Yes, fabric softener can work on polyester, but it is not always necessary and can even damage some types of polyester fabrics. Some modern polyester fabrics are designed to be moisture-wicking, which means they are treated with a water-resistant coating that can be compromised by fabric softeners. Additionally, fabric softeners can cause a build-up of chemicals on certain types of polyester that can make them less breathable and not as effective at wicking away perspiration. Ultimately, it is best to follow the care instructions on the label of your polyester garment to determine whether fabric softener is needed or recommended.
