The cyclodextrins contained in Cyclofresh® can be embedded into the fabric on a permanent basis. Even after machine washing, they remain active, every time.The number of washes cyclodextrin survives depends on the particular material being used.
The embedded fragrances are released when the garment is worn and the skin becomes moist. Even though these are eventually used up, they are replaced after washing by fragrances within your washing detergent and fabric softener.This is because cyclodextrins have a natural attraction to fragrance molecules.They very easily absorb and store fragrances from washing detergents, softeners, tumble dryer sheets and spray on perfumes. When garments are worn again, these new fragrances are gradually released and so the consumer has the opportunity to personalize the scent of their clothing.
