Fine Fabric Wash (16.9 Ounce): Eucalyptus

My grandmother taught me to knit when I was a little girl. However, I never excelled at it until I was pregnant with my first born and sentenced to bed rest half way through my pregnancy. A few years later I discovered natural fibers and became an even better knitter. Now I knit socks, lace and multi-stranded sweaters. Putting so much work into each product, I am determined to take the best possible care of my knitted items when they are complete. I only use Eucalan Fine Fabric Wash on my hand knits and Eucalan Eucalyptus is my absolute favorite. WHAT IS IN THE BOX: Eucalan comes in two sizes, but I prefer the larger 16.9 oz size because I knit a lot. Each bottle contains a rich, gently scented fine fabric wash. I can wash several items in a dish washing tub with about a tablespoon of Eucalan. A large bottle lasts a long time. WHAT I LIKE: • The gentle scent does not give me a migraine. That is actually a big deal for me. • It works. I use it on sweaters I have knit for my kids and they get all sorts of stuff on them. • A little goes a long way. • The lanolin conditions wool naturally. I use wool more than anything in my hand knits. • This product is biodegradable. • I have used it for years with a septic tank and have never had any issues. • I don’t have to rinse it out of my hand knits after soaking. This makes it super easy to use. • Eucalyptus is a natural moth repellant. • Made in America (Canada) where oversight is higher. • Thick and rich but easily dissolves in water. WHAT I DON’T LIKE: • I have used this product for more than a decade and have never found anything I do not like about it. PICTURES: I am including pictures of the bottle and a little of the product in my hand. This is a fantastic wool wash that works on other fine fabrics as well. It is the only thing I would use on fine fabrics and I highly recommend it.

First started using this stuff for my son's diaper covers. Had a half empty bottle sitting in the closet for about 10 years before it occurred to me to try it on my bicycling clothing. The results were fantastic. I wear a lot of (expensive) merino wool products although they are usually machine washable, I've found they last much longer and look better hand washed in Eucalan It's actually easier and more efficient than the washing machine and I like that it's restoring some of the lanolin that otherwise gets washed out over time. I fill a small tub with water and a little Eucalan. I add the clothes and let them soak for an hour or two. Then I pour out the dirty water and put the clothes in the washing machine on the spin only cycle, takes 10 minutes in my front loading machine. The clothes come out very clean and almost dry. My wool cycling shorts, which take a lot of abuse and get washed at least once a week, still look new after one year of this treatment. Another garment that I feel was "saved" by Eucalan is a very expensive heavyweight wool shirt made by Filson. Even though it was labeled dry clean only, it never really came clean form those costly and inconvenient trips to the cleaners (plus "washing" your clothing in toxic chemicals seems really gross to me!). Eventually it accumulated enough grubby stains that it was unwearable in public. I gave it a two hour soak in Eucalan, then the spin treatment above. After hang drying it looked like new and smelled great. I also use Eucalan for travel. Since rinsing is optional, it's very easy to wash your clothing in a hotel room sink. I wear a lot of merino by Icebreaker, Ibex, Smartwool, etc and it all responds really well to this treatment. It seems to work fine on cotton and synthetic clothing as well.

I really love this fabric wash. I use it for anything that I hand wash from sweaters to the couch cushion covers. It doesn’t cause fading, cleans well and smells great.

Nice 16 oz size. A staple for blocking knitwear fresh off the needles.

I have only recently gotten more serious about my knitting skills and admit that in the past I rarely blocked my pieces. I am singing a different song now. I’ve learned the importance of blocking and discovered this gentle wool wash in which I can soak my pieces. It does not require rinsing and the scent is lovely and definitely not overpowering. Not only will I be blocking but I will be using this for the soak and washes.

Works well with wool, but dont expect the scents to remain. Ive bought a lavender and a eucalyptus and neither ever had any scent

This is liquid gold for my cashmere and wool! I love that you don’t have to rinse it, yet it still leaves every item clean and fresh. I’ve only tried the eucalyptus scent and I love it so much. I’m very sensitive to various scents that often appear in commercial soaps, and this scent definitely agrees with me. Three generations of my family have used this soap to keep our wool and cashmere clean and fresh and free of moths!

I am now wearing a lot of Smartwool and Minus 33 products- lightweight t-shirts, polos, socks, and even men's briefs. Yes- wool, in summer. Lightweight wool is great in summer, it breathes and wicks better than cotton or even the best synthetics - and without the "funk" one sometimes associates with synthetic undergarments. And- merino wool is soft and not itchy. However the thinness and softness comes with a price- merino wool simply can not stand up to as many machine washings as other materials can. But all is not lost- here comes Eucalan to the rescue! I love the light eucalyptus smell (and it might even repel moths!), and since there's no need to rinse, hand washing is not such a chore. Get a larger bottle for home, and one of the tiny bottles for trips- you can wash your stuff out in the hotel sink with this. Even the non-wool stuff.

Ne avevo sentito parlare, ma mai provato. I capi rimangono estremamente morbidi e risultano arricchiti nella trama del tessuto. Sembra aggiungere consistenza pur nell'estrema morbidezza. Lo consiglio spassionatamente! E ne va usato pochissimo, un solo cucchiaio da tavola per una lavatrice caricata con 5 maglioni. Pensavo non bastasse, invece è più che sufficiente, si potrebbero aggiungere un altro paio di capi. Consegna effettuata in anticipo rispetto alle indicazioni.

...ich nehme es zum Baden der selbstgesponnenen oder frisch verstrickten Wolle (vor dem Spannen), aber es ist natürlich auch super zum Waschen von feinen Wollstücken. Es riecht dezent und fein (habe alles ausser Lavendel probiert).

1 tsp washed 3 wool sweaters and a thick set of outdoor winter gear in the same handwash load. It's a no rinse, so you drain and dry. Did a great job releasing dirts and unwanted oils, while loosening wool fibres and replenishing the softness with natural lanolin. After washing the wool feels less "dry," has a wonderfully light natural fresh smell (not overpowering), and feels like it has a moisturizer built in.

Bonne lessive avec très peu de produit pour laver le lainage

Great thing about it that you don’t have to rinse it out, so delicate fabrics are not stressed by so much agitation Smell is quite mild and once dried you don’t notice it Wool is soft and non itchy
