Cleaning Wash Nikwax Wash Wool for wool clothing 300 ml

Nikwax Wash Wool for wool clothing 300 ml is a liquid detergent formulated specifically for wool garments and wool blends. It gently removes dirt and body odours while preserving the natural softness, loft and drape of wool fibres. The concentrate is suitable for hand washing and machine washing on wool or delicate cycles when used according to care label instructions, and is intended for sweaters, knitwear and outdoor wool layers that require gentle cleaning without compromising insulation or fit.

Advantages

This wool wash cleans effectively while protecting fibre structure, maintaining softness and helping to retain garment shape. It is water-based and designed to be low-risk for felting when used at recommended temperatures and wash settings. The formula helps refresh textiles without leaving heavy residues and supports long-term wearability of wool clothing by avoiding harsh detergents that can strip natural lanolin and alter performance.

Suitable for

• Sweaters and jumpers made from pure wool or wool blends
• Knitwear and garments with delicate wool fibres
• Outdoor wool layers and insulating wool mid-layers
• Hand washing and machine wool/delicate cycles

Key specifications

• Intended fibre type: wool and wool blends
• Cleaning action: removes dirt and odours while preserving softness

How to use

Follow garment care labels before washing. For hand wash, dilute the recommended dose of Nikwax Wash Wool in lukewarm water (use water temperature indicated on the garment care label), immerse the garment and agitate gently for a short period, then rinse thoroughly. For machine washing, add the correct dosage to the detergent compartment or directly to the drum as advised, select the wool or delicate programme with appropriate temperature, and remove garments promptly after the cycle to reshape and dry flat. Avoid tumble drying unless the garment label permits it.

Usage recommendations

Use only the amount recommended on the bottle and keep wash temperatures at the level specified on garment labels to minimise shrinkage and felting. For heavily soiled items, perform a pre-treatment or a second gentle wash rather than increasing water temperature. After washing, reshape garments while damp and dry flat away from direct heat to preserve fit and insulation.
