Wool Savvy | Specialist Wool & Cashmere Wash (500ml)
The Best Detergent for Wool, Cashmere & Knitted Garments
A fabric-specific laundry detergent designed specifically for wool, cashmere and knitted garments - to gently cleanse, soften and protect delicate protein fibres while extending garment life.
Why Wool Requires a Specialist Detergent
Wool and cashmere are protein fibres, which behave very differently from cotton or synthetics.
When washed with regular laundry detergents, wool fibres can:
-
Lose softness and elasticity
-
Become dry, brittle or itchy
-
Stretch or lose shape and fibres weeken over time
Most general detergents are not designed for the unique structure of wool fibres. Wool Savvy is especially made to nourish and protect wool to extend the life of your quality items.
Wool requires a specialist wool wash that cleans gently without stripping natural oils or damaging fibre integrity.
Wool Savvy is a Specialist Wool Detergent, Not a General Delicates Wash
Bon Savvy's Wool Savvy was created specifically for discerning consumers who invest in quality wool and cashmere garments and want to care for them properly.
This is not a general delicates wash.
It is a professional-grade wool detergent you can use at home that's formulated to:
-
Clean without fibre stress
-
Maintain softness and loft
-
Preserve shape and drape
-
Reduce itchiness and stiffness
-
Extend the lifespan of wool and cashmere
- Protect wool against moth damage and beautifully scent (naturally derived)
It allows wool garments to be safely washed at home so you can skip the dry cleaners.
