👉 The cloth fluid, also known as liquid fabric softener or ionic softening solution, is a type of chemical treatment applied to fabrics, particularly linens and cotton, to enhance their softness and reduce static electricity. This solution works by replacing the natural hydrophobic (water-repelling) molecules on the fabric fibers with hydrophilic (water-attracting) ones, which attract water and moisture. As a result, the fabric becomes softer, more comfortable to touch, and less prone to static cling. When used in washing machines, the cloth fluid is often combined with water and detergent to create a more effective cleaning and softening process, leaving clothes feeling smoother and fresher after use.
