I've never really used it, and TBH I'm not at all sure how it shortens the lifespan of the clothes. Was I mistaken in thinking it was just some kind of smelly lilac-scented laundry accessory that makes heavy cotton more cushy? I don't understand what it could do to damage the fabric.

At least some materials like those in some training clothes don't like softeners enough that the washing tag explicitly says that you shouldn't use it.

Interesting that, I've never owned many synthetics but will keep this in mind.
