I had read about these and thought I’d give them a go and I wasn’t disappointed, actually my washing feels cleaner than using detergent and conditioner, smells fresh and clean without being synthetic, I’ve washed bedding, towels and usual daily clothing, I’ve used hot washes and cold washes and they all come out fresh and clean, and you definitely don’t need fabric conditioner, it’s difficult to explain but fabrics feel and smell fresher and cleaner, I’ve subscribed and won’t be looking back!
