Soak Soakwash 12oz-Lacey, Other, Multicoloured

This is my go to product for lingerie and hand knits. It’s so easy to use and lasts for ages as you use such a tiny amount. Beautiful fragrances too. Just add to warm water let soak for 15mins and your done, no need to rinse.

easy to use, no rinse is a bonus, prolongs life of hand wash clothes

This isn't a cheap product when you first think about it but it really is worth it. I have a soft spot for cashmere jumpers here at Chez Bee and wanted to make sure that they washed well so I could prolong their life (after hubby boil washed one and it became the size for a small cat). It doesn't take a lot for a wash and works well for hand washing or on a good wool machine was (but I always use a laundry bag to stop excess piling). It cleans well, leaves no residue and a bottle lasts me about 20 washes.

This is great for fine woollens and particularly cashmere sweaters. So easy and NO rinsing.

Was recommended by Peller & Rigby for washing underwear. Has certainly kept mine in shape and colour, so easy to use. Soak 15mins , no rinsing

I have used this product since 2013 for my hand wash underwear. The elastic and fabric on these garments has lasted all that time and looks amazing. I would never have been able to keep them looking this new with any other product. It lasts incredibly well, only a small amount is needed for each wash. Highly recommend it. I would mention I haven’t tried any other if the perfumes that are available but I like the lacy one.

I have never used this before but when it was was recommended to me thought I would give it a try. Very pleased with the results, I used it to wash linen dresses and will use for lingerie in the future.

I use Soak a lot, both for washing woolens and delicate items and for blocking newly knitted sweaters etc. It works. Great, but not overpowering, scent and I love that you don’t have to rinse it out - like a leave-in conditioner for my woolies..

parfait pour les tricots

Lavage rapide et doux des lainages, lingerie et autre délicats.

I purchased this item because it was recommended by the NY Times Wirecutter. They are the first place I go for product recommendations, and I trust them. When they recommended this product, I was sold. When I found out I didn't have to rise after using this, SOLD! This product is so lovely. These 12oz have lasted me a long time. I only use it for delicates and fabrics that need particular care, like a beautiful wool sweater I got in Iceland. If anything happened to it, I would cry, so this is my go-to care for it. The scents of this wash are light and lovely. They are not perfume-strong - more like an essence so your clothing smells clean without smelling like its been through the wash, if that makes sense. I have sensitive skin, and I don't want to use a lot of dyes or perfumes right next to my skin. For more stubborn grime, or clothing that needed more attention, I would let it soak overnight or do multiple soaks. I'd swish the clothes around every 20 minutes or so. When the water looked dirty, I'd drain it out and start over. I needed to do this on a trip where I really needed to clean some socks that weren't coming clean. I washed with shampoo in the shower (no washing machine available). That wasn't enough, so I followed up with Soak, and that really stepped up the cleaning. I'm not sure what the magic was, but the overnight soak was amazing. And, no, nothing is left over. You really don't need to rinse it out. You just gently wring out the excess water then hang to dry. That's it! I didn't notice a film on my clothes or anything else. They looked, smelled, and felt so clean. I always pack a travel size now. I have to make my own bottle, but it's worth it. I can wash my undergarments in the sink and let them dry while traveling, which cuts down on how many I need to bring, but I always have a fresh pair. I'm also using something specifically designed to actually wash them. Shampoo is nice, but it's still shampoo.

I'm not a fan of handwashing, but I've recently begun wearing compression for health reasons, and my washer doesn't 'do' cold water, so here we are. Bonus: all my sweaters are clean now, too! This is the first no-scrub-required detergent I've tried, and I'm impressed! It really does work. A little gentle agitation doesn't seem to hurt, but just leaving the clothes in over night seemed to do the trick just as well. I even used it to loosen up the grime on my AC filters after not cleaning them all winter, and they look good as new. No idea how it works, but I would certainly trust it with anything fiber-ish. I went with 'Lacey' for the scent, and I don't mind it too much though I'll probably try a different one next time. It smells a little like flowers and a lot like bubblegum, but it mostly reminds me of going through a car wash with all the colored foam options. It doesn't linger much after washing, just enough that things smell fresh.

I actually am on the fence for this review as I really wanted to give it 5 stars and would have but for the scent. I really wish they would describe the scent in the description. I went based on reviews and that was probably my mistake. In reviews it was said to have a slightly floral but mostly bubblegum scent. That seemed wonderful actually. Instead what it has seems like they are trying to imitated what normal commercial "fresh" laundry scent has, which is the exact opposite in what I was hoping when buying this product. The saving grace is that it is not overwhelming and it fades and it did not give me an asthma attack so I believe it is not chemically created. I would describe it as mildly floral mostly perfumy scent. Gets my laundry clean, and I will happily try another scent next time, and isn't so horrible I will throw away a $20 bottle, but I look forward to using it up so I can try another scent. I am glad I waited to try the scent before ordering the flatter though. FYI I tried to order the sample sets/travel sets so I could try fragrances first but they were all out. I love that this product is wool safe as most my wardrobe is handwash marino and I wanted something nicer than the blue dish soap I have been using the last few years.
