A washing machine engineer told me once that we should make sure every single programme is used occasionally, we should not just use the same couple all the time.
Only thing is, I can't remember why.
Any ex-machine repairers here?
However, back to the OP. I use fabric conditioner on some washes, especially woollens to make them nice and soft.
They feel like like Nom's string vest if I don't.
I usually use a Eco-friendly sort.

I don't like the smelly ones, they make me sneeze too and catch my chest, so always buy 'sensitive' or whatever it's called. But that eco one (if it was the same as yours) was dreadful

The one I had almost smelled musty. Vile.

Do what I do, Pesta, and take the lids off and have a sniff before you buy.

Re: Fabric Conditioner
I can remember hearing that using fabric conditioner on towels makes them less able to dry you off. Tumble drying does keep towels soft, but in the summer months I hang everything outside for wind/sun power to dry them. Stopped using conditioner a few years back and although I am in hard water, Thames area, do not really miss it at all. Indeed, recently I have not even been using any washing powder, etc. Have a special ecoball in the washing machine which does this job for me.Rarely use anything other than one programme on my elderly machine. Also put everything in together, all colours. After all, nothing gets really dirty these days, and do not see the need of separating things out.
