Why We Don’t Use Fabric Softener – And You Shouldn’t Either

Fabric softeners have long been marketed as a laundry essential. But are they really helping—or harming—your clothes, washing machine, and the planet?

According to The Spruce, fabric softeners can leave behind residues that reduce your fabric's absorbency, especially towels, and can even clog your washing machine over time. Many softeners also contain artificial fragrances and chemicals that may irritate sensitive skin.

That’s why at Koyo Living, we’ve made a conscious decision to skip fabric softener—and still deliver soft, fresh, clean laundry. Our 4-in-1 Gentle Laundry Capsules are infused with a natural plant-based softening agent that keeps clothes soft without coating them in chemicals.

Why Choose Koyo Living Capsules Instead?

  • No artificial softeners or synthetic coatings

  • Perfect for delicate fabrics and children’s clothing

  • Gentle scent with no overpowering perfume

  • Low-residue formula that protects your washing machine

Soft doesn't have to mean synthetic.
Switch to a cleaner, safer way of doing laundry—naturally.
