Textile softeners (also called fabric softer or conditioner) are used to prevent static cling and make the fabric softer i.e. Softening agents are applied to textiles to improve their hand, drape, cutting, and sewing qualities. Fabric softeners work by coating the surface of the cloth fibers with a thin layer of chemicals; these chemicals have lubricant properties and are electrically conductive, thus making the fibers feel smoother and preventing the build-up of static electricity..
