Cotton Wash - 300ml

MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR PLANT FIBRES
Different fibres have different needs. Cotton Wash is formulated especially for cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp and other plant fibres and their blends.

WITH COTTON SEED OIL
Cotton seed oil helps condition plant fibres and maintain a soft, smooth feel.

NO REPEATED RINSING REQUIRED
Cotton Wash uses surfactants that loosen dirt from the fibres and suspend it in the wash water. When you lift the garment out, the loosened dirt stays in 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, while allowing the conditioning ingredients to remain in the garment.

FOR EVERYDAY FAVOURITES AND TREASURED PIECES
Ideal for cotton knits, linen garments, bamboo clothing, hemp pieces and plant-fibre blends.

IDEAL FOR HAND-KNITS AND BLOCKING TOO
Our roots are in knitting, and Cotton Wash remains an ideal finishing wash for handmade plant-fibre garments and wet blocking.

UP TO 60 WASHES
Use 5 ml / approximately 3 pumps in soft water or 10 ml / approximately 6 pumps in hard water per 5 litres of water.

A light, fresh citrus fragrance designed to leave garments smelling clean without overpowering the senses.

HAND WASHING

Fill a basin with 5 litres of cold to tepid water.

Add 3–6 pumps (5–10 ml) of Cotton Wash:

• 3 pumps / 5 ml for soft water
  
• 6 pumps / 10 ml for hard water
  

Submerge the garment and leave to soak for 20 minutes.

Gently squeeze out excess water. Avoid rubbing, wringing or excessive agitation.

Roll the garment in a clean towel and press out further moisture.

Lay flat, hang or block to dry, depending on the garment.

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 to nourish your garments as a hand-wash treatment. We therefore strongly recommend using the hand-wash method above, as the long-term conditioning effect of the added cotton seed oil cannot be guaranteed when machine washing; repeated machine rinsing may progressively remove the conditioning ingredients from the fibres.

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

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

For particularly delicate, handmade or treasured garments, we recommend hand washing.
