When Softness Matters

Doing a load of laundry a few days ago; I was machine washing some microfiber slacks and a Coolmax dress shirt. I always use Soap Flakes to wash these kinds of garments. I also had a new short-sleeved white 100% cotton shirt that also needed to be washed.

I had previously washed the 100% cotton shirt two times I think using regular detergent, but it was still rather stiff. The fabric did not feel relaxed or particularly soft.

I put the cotton shirt in along with the microfiber slacks and the Coolmax dress shirt and oh my gosh - after spin drying - the cotton shirt was very soft.

Now dry, the shirt feels better than it ever has. The way the fabric feels is wonderful, entirely different. No longer rough and stiff but soft and relaxed.

The tag line for Soap Flakes has always been "When Softness Matters".

I knew washing sweaters and delicate items with Soap Flakes cleaned them well and kept them soft but I had not considered using Soap Flakes on clothing that was a bit too stiff or uncomfortable.

I'm not sure it will work this well every time, but my gosh, I now have this great new comfortable shirt, rather than a rough scratchy thing, and it is all due to using Soap Flakes, warm water, and the gentle cycle on my top loading washing machine.

I'm slow I guess. When Softness Matters, use Soap Flakes! (MSO)
