Product Information

Full details

This Ecover Fabric Softener is designed for eco-conscious consumers seeking a plant-based, biodegradable solution for softening clothes. Its key benefit is providing a gentle, dermatologically tested formula that's safe for sensitive skin and septic tanks, while also utilizing sustainable packaging and manufacturing processes. A potential caveat is its unsuitability for silk and flame-retardant textiles, and the 15L refill packaging does not include a tap. The product features plant-based ingredients, a palm oil-free active derived from rapeseed oil, and is manufactured in a Zero Waste certified factory.

Troubleshooting

Fabric remains stiff after washing

Ensure you have used the correct dosage for the load size. Try using the 'extra-soft' dosage (60ml for a standard load) for a more noticeable softening effect. Check that the fabric softener compartment is clean and not blocked.

Skin irritation after use

Although dermatologically tested, individual sensitivities can vary. Try reducing the dosage or rinse the garment thoroughly. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult the product's ingredient list.

Product separated or thickened

This can sometimes occur if stored outside the recommended temperature range. Gently shake the container before use. Ensure it is stored between 5°C and 25°C.

Softener not dispensing correctly

Check your washing machine's fabric softener compartment for any blockages. Ensure the correct compartment was used and that the machine's water flow is adequate during the rinse cycle.
