Lenor is a fabric softener that makes it soft and non-electrifying. For several years, Lenor has been deservedly considered one of the best air conditioners in our market. It is used in combination with washing powders - conventional or concentrated.
What is known about Lenor?
Laundry washed without a softener, becomes tough, uncomfortable for the body, difficult to smooth. The brand in question is not cheap, but despite this, consumers actively use it when washing - they are willing to pay for the received “bonuses”.
Thanks to the use of Lenor, the following effects are achieved:
- The linen becomes soft to the touch.
- Products acquire dirt-repellent abilities.
- Linen is easier to iron when using the iron.
- Even after repeated washes, colored things do not lose their brightness.
- Washed things are not electrified - they acquire antistatic properties, and they smell good.
The risk of negative consequences should be considered:
- Stains may appear on some delicate fabrics.
- Rinsing outer clothing may result in loss of water-repellent properties.
Who is the manufacturer?
Under the Lenor brand, Procter & Gamble (USA) produces conditioners for washing clothes. The products themselves are made 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 company's products 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 the washing machine for one cycle, add one measuring cap.
- The product, measured by the cap, is poured into the dispenser - in the automatic washing machines (CMA) there is a special compartment for rinsing agents.
- Rinse aid is poured into the water at the very end of the cycle - before the final rinse. When the rinsing process goes on, the machine will add water to the dispenser and wash the Lenor into the water.
It is not always possible to add air conditioners without looking to the SMA - you must take into account the type of fabric being washed. So, stains may remain on silk, if a specific product does not provide for rinsing silk fabrics. Therefore, you should carefully read the information on the packaging - for which particular products this tool is intended.
What does the manufacturer offer?
Rinsing agent is available in ergonomic, spectacularly designed plastic bottles. The container capacity is 0.5, 1 and 5 liters. Each buyer can choose an option that is optimal for volume and cost.
When evaluating the properties of household chemicals, especially detergents, the “indications” of consumers differ most in the “fragrant” issue. One and 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 palette of aromas - so that each consumer can choose an option to his taste.
In the assortment of Lenore there are several variations that differ in smell and specialization, on which the specific composition depends.
"Scandinavian spring" - with a floral scent
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.
A loop of floral notes from Lenore has long been preserved on washed products. This concentrated rinse is distinguished from the rest of the Lenor range by its particularly economical consumption.
Users are unanimous - this product makes the laundry wonderful, it becomes fresh, soft, pleasantly smelling. The rinse aid is perfectly rinsed and gives brightness to things. 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 approximately 200 rubles. There is also a variation with almond oil, 1 liter - 160 rubles.
It has a pleasant aroma, relatively affordable price and economy. Gives things a special softness and smell that does not disappear for a long time. It is strange that a child’s hypoallergenic product smells and at the same time preserving the smell of things seems like a plus. Many consumers, especially parents of young children, prefer the complete lack of smell of detergents.
"Alpine meadows" - with the smell of meadow herbs
Universal air conditioner with antistatic effect. The capacity of 0.5 liters costs about 100-120 rubles.
Buyers are attracted by the affordable cost and softness of the washed laundry, but the smell caused mixed emotions. The aroma of “Alpine meadows” is commented on in a wide range of emotions - from “disgusting”, “smelling sour” (quote) to “aromatic explosion”. Those who like the fragrance write that you can’t even use perfume after washing.
