Fabric softener is a laundry product designed to make clothes feel softer and reduce static cling. It works by coating the fibers of fabrics, which helps to smooth out rough surfaces and improve the overall texture. This results in a more comfortable feel against the skin and can also make ironing easier. In addition to softness, fabric softeners often add a pleasant fragrance to laundry. They can be found in liquid or dryer sheet forms and are typically used during the rinse cycle or in the dryer. Many people use fabric softeners to enhance the freshness of their laundry, making it smell clean and inviting.
