FAQs
Is this fabric conditioner suitable for babies' clothes?
Yes, due to its hypoallergenic and naturally derived formula, it is generally suitable for sensitive skin and baby clothes. However, always perform a patch test if you have extreme concerns.
How many washes can I expect from a 1-litre bottle?
The 1-litre bottle provides approximately 33 washes when using the recommended dosage of 30ml per wash in an automatic machine.
Can I use this in a high-efficiency (HE) washing machine?
Yes, this fabric conditioner is suitable for use in all types of washing machines, including high-efficiency (HE) models.
What does 'readily biodegradable' mean?
It means that the product breaks down naturally and harmlessly in the environment relatively quickly after use, reducing its ecological impact.
Does the lavender scent linger after drying?
The fragrance is subtle and intended to provide a fresh, natural scent. It may linger lightly on clothes, but it is not strong or overpowering.
Where can I purchase Bio-D Fabric Conditioner?
This product is not typically available in mainstream supermarkets. You may find it at independent health food stores, eco-friendly retailers, or online specialist stores.
Does it help with wrinkles?
Yes, fabric conditioners generally help to soften fibres, which can make clothes less prone to wrinkling and easier to iron.
Troubleshooting
Product leaves residue on clothes
Ensure you are using the correct dosage (30ml per wash) and that the dispenser drawer is clean and not blocked. For hand washing, ensure thorough rinsing.
Weak fragrance after washing
The fragrance is designed to be subtle and natural. For a stronger scent, ensure correct dosage and that the garment care label allows for fabric conditioner use.
Dispenser drawer issues
Periodically clean the fabric conditioner dispenser drawer to prevent blockages from product build-up. Refer to your washing machine manual for cleaning instructions.
Product seems thicker than usual
In very cold conditions, the product may thicken slightly. This is normal. Allow it to return to room temperature; it will regain its normal consistency without affecting performance.
