Advantages: Smells lovey and fresh, long-lasting scent, softens towels and bedding

Disadvantages: Haven't noticed clothes being much softer

Asda fabric softener moonflower and ylang is a home brand fabric softener that is much cheaper than other branded fabric softeners but is no way less quality. I use Ariel for my washing which doesn't really leave the clothes with a fresh and nicely scented smell when they come out of the wash, so I went in search of a fabric softener and freshener not wanting to spend too much on it. I came across a whole load of these Asda softeners in the cleaning aisle and just didn't know which one to pick. There is a whole range of the Asda home brand ones of all different colours and fragrances including line fresh, ylang and jasmine, cherry blossom and lily, honeysuckle and jasmine, lime fresh, and the one I opted for, moonflower and ylang. I went for this one as I didn't want to go too girly with the pink cherry blossom as I'm sure my husband doesn't want to smell too much like a girl so I picked this one as it has a nice mauve colour and the mixture of smells sounded lovely (although I'm not actually sure what moonflower or ylang is!).

I'm glad I picked this one as the smell is lovely as soon as I open the bottle and when I get my clothes out of the wash. The scent hits you as soon as you open the washing machine door and it's a gorgeous fresh smell of flowers. When the clothes are drying on the radiators or are hanging up in the wardrobe I can still smell the scent hours later and it gives my home a nice smell too! The smell lasts on the clothes for a long while and I end up going around during the day sniffing my top or jumper because I can still smell it on me! I love getting into a newly washed bed since using this and it's like the adverts where you take a big sniff of the clean sheets and it really is freshening and makes your bed all that much snugger. I must admit that I haven't particularly noticed the clothes being any softener, the towels and the bed lining are but I haven't noticed it on clothes, but all I really wanted it for was the smell and this works perfectly.

A small bottle (750ml) last for 21 standard washes and the bigger bottle (1.5l) lasts for 42 standard washes. The smaller bottle is 98p and the larger £1.84. At the moment, there is an offer on both bottles with 2 small bottles for £1.50 or 2 big bottles for £3.50. I love the smell of this and, even though I'd love to try the other scents, I don't want to stop using my current one as it really is a lovely and fairly strong and long-lasting scent.

For normal loads, use one lid full of the concentrated liquid (35ml); for large loads or for extra softness and freshness use one and a half lid fulls (55ml); and for handwashing use about half a lid (18ml).

If you don't want to spend out on a pricey fabric softener then definitely give this one a try as it works brilliantly for me.

Summary: A great and cheap product
