly acidic, and with that, it helps to neutralise the pH level among fabrics to reduce the risks of your skin becoming irritated. This can be attributed to alkaline residues or even some agents from other laundry products used such as the detergent.

Euca’s Soft Wash is an excellent addition to your laundry routine for protecting your woollens, delicates, towels, and doonas. This product can be used as a supplementary washing aid, and the natural soap formula makes it ideal for handwashing and soaking. It is also a low allergenic blend, making it suitable for everyone in the house, particularly those with allergies - a product that is necessary on laundry day.

Let us now investigate some of the mysteries and even conspiracies, surrounding fabric softeners:

  • Can fabric softeners make your clothes waterproof?

This is true, but only when the amount of fabric softener used exceeds the suggested level. However, it can cause a buildup of softener on your clothes, which can be difficult to treat in the long run. If this occurs, simply rinse the garments without the softener to treat and remove the accumulation on your clothes.

  • Can fabric softeners turn your white clothes yellowish?

This is a frequent issue with most fabric softeners from previous generations. Some of the agents are suspected of changing the colour of your garments, particularly white ones. As the clothing continues to soak in the compound, the yellowish tinge becomes increasingly visible, resulting in the colour fading.

However, more recent fabric softener and brightener formulas have thankfully adapted to this worry, and we now see fabric softeners that claim to protect the natural colours of the clothes being treated, including white ones.

  • Can fabric softeners cause gunk and gum buildup in your washing machine?

This could be one of the most commonly asked questions about fabric softeners. Its effectiveness on cloth, on the other hand, could be a burden to the machine. Although overuse could be a factor, gunks and fillers in some of these products can potentially cause clogs.

It’s essentially the washing powder fillers reacting with the raw chemicals in supermarket fabric softeners. Many fabric softener brands are petroleum-based and include animal fat, which can clog your washing machine (especially if it’s a front-loader) and pipes. Fabric softeners can potentially promote mould growth in your machine as well.

Euca does not employ fillers in our products. We also formulate our own Fabo Concentrated Fabric Softener and Conditioner to work in tandem with our laundry solutions, so you never have to worry about mould, gum or sludge build-up ever again.

So, yes, you can use a fabric softener to make your clothes feel great and many other great benefits - all thanks to Euca’s Fabo Concentrated Fabric Softener and Conditioner!

If you’re looking for quality fabric cleaners that look after the health of your clothes and washing machine, look no further, because Euca has the answer! Find out more at and search our diverse range of eco-friendly laundry products at www.eucaonline.com.au.

My best decision ever!
North QLD, 1 Oct 2021
I am thrilled with the Euca products knowing that every cleaning product that I buy has integrity in the making, honest disclosure and transparency regarding ingredients and genuine pride in a truly Ozzie grown company that has had to compete with the giants on the market and their covert practices. The cleaning results of the laundry products are second to none. I have a family member with a sensitivity to allergens in products that are on the shelf in our supermarkets. Euca products have not only solved this problem; they are economically more viable for families.

Fantastic products, fantastic people, fantastic service, what more do you need? We love the Laundry Liquid and so does our grounds that have gone from straw to grass in weeks after we diverted the washing machine outlet. The dishwasher has never looked so clean after switching to the Peppermint Dishwash Powder. Highly recommend this company where it appears to me that quality still wins out over profit, a rare commodity in today's world. Bravo!

We have been using the washing liquid and Powder for years this product is the best one for super sensitive skin. The product lasts for ages and smells clean and fresh. We have just started using the dishwashing liquid and impressed with the performance, we hardly use any and still get a sink full of bubbles everything comes out sparkly and smells clean and fresh.This is a great Australian product and we now have our grown up children also buying it . We buy direct from Euca .

I have been using EUCA Laundry powder for some time now and bulk purchase. I am the distribution point for my family who also use the product. I have recently started using the Automatic dishwashing machine powder. We have found all EUCA products perform as promised and are economical to use. They are an Australian owned company who manufacture excellent products in Australia so lets all get behind them and support jobs in Australia.

Have been using the laundry detergent for years after being given a sample at a hardware store. We were travelling at the time and it was promoted as most environmentally friendly. So happy to discover I can buy direct now and cut out middle man. Now trying pet shampoo and dishwasher powder. Awesome Australian company with a amazing products.

Absolutely love the laundry soaker. I use it in every wash and find that it’s safe for all colours and it helps to clean the clothes. As I have a hubby who tinkers in the shed everyday, I find that soaking his stained clothes in laundry soaker overnight, assists in removing those stains. Also, I find it’s excellent for soaking cleaning clothes overnight. All the stains come out. Impressed!

Just been trying the Eura Shield barrier cream and I can tell you it's the best I've used. ( long time user of Protecta and Jungle brolly) Amazing for oil and solvent protection and does offer a water resistant way better than the others. Kudos to you guys I will definitely be trying your other products.

The washing laundry liquid is incredible cleans our clothes wonderfully in my front loader! I love that it comes in bulk which reduces our household waste and that the product is that little bit better for the environment compared to other off the shelf options! I have also tried the sample dishwasher powder and was very impressed that will be going on my next purchase!

We live in the country and have used Euca laundry powder for several years. Our washing machine water goes directly into a drainage channel. Frogs are thriving in this channel which I think is a testament to the absence of harmful chemicals in the laundry powder. Great product from an Australian company .

Love the products that last and clean better than any I've used in years. I washed an old, rough towel in the Soft Wash (old cotton towel, was using it to polish my rough heels). Now dries my feet faster, but so soft, it doesn't polish my heels any more! Great on angora woollens that needed a spring bath - softer than ever! Also excellent on my mink blanket, doesn't mat the pile like previous wool washes I've used.

I found Euca after searching for a more natural laundry product that was affordable, economical and kind to my sensitive skin. I absolutely love it!My 10kg bucket came with a sample sachet which I passed on to my cousin as she was interested in an alternative to big brand products. It took some convincing as she HATES the smell of eucalyptus... however after trying it I'm happy to report that she is now a full convert and has bought her own 10kg bucket. Her comment was along the lines of "Finally a product that leaves my clothes smelling like clean water and nothing else!"I will continue to share my praise of Euca to anyone who will listen. I can't wait to try some of the new products they are coming up with. Keep up the good work!
