"And.... by increasing fluffiness can also increase the flammability of
certain fabrics, such as fleece and terrycloth. Therefore do not use
this product on fabric made with these fluffier type of fabrics."
Yeah, like someone else (metalgirl?) said, fabrics burn better when
they're fluffier- i.e. cotton gauze will burn better than cotton denim,
simply because denim is more tightly packed. (Take it from an
ex-firedancer.) So, whatever other properties fabric softener may have,
the chemicals themselves aren't flammable or anything.
Fabric softener also contains a lot of "pore-clogging" oils believe it or not. I know this is especially true of sheet fabric softeners (like Bounce), but liquid to some degree as well. Some people are more sensitive than others... some won't be affected at all. I'm an Aesthetician, and I've seen various clients with acne problems whose use of softeners on their bed linens was a contributing factor, and omitting it helped a lot. I'm not saying that the fabric softener was the cause of their acne, but it definitely didn't help in some of the cases I've seen.
