Stergene Gentle Care for Handwash Delicates 500ml

Product Information

If you develop any rashes or redness on your hands and arms when hand washing your laundry, you should clean your arms and hands immediately, and stop hand washing your clothes. This method may not be suitable for you, or you might need to use a different detergent. Some washing powders are biological, which is stronger than non-biological detergent, and therefore, isn’t suitable for delicate materials.

Make sure the washing up liquid is well diluted—the method linked to above only recommends using one tablespoon of washing up liquid in a big tub of water. Pre-treatments should be done before the hand washing takes place – this’ll help to give your clothes the best overall clean.

Sadly, you cannot use Persil Bio Handwash Washing Powder to clean delicate materials, like silk and wool, because it’s likely to damage the material. You should instead use Persil’s specialised delicate cleaner: Persil Silk and Wool Delicate Washing Liquid for the job. Persil Bio Handwash can be used to clean some of your dirtiest clothes because it is a biological cleaner. The product isn’t overly scented, the powder helps to soften clothing’s fibres and it can be used at low temperatures too, which is better for the environment. In addition to this, you should also think about hand washing clothes made from delicate materials, like wool, lace, silk, clothes with lots of beading and items with fine details. You should also make sure that you use a delicate detergent that is suitable for wool, like the ones listed above.

Only hang wool sweaters up to dry after spin drying them, even if you washed them by hand originally. This will help them keep their shape.

If you are washing by hand and just leave the garment to soak without moving it, you should be able to get away with using hotter water. When it comes to hand washing dirty laundry it sounds simple enough. You grab the clothes, fill the sink, add a detergent, swish the clothes around, rinse and pop them on the line to dry.

Can You Use Normal Laundry Detergent on Wool?

The key is to be very gentle and not to overstretch the material! How long does it take to hand wash clothes? It is not, however, suitable for delicate materials, like silk and wool, and if you do clean said materials with this powder the enzymes in the formula could damage the fibres. It’s not an overly-scented laundry cleaner, unlike other entries on this list, but clothes do smell fresh after they’ve been washed in this detergent. And this pleasant aroma stays around for some time too. When your clothes have been washed remove them from the ‘rinsing zone’ and lay them out flat on a towel. Tip: You will need to change the water in your ‘washing zone’ frequently when hand washing clothes. Particularly if you move from a dark item to a light item because colour run could become a problem for you.

If you’ve got a couple of items to wash, it might take half an hour or so. But obviously the more laundry you have, and the more diverse your piles of dirty clothes are, the longer it’ll take you to treat and clean each individual item of clothing. What happens if you don’t use laundry detergent when hand washing? There are plenty of wool detergents that you can use in the washing machine now if you have the right setting, too, so there’s no need to hand wash them. Ecover has gone to great lengths to ensure this laundry detergent is ideal for wool and silks. It’s approved by The Woolmark Company, a global authority on Merino wool clothing, so your wools and silks will be perfectly happy when washing with this. The fragrance left behind by Persil is pleasant enough, yet it isn’t overpowering. In fact, in some cases, it might be better for you to use this powder alongside a fabric conditioner to boost the smell of your laundry and to increase the material’s soft texture.
