Del Fabric Conditioner

I know this is an odd review but I seldom see reviews about fabric conditioners, so I decided to share my own experience with fabric conditioners.

 If you've had your clothes stored up for so long, believe it or not, they will start to have that odd musky scent you'll smell at thrift stores. A lot of people hate that scent, and I'm one of those people. It just feels unclean.

You can remedy that by simply airing out your clothes every 2 weeks, but seriously. Aint nobody got time for that!

Looks pretty, smells ugly

Since I sell some of my clothes, I have to get rid of those smell. A good detergent will wash it away of course, but there will be times that the odd scent remains, and just washing with plain detergent is bad for long term storage. Not only that but I need to make sure the fresh laundered scent remains. Laundering them over and over will be bad for the fabric.

I have experimented with different brands, different series, until finally, I found the one scent I want my clients to remember me by.

My "control" (the brand I will compare it to for standards) will be Downy of course, since Downy was the pioneer brand in the Philippines





I happen to like Del. Lavender Breeze to be specific,

with fabric conditioning, I say it does an average job. I would still choose downy over Del for that softness factor, but in my line I am more concerned with the scent. Everyone knows the scent of Downy as well.

Scent: I've tried almost all of their series, the regular, the perfume, the burst of scent or whatever. But the best scent so far is only the Lavender Breeze.

All the rest are bullshit.

The plain blue one disappeared on me the moment I aired it out. The red one on the photo is sickeningly flowery, but the scent doesn't remain once you have hanged your clothes for the sun. I suppose this red one at the photo above depends on the user.

the perfume edition, although, seemingly fine, the scent didn't last either. the softening power and anti wrinkling power is just so so. Ironing clothes is no different with ironing a non conditioned article.

However, I will praise their Lavender Breeze. The scent really sticks to the clothes, even though you've traveled the  clothes or they've got stuck in storage for many months, the scent just remains. The conditioning power is average, however, but it isn't much of a deal for me. I have no idea why but the scent's ability is far better compared with all the rest.

If I were to rate Del, I'd give it a 5 out of 10. Average. You can make do with it if you ran out of fab cons and it is the only thing available.

But if I'm to rate just the Lavender Breeze, then I'd give it 9 out of 10

Lol, sorry followers if you dislike household chores, but living in the countryside and selling clothes has made me into a laundry maniac. I'll review my BB Creams next time.

Update about my store

After a year of taking some time off from blogging, I finally decided to update my blog

My store has started to pick up and I believe at the rate of my shipping, my business is getting stronger and stronger. People have been blogging and sending me some of their photos using the clothes they have bought from me. it's really touching. I'm also happy some of my friends and family donated their clothes for me to sell. it's really nice

Initially, my shop was supposed to be a specialty shop selling mori/forest girl clothes. but I guess I can't help but add some of the unwanted clothes that can be sold at a higher price if I sell it online instead of selling it in the yard. Good thing Forest girl style has a lot of subcultures.

Also, I've been selling a lot of our Liz Lisa items in my store, mainly because their cuts are too juvenile for my age. On the bright side, they feature a lot of florals and lace which is a staple in a Mori Girl's wardrobe.




I've also had some photographers take photo shoots of my items for me. It's real nice since having a formal catalog seems more professional.



Of course, I have no intention doing this as a living, but it isn't bad having some extra cash on me. Thanks to my business, I've bought myself a phone, reference books and even got the capital to invest in the stock market.

On the 17th my clothes will be having another photoshoot! So many blessings

I'm hoping to have another year of good business.
