What is it?
Laundry detergents come in all types of formulas; Liquids, Gel Pods, Powders, Tablets etc. The list is endless… But did you know there are specially formulated detergents for specific types of materials? Most detergents are marketed for skin sensitivity, power, performance and ease of use (such as pods) but they are rarely marketed for specific materials. These types of detergents can be hard to find in general stores, so you may not even realise that they are available and will be your best option when wanting to care properly for something delicate or special such as wool or silk.
Why use it?
To care for your fabrics properly, you’ll need an appropriate detergent such as the Delicate Laundry Liquid by Ecozone for wools, silks & other fabrics. Doing so, can avoid damage such as; staining and dulling of the material. Ecozones Delicate Wash Detergent is a non-bio, non-toxic formula. This unique product is also suitable for those with the most sensitive skin so it’s perfectly ideal for washing baby clothes. The delicate formula is fragrance-free too as no perfume has been added to avoid inhalation issues while hand washing. It’s also free from colourants and handles dirt with ease so there’s no comprising on washing performance.
You should always follow the wash care label when washing your delicates and before using any product on the fabric. Here’s some advice also:
