Vernel Crystals are, in my opinion, no matter the variant, the best of what there is to spare softeners, laundry additives, etc.! The product consists of many small Duftsteinchen which are simply added along with the washing powder in the chamber. So can also easily an antibacterial softener (against strict, fixed odors wz B. Sportswear, cats, etc.) are added and be guaranteed over several weeks partly still a pleasant fresh scent. I really think it is therefore very, very, very unfortunate that the production has been currently set and will try still to relate. In any case, this product is more than recommended !!!
