Lenor Unstoppables

Anyone used these.... Just put some in the machine and washed towels at 60. Machine finished and it's full of bubbles and the towels are all soapy? Machine has never done this before... Would it be the Unstoppables? Thought they were just for smell?

Yes they are just for smell, think your machine has not gone into rinse mode properly ?

Machine has never done it before... Seemed weird it did for first time after putting the Unstoppables in there? I rinsed again and it it was still really soapy, so put on fast spin. Towels came out feeling all squeaky and weird.... Have hung to dry, will see what they dry like. I will use the Unstoppables one more time with clothes and see how it goes.

I don't normally use fabric conditioner with towels, it affects absorbency.

I used them and didn't rate them, they left the drum in my machine with a waxy layer and made my towels feel slimy.
OP depending on the colour your towels are try a 90*c wash to get the residue out?

I was confused as to if it is a fabric conditioner? It says on the bottle ideal for sportswear and towels. I'll be home soon and see how the towels have dried - might need a wash again!

I use them ( the green ones) and Ive had no problems at all - my towels are lovely .

I have used them and really like them. They just give a smell, I have never noticed anything different apart from the smell. I don't use fabric softner with my towels but I have used these.

No idea what the soapiness could be? I only use a small amount, maybe about 3 pellets deep in the bottom of the lid/measure thing. How much did you use? I am in a soft water area.
