The scent of Cedarwood and Orange is divine

Have used this for more than a year and obsessed with the scent. I know I always loved the scents of both Cedarwood and Orange, particularly the ones made with natural ingredients, so it was not surprise to me. I wash all my woollens with this even when they were not yet that dirty just so I can wear them while enjoying the scent! Please never discontinue this scent!

Lovely stuff.

Purchased to use on my expensive knits ( cashmere and Sea Island cotton) leaves my clothes with a subtle smell. So far no problems. Used twice.

Excellent product

Love the aroma & my knitwear looks new after washing with this
I will definitely ordering again thank you

Use it for clothes and saddlepad

I bought this for my wool and cashmere and my Equitex Loden saddlepad -works perfectly and smells nice. Gifted it to family and friends too. The results justify the higher price point.

Amazing

Love how this washes my knitwear and smells amazing

Featured ingredients

Himalayan Cedarwood

Cedarwood comes from the Deodar tree, a highly regarded and sought after tree in the woodlands of North India. The evergreen tree grows in high altitudes of cold areas, and the shavings of the bark form the cedarwood. Our Cedarwood essential oil is extracted from upcycled cedarwood unused by furniture companies. Cedarwood has a woody scent with an undertone of balsamic and a camphorous odour. You can find our Himalayan Cedarwood in our Silk Detergent, Wool Detergent, Sports Detergent, Baby Detergent, our Knitwear Mists and Basil & Mandarin Eco Laundry Detergent

Orange Oil

Orange essential oil is extracted from the rind of the sweet orange, citrus sinensis. The extract is done by a process of cold pressing, which uses pressure to squeeze the oils from the rind. The orange essential oil scent smells citrusy and sweet. Similar to the aroma of orange peels, but typically smelling sweeter and more concentrated. You can find orange oil in our Sports Detergent, Basil and Mandarin Leaf Detergent and Fabric Conditioner, and our Cashmere and Wool Laundry etergent.

Patchouli

Patchouli oil has a characteristic scent that might be described as woody, sweet, and spicy. Apart from the amazing scent, Patchouli has some health benefits due to potent anti-inflammatory compounds in it. Patchouli is native to tropical Asia, where it is widely cultivated and has been used for centuries for its essential oil. You can find Patchouli in our Silk Detergent, Wool Detergent, Sports Detergent, Baby Detergent, Basil & Mandarin Eco Laundry Detergent, Knitwear Mists, and our 'Protect Me' natural moth repellent Scent Bag.

Geranium Oil

Geranium essential oil is derived by steam distillation of the leaves of Pelargonium graveolens, a plant species native to South Africa. Today, Geranium Oil is grown in many regions, including Europe and Asia. The rose-like scent is sharp and herbaceous, with it sweet minty-rose undertone. It promotes balancing and grounding feelings and has been reported to help with scarring and skin health. You can find geranium oil in our Sports Detergent, Cashmere and Wool Detergent, and our Basil and Mandarin Leaf Detergent and Fabric Conditioner.

Lavender

Lavender is indigenous to the mountainous areas off the countries bordering the western European part of the Mediterranean region. The plant spread rapidly across Europe when early travellers carried it, and by the sixteenth-century lavender was already a much-loved plant in England gardens. Lavender has a delicate, sweet smell that is floral, herby and evergreen woodsy at the same time. With it's calming and soothing qualities, it is a highly popular scent choice. You can find lavender in our Basil and Mandarin Leaf Detergent and Conditioner, our Lavender and Thyme Knitwear Mist, our Cashmere and Wool Detergent, and our 'Protect Me' Scent Bags.

your wool detergent questions answered

See All FAQs

Use PH neutral, mild detergent when hand washing or machine washing wool clothing. Avoid using heavy-duty detergents, “bio” detergents containing enzymes, or any detergents containing bleaches.

Firstly, the pH neutral formula protects the delicate fabric fibres. Secondly, the scent of Himalayan Cedarwood and Orange oil provides a natural moth defence - so your jumpers are less likely to be nibbled by moths. So while your wools are getting a good clean, they are also being protected.

Both! Our wool detergent can be used for hand washing, as well as machine washes (just make sure you’re using a wool or delicate cycle).

Our super concentrated formula means a little goes a long way! For a full load, about 3 capfuls of the detergent is plenty, for more usage instructions look at the back of your detergent bottle.

The short answer is yes! Our wool detergent effectively washes away everyday dirt, while helping care for all types of clothes - from jeans, to t-shirts, to more delicate fabrics like silk. But we do recommend our specialist detergents where possible.

Our super concentrated formula means a little goes a long way! For a full load, about 3 capfuls of the wool detergent is plenty, for more usage instructions look at the back of your detergent bottle.
