The difference between fabric softener and laundry detergent is as follows:

1, the role is different. Softener is in the fabric washing care process with the use of detergents, mainly to make the fabric soft, fluffy, eliminate static electricity; can also help to restore the inherent smoothness of the fiber, extension, compression properties. Laundry detergent is a clothing detergent, the main role is to clean the stains on the clothing.

2, the characteristics of different ingredients. Most of the softeners have fragrance, aromatics, dyes are mostly petroleum derivatives, containing benzene substances. Laundry detergent is mostly non-ionic surfactants, is based on sodium alkyl sulfonate and sodium stearate, PH close to neutral, gentle on the skin, and discharged into nature, degradation faster.

Laundry detergent and fabric softener can't be used at the same time

Laundry detergent is to separate the dirt from the clothes, and the detergent itself has to be detached from the clothes after the washing is finished. The effect of fabric softener on the clothes is to be absorbed by the fiber, which is to be retained on the clothes to work.

The simultaneous use of laundry detergent and fabric softener will result in the weakening of the two, and it is not recommended that they be mixed together. In general, when you wash your clothes, use the laundry detergent first, and then use the fabric softener after you clean the dirt, you can't add them together in the water.
