...when a heard about ' Comfort Vaporesse ' and yes, sad as I am, I went out and bought some straight away, I could actually feel the excitement build in me when I saw it on the shelf in my local Wilkinsons.

It's a clear liquid that you pour directly into your iron. It has a pleasant smell that works with the steam to fragrence your clothes.

Well, the clear liquid comes in a clear 1 litre bottle. On the front a label clearly states what it is. From what I've seen it comes in two varieties / smells. These are, Original and Lily and Riceflower. The original version has a blue clear plastic ...

...Comfort Vaporesse – parfum pour iron. Packaged in a see-through bottle, the clear liquid gives the immediate impression of fresh air.
It’s marketed on the premise that it “infuses your clothes with a delicate fragrance to give them a long-lasting freshness.”
Comfort Vaporesse is used in place of water in your steam iron and is said to reduce the build-up of lime scale deposits inside the appliance.
As the iron heats up, ... ...I was ready to endorse Comfort Vaporesse as one of life’s little ‘must haves.’
I gathered up my ironing with what was to be short-lived pride.
My clothes smelt like a musty cellar, my sheets like a grotty second-hand shop inhabited by cats.
On further inspection pastel coloured t-shirts had greasy spot marks where there hadn’t been greasy spot marks before.
Comfort Vaporesse retails at £1.19 for a litre bottle and is widely ...

Advantages: Great fresh smelling clothes Disadvantages: Wish I could get a bigger bottle!
...assist you with your wash! Comfort Vaporesse is the new fresh fragrance for when you are doing your ironing.
This product is presented in a 1-litre bottle at the cost of £1.39 from my local Tesco’s (prices may vary). It actually took a couple of weeks for me to catch this in stock; it seemed so popular that it was continuously sold out.
So how exactly does this delight work, well Alex and I were sceptical at first as we thought it would cause sticking ... ...and found that it was great did not cause any problems at all.
You simply add the liquid into your steam iron as you would water and let it steam your clothes. You should not add water at the same time there is no need to dilute. Alex was still sceptical and on the first iron he was convinced that his clothes were sticking where in fact the iron was far to high for what he was ironing! Typical for him!
The fragrance of Vaporesse is nothing identifiable ...

So how have I managed to keep him so happy. Comfort Vaporesse, with Lily and Riceflower, that’s how.

The bottle recommends that you DO NOT dilute it, but personally I can’t see why not other than to get you to buy more bottles. I use the water out of the condenser of my tumble dryer to dilute it, as I am sure there is no lime scale in it. However, you can buy special unscented water from the supermarket if you prefer.
I do not like the smell of Lily’s normally, ...

...make your life easier. Comfort Vaporesse was my most recent impulse buy. I say impulse buy, but my excuse is that it was brought purely for consumer research. Yeah right!!
After receiving a money-off voucher for Comfort Vaporesse in my last Bounty Pack, I thought I’d try some. What is Comfort Vaporesse?

...for buying a bottle of Comfort Vaporesse is that it was on offer. I got some from NETTO for around 49p. A definite bargain! I had seen it for over a pound in other shops, so this seemed the ideal chance to try out the product.
For those of you who remember my Vanish Opinion, the other main reason for trying Comfort Vaporesse was to iron my lilac sequinned top. I thought it needed a bit of TLC after going from the wash and being soaked so many times.

Comfort Vaporesse is simple and convenient – all you do is pour it into your steam iron instead of the water. The only downside is that you actually have to iron the garments yourself. If Comfort arranged to have that done for me then this would have been the most civilised option!
For those of you who like to know what is in the product I’m afraid that Lever Brothers don’t give much away. According to the bottle “Comfort ...

The makers of the product, Lever Brothers claimed that this new product would leave my clothes smelling fresher for longer. How? Well I will tell you. Your iron (if it is a steam iron) will have a place to pour in the water to create the steam, so instead of using water, this is where you put the Vaporesse and it creates sweet smelling steam once the liquid is heated up by the iron.

You have not to dilute or pour the vaporesse from the iron back into the bottle.

...is why I first bought Comfort Vaporesse. I had up until now just been using washing powder and softener in my washing, and sometimes you could still smell it on the clothes but it didn’t last very long. Now when I use this to iron my clothes you can still it a few days later. A good tip also is if you’ve been somewhere smoky and your clothes aren’t dirty but just smell a bit, just run the iron over it with some of this in it, they will smell like ... ...long lasting freshness into your clothes – through your iron.” Great I thought and at about £1.20 for a 1 litre bottle I thought it seemed very reasonable. I think this lasts quite a good amount of time as well, I usually iron about 15-20 garments a week (I think!) and 1 bottle has lasted me about 4 weeks. Obviously it all depends on how much you iron and how much steam you use, but that’s all getting too technical!

...I have been using comfort vaporesse for about 2 years now. The idea appealled to me, as I love the smell of fresh clothes, and living in a hard water area, this would be better than using water in my iron!

I can only comment on the lily and ricewater variety of this product, as it's the only one i've tried.
This product is a substitute to water for your iron, basically. Instead of filling your iron up with water, you add this and it's supposed to leave a nice fragrance on your clothes.
The bottle itself is clear, so you can see the contents, which look just like water. The label on the front has the familiar 'comfort' logo and a nice picture of a ... ...litre of the product and a according to the description on the back, makes ironing easier.

Advantages: No More Marks And Great Smell Disadvantages: A Bit Much For What It Is
Who like's ironing ? Not me, that's for sure, anything to make a real chore that little bit easier and I'm game.
One other thing I hate about this task is that whether it's just me, or my iron, I always get little brown marks or stains left on my garments. I have a steam iron, and always fill up using tap water, never a recommended ironing water, what's the point it's just water, why buy the stuff when it comes out of the tap for free ?
