Wool wash


Hello all - read somewhere that you can use wool wash for your clothes and no rinsing required - is this correct?  Also if you didn't rinse wouldn't there be a build of detergent.  Thank you for your help in advance.  Have a happy day.  smilesmilesmilebiggrinbiggrinbiggrinconfuseconfuseconfuse

As far as I am aware, there is no detergent in Woolwash [if it's the real thing.]

Been using it for around 30 years with no adverse effects.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Have heard of Eucalyptus Wash (forgot the brand) which you don't have to rinse the items.

We use Comfort for our small washes (warm water) in the van without rinsing, it doesn't leave any build up. We do however use a no frills powder in large machine washes (cold water) of sheets and towels, etc. In winter we use a No frills Eucalyptus wash (warm water) for woollens and track suits in order to keep shape of garments.

I found it doesn't get dirty clothes very clean - OK for undies and relatively 'clean' clothes

Depends on the wash. Proper wool wash does not need rinsing, primarily eucalyptus and other stuff and as long as it is air dried, all your hand knits will be cleaned and smelling fresh. My wife taught me that, and I still have some of her hand knits!

Last few times we were through that way the actual rest stops had been removed whilst roadworks were taking place. However there is still access to the service station, you can overnight on their grounds if you desire.

I have been using Earth Choice wool wash for five years - no build up - clothes as clean as anyone elses - I always wash by hand - have a 20l bucket and a paint stirrer- works well. Tried a more expensive brand, and no difference, so why spend the money.
