What are the advantages of using dryer sheets instead of liquid fabric softener?

There are several advantages of using dryer sheets instead of liquid fabric softener. The key advantage is that dryer sheets do not use nearly as many chemicals as liquid fabric softeners as those chemicals have been known to cause diseases.


How do you know when to put in softener when your washing your clothes?

It will tell you on the back of the bottle, usually it is in the final rinse cycle. It is kinda tricky using fabric softener, if you pour it directly on your clothes or even don't mix it with the water good enough first it will leave greasy looking spots on your clothes. I stop my washer right before the final rinse, take my clothes out, let the fabric softener and water mix really good then add my clothes back in.


Why was fabric softener invented?

Fabric softeners were invented when the detergent industry moved away from using "soap" and started using synthetic detergents, AKA surfactants, as the cleaning, foaming and emulsifying ingredients in laundry detergents. True soap forms familar soap-scum in hard water. A little of this was always left on clothes washed with soap and gave clothes just a touch of softness and flexibility (lubricity) but also could build-up over time causing dinginess. Surfactants generally rinse out of clothes very well and do not leave much of a residue. They left the clothes so clean that they felt harsh and stiff. Thus the need for fabric softeners. Fabric softeners also bring in another benefit - static reduction - which became very important as synthetic fibers and clothes driers began to be used more widely.


Is water softener the same as salt?

There are many reasons for a water softener not to us salt. For example: - The water softener is bypassed (so no water going through it) or switched off. - The water softener is not metering water consumption properly. - The valve is jammed or broken. - There is an air leak in the brine draw mechanism. Which one is most likely will depend on which make and model of water softener you have. If you have an engineering mindset and have a good fault-finding guide, you can try working through these. Otherwise it is time to call in a good water softener engineer. Julian Hobday of KindWater

What is the anti-static treatment of woven fabric?

Common woven fabric is a poor conductor of electricity, while producing and using, due to friction and contact generated electricity on fabric surface, thus that will lead to electrostatic phenomenon, that will cause inconvenient of production and effecting appearance and comfort of garment. At present, common method in production is adding carbon fiber or conductive fiber, or anti-static finishing agent. The former color is monotonous, it is suitable for fabric of anti-static workwear, the latter is suitable for electrostatic on different kind of wool fabric. Basic theory and method of fabric anti-static including: reducing electrostatic occurring; expediting leak of electrostatic; causing conditions that make electrostatic neutralized. Anti-static finishing agent is commonly treat as a continuous film which is conductive, it will provide hygroscopicity and ionicity to fabric surface so it can lead to anti-static function. There are 2 kinds of Anti-static finishing agent which is temporary and perdurable, perdurable agent can keep good anti-static property after 20 times of washing. By YULONG tex
