Lovely jumpers - Comfort or not?

Its handwashing lovely jumpers time again (I don't wear jumpers in summer at all) and I hate the whole business of handwashing and then laying it flat on a towel on the spare bed for days but the thing I hate most is the smell of Fabric Conditioner. It seems to go all over the house. Do you always use this on lovely jumpers or just the gentle liquid detergent and rinse well? I'd be glad to know your whole lovely jumper washing procedure but not the washing machine ones. I don't want to put them in there.

As I don't wear wool very much because I get too hot, I have cotton tops they just g o in the machine on a quick wash. I use baby comfort pure which is very concentrated and you only need a small amount, there is no smell.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I do put older woollies in the machine and it does have all the fancy washes but I feel confident in ditching the Comfort - horrible smell.
