Soak Wash - Scentless 12 oz Laundry Detergent

Saves a bundle of money if you have stacks of cashmere.

I use these on my silk pillowcases, and it works great. My pillowcases are able to stay buttery, smooth, cool, and soft. My boyfriend even bought new silk pillowcases for himself after realizing how much better they feel when they are properly washed. I have a dye allergy, but have had no issues with this product. I haven’t noticed any scent.

Great product and works perfectly for delicates to help them last longer. The new bottle is pretty flimsy, but hopefully doesn't leak. Repeat purchase.

We have an inordinate amount of woolens and delicates in my home. My husband is a bit more suspicious of machine washing, but for many of my sweaters and other delicates as well as the woolens and delicates for my kids, I wash in my machine using scentless Soak. I still bring a bunch of items to the dry cleaner (such as nicer knits/woolen, formal wear, etc., but I find this method works well for me.) After a bit of experimenting, this is what I do:(1) I put items into wash bags for delicates; make sure to only do loads of similar colors together. I found that several cashmere sweaters in bright colors bled a little when handwashing,(2) Squeeze a generous amount of Soak directly on the laundry inside the drum. (I use a front loading HE machine). I also put a good amount into the detergent dispenser. I don't have an exact amount for this since it depends on how much I am washing, but one bottle lasts me about 5-7 good loads (and sometimes much more).(3) Set the presoak setting with COLD wash. This is an important step, because I found this is when my items actually got the "washing" that mimicked handwashing/soaking. If you do not have a presoak setting, I would experiment with the options on your machine. The goal is to get your items soaking in the Soak and water with as minimal agitation as possible. This really serves as the main "wash" portion.(4) Run the items on the delicate setting on COLD wash and then lay flat to dry. (Full disclosure that I actually presoak and then just run a regular wash cold on my items now because I found the very low spin cycle on delicate to leave my clothing so damp it took a long time to dry. I do believe doing this runs a much higher risk of damaging the clothing though. I sometimes also lay out an item on a dry towel with another towel on top and gently roll to help dry.)The laundry will have that wet wool smell if you use the scentless, but this does not bother me and dissipates as it dries. Because we have chemical sensitivities in my family, we have never tried any of the scented versions of this. Soak is meant to be a rinseless soap, but I do prefer to rinse it out. As others have said, this is not a cheap option, but for us, using this for loads of woolens/delicates about twice a month has saved us quite a bit of dry-cleaning. I also find that I am less "precious" with some of my clothing that I might not wear because I don't want to dry clean it. A note that I have also used this for handwashing and found it to be a good product. I simply don't have patience for the washing/rinsing (since I don't like to skip rinsing) and then the drying. For items that I am more careful with and that I absolutely do not want to agitate, I will still handwash.I removed one star because I find that the bottle (simple squeeze bottle) gets messy and that it is a bit expensive. I have this on my subscribe and save, which is a testament to how often I use it and how happy I have been with it so far.

Great product for delicate.I also recommend it for my crochet plushie business.

Great detergent with a mild fresh scent for all of your hand washable delicates.

Used for my support nylons.
