There are few moments in life better than pulling freshly cleaned, warm and soft clothes from the dryer. One of the easiest ways to make sure your clothes are cozy and comfortable is by using Snuggle® liquid fabric softeners. Fabric softeners work to condition clothes during the rinse cycle to protect your clothes and keep the fabric feeling soft. Incorporating fabric softener into your laundry routine can help to keep your blankets cozier and pajamas softer.
With so many different types of washing machines, it can be confusing to know how to use fabric softeners and conditioners in your washer. Our laundry experts are here to answer all of your questions about using fabric softener in a top load washer.
With all the steps in your laundry regimen, using fabric softener or conditioner should be one that you try to never skip. Adding a laundry softener to your rinse cycle provides many benefits, here are just a few of them:
- Maintains Fabrics. Fabric conditioners like Snuggle® Blue Sparkle® Cuddle-Up Fresh™ fabric softener keep clothes feeling softer, while providing protection through the rinse cycle.
- Provides Fresh Fragrance. Most fabric-softening products promise a fresh scent, but Snuggle® Island Hibiscus™ Relaxing Paradise™ fabric softener brings the tropical vacation home.
- Makes Ironing Easier. Always use a liquid fabric conditioner, like Snuggle® SuperFresh® Morning Breeze™ or Snuggle® SuperFresh® Spring Burst™, which not only helps eliminate odors, but also combats wrinkles while always providing long-lasting freshness.
Use fabric softener whenever you want to have snuggly soft, comfortable and fresh clothes.
Knowing the perfect time to add fabric softener to your laundry can make all the difference. For best results, add Snuggle during the rinse cycle to ensure that your clothes are left feeling soft and smelling fresh. Snuggle fabric softener is the perfect way to keep your clothes feeling cozy and comfortable after every wash.
There are certain fabrics that may not benefit from fabric softening. It is best not to use fabric conditioners on moisture-wicking activewear, water-resistant items, or clothing made of synthetic fibers.
Also, steer clear of using Snuggle on fluffier fabrics like fleece or terry cloth, as it can increase their flammability. And for children’s sleepwear or garments labeled as flame-resistant, it’s best to skip fabric softener altogether since it may reduce their flame resistance.
No matter what type of washing machine you have, using Snuggle® liquid fabric softener is simple. Just follow these quick steps to keep your laundry soft, fresh, and cuddly.
Wondering where to put fabric softener in a top load washer? If your machine has a built-in dispenser (usually in the center of the agitator), here’s how to use it:
- Measure the right amount of Snuggle® fabric softener using the cap.
- Pour it into the fabric softener dispenser.
- Start your wash cycle as usual and the washer will automatically release the fabric softener during the rinse cycle.
Pro tip: Always select a cycle with a deep rinse to ensure even distribution.
Can you put fabric softener directly into the washer? Yes, but timing matters.
- Wash your clothes as usual.
- When the rinse cycle begins, pause the machine.
- Pour the measured amount directly into the water, not on your clothes, to avoid staining.
