I used some Lux Flakes in my old top loader yesterday when I washed my dressing gown (I had molasses all over it) and some towels.

Its dry now and i have to say it is the softest its been since it was given to me 3 years ago. I am so surprised actually. The only thing I have found it that the smell is a bit blah its kind of fatty.

Just wondering if a way around this would be to just dissolved a very small amount of flakes in some hot water then add normal detergent or fabric softener so it smells a bit better but still gets nice and soft? or maybe some drops of an essential oil?

I am just experimenting on different things before bubby comes so I can make bubs clothes/towels/bedding nice and soft and snuggly

Also I am wondering if there is a residual coating of soap in the fabric which is making it so soft? I didn't use very much but I am not terribly family with the product either. I think it was about a dessert spoon dissolved.

Thanks
