Lenor is a fabric softener that makes it soft and not electrifying. For several years, Lenore has been deservedly considered one of the best air conditioners on our market. It is used in combination with washing powders – regular or concentrated.
What is known about Lenor?
Linen washed without emollient becomes hard, uncomfortable for the body, difficult to iron. The brand in question is not cheap, but despite this, consumers actively use it when washing – they are ready to pay for the “bonuses” received.
Thanks to the use of Lenor, the following effects are achieved:
- Linen becomes soft to the touch.
- Products acquire dirt-repellent properties.
- Linen is easier to iron when using an iron.
- Even after multiple washes, colored items do not lose their brightness.
- Washed things do not become electrified – they acquire antistatic properties and smell pleasant.
The risk of negative consequences should be taken into account:
- Some delicate fabrics may show streaks.
- Rinsing outer clothing may cause it to lose its water-repellent properties.
Who is the manufacturer?
Under the Lenor brand, Procter & Gamble (USA) produces fabric softeners. The products themselves are manufactured in Russia at a plant in Novomoskovsk (Tula region). P&G is a multinational company, one of the leaders in the global consumer goods market. You can get acquainted with all the products of the company on its official website.
How is Lenore used?
All brand products are universal – they are used for hand and automatic washing. Application rules:
- To achieve maximum effect, it is important to observe the dosage of the product. When washing in a washing machine, add one measuring cap per cycle.
- The product, measured with a cap, is poured into the dispenser – in automatic washing machines (CMA) there is a special compartment for rinse aid.
- Rinse aid is poured into the water at the very end of the cycle – before the final rinse. When the rinsing process is in progress, the machine will add water to the dispenser and wash the Lenore into the water.
It is not always possible to add air conditioners to SMA without looking – you must take into account the type of fabrics being washed. So, streaks may remain on silk items if a particular product does not provide rinsing of silk fabrics. Therefore, you should carefully read the information on the packaging – for which products this tool is intended.
What does the manufacturer offer?
The rinse aid is available in ergonomic, attractively designed plastic bottles. Container capacity – 0,5, 1 and 5 liters. Each buyer can choose the option that is optimal in terms of volume and cost.
When evaluating the properties of household chemicals, especially detergents, the “testimony” of consumers differs most of all in the “fragrant” issue. The same smell can cause extremely opposite olfactory feelings and emotions in different people. Therefore, the manufacturer tried to present its products in a wide range of flavors – so that each consumer can choose the option to their liking.
In the assortment of “Lenore” there are several variations that differ in smell and specialization, on which the specifics of the composition depend.
Liquid universal concentrate. They can wash any fabric, including wool and silk. Suitable for colored, dark and black things. A 1 liter bottle costs about 170 rubles.
The plume of floral notes from Lenore remains on washed items for a long time. This concentrated rinse differs from the rest of the Lenor line in its particularly economical consumption.
Users are unanimous – this product makes laundry wonderful, it becomes fresh, soft, pleasantly smelling. The rinsing composition is perfectly rinsed out and gives things brightness. One bottle is enough for 3 months of regular use.
“Children’s” – for children’s underwear
Hypoallergenic liquid for rinsing children’s things from all types of fabrics, including silk and wool. Suitable for white and dark products. Does not irritate sensitive skin. The cost of 2 liters is about 200 rubles. There is also a variation with almond oil, 1 liter – 160 rubles.
It has a pleasant aroma, relatively affordable price and economy. It gives things a special softness and a smell that does not disappear for a long time. It is strange that a child’s hypoallergenic product smells and at the same time the preservation of smell by things is presented as a plus. Many consumers, especially parents of young children, prefer the complete absence of odor from detergents.
“Alpine Meadows” – with the smell of meadow herbs
Universal conditioner with antistatic effect. A 0,5 liter container costs about 100-120 rubles.
Buyers are attracted by the affordable cost and softness of the washed linen, but the smell caused mixed emotions.
