General information

Fabric softener "Vernel" is manufactured by the Henkel concern (Germany). The industrial plants of this company are located all over the world, in particular in our country.

The product is produced in plastic bottles; the container can have a volume of 0.75-1.5 liters. All bottles have a double cap with a dosimeter, which prevents liquid from getting on the outer walls of the container.

Containers with washing liquid have a brightly designed sticker. The bottle contains all the information required by the buyer - from the composition of the rinse to the method of use.

The Vernel conditioner is distinguished by the fact that the composition has unique aromatic additives that retain the smell for a long time. During washing, additives penetrate deep into the fabric structure and dissolve in the fibers.

Vernel washing liquid is an organically derived substance that does not contain additives that are toxic to people and the environment.

Composition and properties of the conditioner

The benefits of using a rinse aid extend to things and the condition of the washing machine itself: the product contains reagents that reduce water hardness - excess soluble salts (manifested by the formation of scale).
Washing takes place in a softened environment, the washing components work in favorable conditions, which ensures high quality clean laundry. After drying, things become soft, smell pleasant, are easy to iron, and retain an attractive appearance. All these qualities are provided by the components of the Vernel air conditioner, which was developed by Henkel engineers:

glycerin - a viscous alcohol liquid, an antiseptic, enhances the cleaning power of soap;
cationic surfactants - cleaning pastes that promote wetting and dissolving dirt - up to 15% of the total composition of the conditioner;
flavors or fragrances - volatile compounds that give a pleasant smell to washed items, they contain 5–6%;

defoamer or antifoam agent - alcohols, silicones, polyethylene glycol ethers act as it;
preservatives – substances that inhibit the growth of microorganisms;
dyes and water.

The role of antistatic agent in the air conditioner is performed by surfactants and silicone. Softening when using a rinse aid occurs due to the effect of the composition on the structure of calcium salts contained in water. They lose their ability to deposit on fabric fibers and the walls of washing machine channels. All substances included in the Vernel conditioner are safe for humans and the environment.

Do you wash by hand?

Oh yes! No

Types of Vernel products

Vernel conditioners for rinsing are on store shelves in a huge assortment. The developers have created truly unique light and fresh scents. You can choose a product with an aromatherapy effect, with the scent of meadow flowers, lavender, the addition of essential oils, or a gentle conditioner that is designed for children's clothes.

Over time, Henkel developers supplement their products with other scents. On supermarket windows you can already find a new line of mouthwashes with the scent of vanilla or orchid, as well as a subtle aroma of citrus fruits, more reminiscent of expensive perfumes. For connoisseurs of delicate scents, we can recommend the Vernelle French aroma conditioner.

Types of gels for rinsing things

The Vernel line of conditioners is expanding due to the creation of more and more new scents. The color and shape of the bottle and composition change, but the effectiveness, safety of rinses and their pleasant smell remain unchanged. Here are just some types of air conditioners from the Vernel family:

Children's. Things become soft, the gel is used sparingly, and can be used for children and adult family members. Also suitable for sensitive skin.

Supreme Romance. Universal conditioner with antistatic composition. Washes any items.
Tropical rain. The unusual and pleasant smell of pineapples combines with the freshness of the rain.

Taking into account the fact that not all people like the intrusive aromas emanating from washed clothes, Vernel has developed a softener without harsh fragrances with a gentle composition. This product is also suitable for people with sensitive skin, it is called Sensitive, which means gentle.

The German brand is confidently among the top 5 best air conditioners. Places after research and expert conclusions were distributed as follows:

Almost all Vernel air conditioners, regardless of name, have earned a lot of positive comments from users. Very few shortcomings were noticed, and all of them are subjective. Overall, this is a quality product that meets safety standards and is sold at an affordable price.

Disadvantages of Vernel

The Vernel mouthwash also has certain disadvantages that housewives highlight:

when adding a little more conditioner for rinsing than recommended by the instructions, white spots form on dark laundry;
very sweet smell. Certain types of products smell so strongly that even when touching dry clothes, a pronounced cloying odor begins to emanate from the palms;
Certain people develop allergies when exposed to air conditioning. This indicates that the composition is not completely safe and hypoallergenic;
Some things still become electrified after washing in Vernel.

How to use

Vernel clothing rinses can be used for washing clothes in any type of machine, as well as washing and rinsing by hand. The following operating instructions must be observed:

if you use an activator washing machine or when washing by hand, then add 30 ml of Vernel detergent composition to 10 liters of water. This conditioner should be added during the last rinse cycle;
When using automatic machines, add 50 ml of product to the powder compartment. This amount of conditioner is enough to wash 5.5-6 kg of clothes;
If washing is done by hand, the product must first be dissolved in water, and only then the laundry is placed in the basin.

When washing by hand, it is advisable to use a slightly smaller amount of rinse aid, since housewives note that in this case the aroma of the clothes is very pronounced.

Important points

There are certain recommendations from the manufacturer that must be followed to ensure that rinsing occurs safely and with the highest quality possible:

when items are washed using this detergent, no additional rinsing is required;
Do not add Vernel fabric softener to the clothes themselves. This often leads to the formation of white spots from the product and deformation of things;
The product should be stored in the original bottle, in a place inaccessible to children;
You must adhere to the dosage recommended by the manufacturer. It is permissible to slightly reduce the required rinsing dose. This depends on the amount of clothes that need to be washed;
on bottles with “Vernel” product there is a viewing window on the side, which makes it possible to see how much detergent is in the bottle;
The composition should be stored for no more than two years, in a cool, dry place, with a temperature of 22-25 degrees;
When manually rinsing, you should wear protective gloves to avoid contact with chemicals.

In general, customer reviews about Vernel mouthwashes are mostly positive. Sometimes there is negativity on the forums, but, as a rule, this only applies to the very pungent aroma of certain types of air conditioners. In cases where it is necessary for the washed clothes to not have a very strong smell, you need to add a little less laundry detergent.
