Ingredients from the label

cationic fabric softening agents, perfume 


Directions from Packaging

Place one new sheet on top of wet clothes in dryer. Remove and discard used sheet when clothes are dry. For best results, use a low or permanent press heat setting for synthetic/permanent press fabrics, as spotting may result with high heat settings. If spotting occurs, rub spot with a bar of soap and rewash item in warm water. If two loads are dried at once in an extra-capacity dryer, add two fabric softener sheets. 


Warnings

CAUTION: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Not for use on children's sleepwear or other garments labeled as flame resistant, as it may reduce flame resistance.

This product is not certified as a green cleaner.

Unknown:

Leading international certifiers PETA and Leaping Bunny have no information concerning this company’s use of animal testing.



Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.

Score legend
WEIGHT-OF-EVIDENCE APPROACH

A product’s hazard score is not an average of the ingredients’ hazard scores. It is calculated using a weight-of-evidence approach that factors in all of the hazards or health impacts associated with the ingredients.
