Know before you buy
Yes, this formula is HE compatible and safe for use in both standard and high-efficiency washing machines. For best results, always select the delicate or wool cycle and use cold water.
It is designed to effectively clean wool, cashmere, and mohair at home, which can significantly reduce your reliance on professional dry cleaning. However, always check the garment's care label first to ensure it is labeled as washable.
The cedar fragrance provides a sophisticated, fresh aroma that remains subtle on garments. Beyond the scent, the cedar properties act as a natural deterrent to help keep pests away from your stored knitwear.
The pH-neutral, enzyme-free formula is specifically crafted for natural fibers like wool, cashmere, merino, and mohair. It cleans without stripping the natural oils that keep these luxury materials soft and intact.
Because the formula is double-concentrated, a single 16 fl oz bottle provides enough detergent for up to 32 washes. A little goes a long way, especially when hand-washing individual items.
