What is the CHOICE Expert Rating

CHOICE Expert rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Recommended View more details.

We recommend fabric softeners with a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 70%. While we advise against using fabric softeners at all, if you must use one these are the ones worth getting.

Yes
CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

This overall score is made up of softness (60%) and water absorption (40%).

70%
Softness score View more details.

Based on International Standard ASTM D5070, 90 cloth nappies (100% cotton) are conditioned with 5 cycles of a regular wash with just laundry powder. Then we run the top loader machine on a rinse and spin cycle with the fabric softener product, nappies and ballast (sheets and pillow cases). The nappies are then dried and the softness is evaluated with a panel of 10 people.

78%
Absorption score View more details.

Fabric softeners tend to reduce the water absorbency of towels as a side effect of the softness, so we also measure water absorbency.
