Comfort After Wash Fabric Conditioner, 99.9% anti-bacterial action

Comfort After Wash Fabric Conditioner with 99.9% anti-bacterial action is a laundry product designed to be used during the final rinse cycle of a wash. It's manufactured by Hindustan Unilever Limited.

Here are some key features and how it works:

Key Features:

• Anti-bacterial action: The product claims to remove up to 99% of bacteria from clothes. This is based on lab tests on specific bacteria like K. pneumonia and P. aeruginosa.

• Softness and Shine: Comfort is a fabric conditioner that coats the fibers of clothes, untangling them and making the fabric feel softer and look shinier. This helps prevent the dull, rough feel that can result from repeated washing with detergent alone.

• Long-lasting fragrance: It contains "fragrance pearls" to provide a fresh, lasting scent to clothes.

• Protection for clothes: It helps protect clothes from damage caused by repeated washing, and can also help retain their shape and color, reduce static cling, and make them easier to iron.

• Suitable for all fabrics: It can be used on all types of fabrics, including delicates.

• Easy to use: It is designed for both hand washing and machine washing (semi-automatic and fully-automatic).

How to Use:

The product is added during the final rinse cycle, not at the beginning of the wash with the detergent.

• Hand Wash: After washing clothes with detergent, add a capful (or sachet) of Comfort to a bucket of clean water. Soak the clothes for about 5 minutes, then remove and dry them. Do not rinse the clothes again with plain water.

• Machine Wash:

  • Fully-automatic: Pour a capful of Comfort into the designated fabric conditioner/softener compartment at the beginning of the wash cycle.

  • Semi-automatic: Add a capful of Comfort directly into the machine tub during the last rinse cycle.

Ingredients:

While the exact formulation for the anti-bacterial variant isn't fully detailed in public sources, fabric conditioners generally contain:

• Cationic surfactants: These are the primary softening agents. They have a positive charge that allows them to attach to the negatively charged fibers of the clothes, making them smooth.

• Perfume: For fragrance.

• Preservatives and other agents: Ingredients like Benzisothiazolinone (BIT), Hexyl Cinnamal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Limonene, and Citronellol are often listed. Some of these are fragrances, while others are preservatives.
