Has anyone used these, if yes, are they worth the money. My machine doesn't deliver fabric conditioner any longerno matter how many times I clean the dispenser so I thought these might be a perfect substitute as they are just put in the drum of the machine.

Not a fan of fabric conditioners of any kind,sorry!

Haven't used fabric conditioner for decades. Clothes just smell of the washing powder instead... Or, if dried outside they have that wonderful 'outside dried' smell which is better than any artificial fragrance.

I do confess to tumble drying towels because line drying doesn't leave them soft (unless they're dried in a howling gale grin )

As I said upthread, I use Comfort pure in my wash as we live in an extremely hard water area. I don’t use it in towels. I use it with clothing to soften them, but it does not perfume them. It has no smell, it is unperfumed. I don’t buy perfumed conditioners.

I dry as much of my laundry outside as I can. Not only does it smell so lovely and fresh when it comes in, it doesn’t waste electricity and the sun is a natural antibacterial.

I have never used fabric conditioner. Is it for washing that's not dried outside?

Fabric conditioner is hugely expensive ( it’s 90% water) plus all those huge plastic bottles are terrible for the environment - they either end up in the ground or the waterways. The manufacturers make a huge profit on this muck so no wonder they are trying to find new ways to sell it.

I have never used fabric conditioner, don't want my clothes to smell of anything. Haven't used soap powder for 10 - 11 years either. I use soap nuts. Environmentally friendly and much cheaper.
