Turns out its not.
Although it has some benefits, you dont really need them.
There are a ton of reasons why you shouldnt use fabric softener on your clothes.
Others have stopped using them ever since they learned the effects of this product.
I always used fabric softeners before, as they keep my clothes smelling fresh.
But one day, my skin got irritated and rashes showed on my back.
I didnt know what was the cause at that time, so I still kept using it.
Weeks later, rashes showed on my neck and shoulders.
It was the worst.
I realized that I used a different brand and it caused an allergic reaction.
From that moment, I stopped using fabric softeners.
It is just one of the reasons why it is not advisable to use this laundry product.
1 It causes allergies
Fabric softener is bad for people who have skin allergies.
It can cause skin irritation and difficulty in breathing.
You will ruin them as they clog the pores and ruin their moisture-wicking abilities.
It also makes your cotton clothes less absorbent and increases flammability.
It can build up in your washing machine and can cause mildew to grow.
It will soften and whiten your clothes without harsh chemicals.
It also has antibacterial properties, which help in reducing odors.
If you are worried that it will smell like vinegar, no, they wont smell.
