Sock Wash - 300ml

MADE FOR HARDWORKING NATURAL FIBRES
Socks experience repeated wear, friction and washing. Sock Wash is formulated at a fibre-friendly pH of 5.0–5.5 to clean them while caring for delicate natural fibres.

WITH ADDED LANOLIN
Lanolin helps condition animal fibres and maintain their soft, supple feel — particularly useful for wool and merino socks.

WITH TEA TREE OIL
Tea tree oil gives Sock Wash its distinctive fresh, clean fragrance and makes it particularly suited to frequently worn socks.

NO REPEATED RINSING REQUIRED
Sock 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 HANDMADE AND EVERYDAY SOCKS
Ideal for hand-knitted socks, merino walking socks, wool socks and other natural-fibre favourites.

UP TO 60 WASHES
Based on 5 ml per 5 litres of soft water.

A crisp, fresh tea tree fragrance that leaves frequently worn socks smelling clean without being overpowering.

HAND WASHING

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

Add 3–6 pumps (5–10 ml) of Sock Wash:

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

Submerge the socks and leave to soak for 20 minutes.

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

Roll in a clean towel 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 care instructions, particularly for washing temperature.

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 lanolin cannot be guaranteed when machine washing; repeated machine rinsing may progressively remove lanolin from the fibres.

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

Use Sock Wash on a wool or delicate cycle, following the yarn ball’s or garment manufacturer’s washing and temperature instructions.

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