OK I am dim, but what do you do with fabric conditioner?

[snowleopard]

Have bought some Fairy fabric conditioner - never used it before (inspired by nursery washing DS's pooed-on trousers and they came back all soft! not crispy like my washing!)

The instructions just say put a capful in the drawer. When? At the start of a normal wash? I put the tablets in the drawer - does it go in with them? Or in the other drawer?

Thanks

int eh small middle compartment att he begining
it relases it itself(!) at the end

hehe you are going to LOVE IT!

I discovered it several years ago

I have not looked back!

are you for real??

Ooohhh... it's more tech than I thought! Glad I asked. Thank you Cod.

Oh yes mooncup. I haven't a clue.

I never used to use it

I thought it was a con

I was grossly mistaken

I love fabric conditioner!! The softness! The smell!

In my drawer theres a hole for pre wash, a main one where the powder/tablets go then a smaller one for fabric conditioner (sometimes has a little flower symbol). Pour capful in there when you put tablets in and wait to be amazed!

My house is tidy, mind. I just don't understand these newfangled thingies.

(I'm 36, you know)

ooh the thought of clothes with no fabric conditioner [scratchy emoticon] makes ironing easier too!

Just don't use it on towels or tea towels it reduces their absorbancy!!! (Very techy to do with coating fibres etc so won't bore you anymore!!)

ooh no - I like a rough towel

You would wouldn't you!!!

OK so no soft towels - anything else I should know? This is a whole new world for me. Is Fairy even a good choice... am I missing out on some super fabby brand?

also dont use on nappies!

some random things (like my sailing cot which has a fleece inside) says DONT use with fab cond.

oh yes, I love a rough towel too, one that's been dried on the line is best.

wtf is a sailing cot?

snowleopard don't be sucked in!!! you'll be buying all plug-in airfresheners and disposable toilet brushes next!

disposable income is for whisky!!

< shudders at household products >

i HATE rough towels. like hard, cheap toilet paper. my arse deserves better treatment.

i'm thinking of keeping the fecking dryer just so i can have soft towels and sheets again.

I even buy the scented things you hang inside your loo roll but smells nice when you having a poo!! (and glade whisps and disposable toilet brushes and the air freshner things they have in public loos that scent the air every so often - DP is terribly embarrassed but I tell him we need this stuff!!!)

i love the smell of comfort pure - the one w/the baby pictured on it. i get the concentrated stuff.

love it!

twinkie1 i despair...

Oh nooo Cappucino, I don't do air fresheners - don't like them, the smell just makes me think I can smell poo and farts even if I can't.

It was the softness of DS's trousers that got me rather than the smell, though I await lovely-smelling washing with anticipation (though IMO they get a nice smell from drying in the garden).

In fact I now feel like a bad mother for making DS wear such crispy trousers all this time

bad mother... crispy trousers...

no. no it's not working for me.

'bad mother... beat with a stick' yes
'bad mother... forget to feed' also

They might have been uncomfortable and scratchy...! the poor lamb.
