Hand Wash Kit Sensitive

A GENTLE WAY TO HAND WASH
The drainable basin lets you release the wash water while the garment remains supported inside, helping reduce unnecessary lifting, pulling and strain on delicate fibres when they are wet and at their most vulnerable.

OUR PUREST & SIMPLEST FORMULA
Sensitive Wash contains no added fragrance or essential oils, making it our cleanest and most uncomplicated wash for delicate natural fibres.

DESIGNED WITH SENSITIVE SKIN IN MIND
Fragrance-free and enriched with aloe vera for gentle care of delicate garments and sensitive skin.

PARTICULARLY SUITED TO SILK
With no added fragrance oils, Sensitive Wash is a particularly good choice for silk and other delicate fibres where you want the simplest possible care routine.

NO REPEATED RINSING REQUIRED
Sensitive Wash uses surfactants that loosen dirt from the fibres and suspend it in the wash water. When you drain the basin, the loosened dirt leaves with the water rather than settling back into the fibres. Because the formula is low-foaming, repeated rinsing isn’t needed.

This means less handling and agitation of delicate fibres during washing.

IDEAL FOR WET BLOCKING
Our roots are in knitting. The basin provides plenty of room for a handmade piece to soak for its first wash and full wet block before being gently towel-dried and pinned to shape.

FOLDS FLAT FOR STORAGE
Once you’re finished, the lightweight basin collapses down neatly until the next wash.

Completely fragrance-free.

Sensitive Wash contains no added perfume or essential oils, making it ideal for sensitive skin, for anyone who prefers unscented laundry care, and for delicate fibres such as silk.

SENSITIVE WASH — HAND WASHING

• Open the basin and fill with 5 litres of cold to tepid water.
• Add 3–6 pumps (5–10 ml) of Sensitive Wash.
• Use 3 pumps / 5 ml for soft water.
• Use 6 pumps / 10 ml for hard water.
• Submerge the garment and leave to soak for 20 minutes.
• Open the drain in the base of the basin and allow the wash water to run away while the garment remains supported inside.
• Gently press the garment to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing, wringing or excessive agitation.
• Transfer the garment to a clean towel, roll it up and press out further moisture.
• Lay flat or block to dry.
• There is no need for repeated rinsing.
• Always follow the yarn ball’s or garment manufacturer’s washing and temperature instructions.

MACHINE WASHING

Our No-Rinse Washes are designed primarily as a gentle hand-wash treatment. We therefore recommend using the hand-wash method above for particularly delicate, handmade or treasured garments.

If you still choose to use Sensitive Wash in the washing machine:

• Use on an appropriate wool, delicate or gentle cycle, following the yarn ball’s or garment manufacturer’s washing and temperature instructions.

2–10% anionic surfactants; <5% non-ionic surfactants; <5% amphoteric surfactants; aloe vera; phenoxyethanol; potassium sorbate.

Warning: Causes serious eye irritation.

If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. Keep out of reach of children. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear eye protection.

IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice or attention.
