A product shaped by the weather
This is a small but genuine cultural difference. British houses have historically had far lower rates of tumble dryer ownership than American ones, and British weather means washing hung outside frequently has to come back in. A great deal of British laundry dries on an airer in a living room or over a radiator.
Indoor drying produces a flat, slightly stale smell. An entire segment of the British fabric conditioner market exists to address that, and Outdoorable is Fairy's entry: a scent engineered to suggest fresh air and line drying on washing that never saw either.
American laundry marketing tends to sell freshness in general terms rather than as a substitute for outdoor drying, because the dryer is assumed. Once you know that, the product name makes complete sense.
Fabric conditioner in the British sense
Conditioner goes into the dedicated compartment of the machine drawer, not into the drum with the detergent. It softens fibres and carries scent, and in Britain it is treated as a near-essential rather than an optional extra. Dryer sheets, the common American alternative, are far less used.
This is the Fairy range, which is positioned around sensitive skin, so it sits alongside the non-bio detergents rather than the heavily perfumed products.
Using it
Measure by the cap into the conditioner compartment before starting the wash. Do not pour it directly onto clothes, which can mark fabric. At 86 washes the bottle lasts a long time.

Frequently asked questions
What does "Outdoorable" mean?
It is a scent designed to make indoor-dried washing smell line-dried, which is a common British problem given the weather and lower dryer use.
Where does it go in the machine?
The fabric conditioner compartment of the drawer, not the drum. Detergent and conditioner go in separately.
Is it the same as a dryer sheet?
No. It is a liquid used during the wash. Dryer sheets are an American convention that Britain largely skipped.
How many washes?
86 from the 1.204 litre bottle, at the dosing on the cap.
