Know before you buy
Yes, this detergent is suitable for both hand washing and delicate machine cycles. Always ensure you select the delicate or wool setting on your machine to protect the fibers.
The formula is infused with Himalayan Cedarwood and Orange oil, which act as a natural moth deterrent. While it provides a protective scent, we still recommend storing your knitwear in a sealed bag or container during the off-season for maximum protection.
For hand washing, dilute 1-2 capfuls into a basin of cool water. Allow your garment to soak for 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
The detergent is formulated to be gentle and softening, but it does contain essential oils for fragrance. If you have extreme skin sensitivities, we recommend performing a patch test or ensuring the garment is rinsed very thoroughly.
Yes, the bottle is made from 100% aluminum, which is infinitely recyclable. The label is also fully compostable, making the entire package an eco-friendly choice for your laundry room.
While specifically formulated for the unique needs of wool and cashmere, its gentle, softening properties make it suitable for other delicate natural fibers. Always check the garment's care label first to ensure it is safe for liquid washing.
