Advantages: smells great, softens and freshens clothes. Fresh release technology
Disadvantages: none
I love fabric softeners and I always add some to each and every wash I do; simply because I like the added softness on my clothes and the fact that the fabric softeners fragrance the clothes too. I usually do two or three separate washes per day, which is understandable considering there are three kids and two adults in our house hold, not to mention 2 dogs and 2 cats who are just as messy as the kids. On average I could easily polish off 2 full bottles of fabric softener in 10 days or so, I like to use different fragranced fabric softeners regularly; usually I purchase 2 bottles of fabric softener per week to cope with the massive amounts of washing I tend to do daily. When I go to Tesco's I just pick out two different fragranced fabric softeners, I don't usually bother which brand I choose because I think that most of them are the same apart from the fragrance. Sometimes ill just choose a bottle simply because I like the colour of the fabric softener inside it; a bit weird I know but hey each to their own. I suppose you can say that I'm as addicted to fabric softeners as I am to perfumes. I first bought Comfort Tropical Burst a month or so ago from Tesco's, the reason I immediately purchased it was because it was on a special introductory offer and only cost £0.95 for a massive 1.5litre bottle, which would last me well over a week considering it is much bigger than the usual 750ml bottles I tend to purchase.
As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the bottle of Fabric Softener is supplied in a tall see through plastic bottle, which has a curvy shape to it. On the top of the bottle there is a bright orange screw on/off lid which also acts as a measuring guide so as you know how much of the liquid to add to each wash. On the front of the bottle there is a tear drop shaped label which indeed tells us the name of the product and the fragrance. Just like most of the other fabric softeners on the market there is also a label on the back of the bottle which tells us the list of ingredients and how to use the product etc.
The fabric softener inside the bottle is a gorgeous creamy orange colour which also looks really vibrant and summery. I think that this particular fabric softener is a lot more eye catching that the others they sell in supermarkets because of the bright coloured liquid and the label on the bottle. I really like the fact that the fabric softener is clearly visible through the bottle because you can easily see how much of the liquid you are using and how much is remaining inside the bottle.
Now using the product is really easy, all you have to do is take the cap off the bottle and fill it with the fabric softener and then pour it into the correct compartment on your washing machine. I pour mines into the middle compartment in the washing machine drawer, other washing machines might be different and you might need to pour it into a different compartment in your drawer. As I stated above it is recommended that you use one capful of the fabric softener per wash; but I never measure it out, I just open the bottle and pout some of the liquid into the compartment in my washing machine, it's a far more quicker method than measuring it out especially if your always rushing about like me.
As soon as the washing is finished and you open the door on the washing machine you can smell the fresh tropical smell from the fabric softener. It isn't an overpowering aroma, more of a subtle fresh clean fruity aroma. When the washing is wet and just out of the machine the aroma is faint but when your washing is dry the tropical aroma is a lot stronger and vibrant. I think that the clothes smell better if you dry them outside on the washing line because the fresh air always makes washing smell better.
I love the smell from the fabric softener because it is fresh, fruity and sweet. I think that the fabric softener mainly smells of juicy mangoes which is accompanied with the fresh scent of peaches and cream; although you an smell an ever so slight coconut hint through the peach and mango which gives the aroma a sweet edge and more depth. The smell of the fabric softener lingers on your clothes for a while after you have washed them, I would say that the scent from the fabric softener lingers on the clothes and bedding for well over a week after you have initially washed them which is really good considering most other fabric softeners only leave your clothes scented for a short while before the fragrance fades away.
The reason the aroma from the fabric softener lingers on your washing for such a long time is because the product contains Fresh Release Technology; which means that the fabric softener releases tiny fragrance beads into your clothes during washing. The Fresh Release Technology can only be found in the Comfort Concentrates range of products.
I really like Comfort Tropical Burst because it smells fantastic and it leaves my clothes feeling soft. None of the kids or my husband or I have suffered any kind of reaction from using this product so it is kind to our skin as well. I think that the product is great value for money and one which I will continue to purchase and use regularly. You can purchase the Comfort Tropical Burst from most supermarkets although the price may vary depending on where you purchase it from. I purchase mines from Tesco's although my mum has bought a bottle and she got hers from ASDA.
There are two different sized bottles available to purchase; which are ~
750ml which costs approximately £1.20 and should last for approximately 20 washes.
1.5 litre bottle which costs approximately £2.40 and should last for approximately 40 washes.
As well as the Tropical Burst fragrance you can also purchase Tempting nature which is a green coloured liquid as opposed to the orange. If you would like to sample the Tropical Burst or Tempting Nature fabric softener before deciding to purchase it then you can request a free sample from the website.
