Our woolens are always kept close at hand on our Sunday coastal walks, thanks to the wonderfully changeable British weather.

Our botanical formulation is gentle enough to freshen those special pieces (including cashmere) without compromising their fibres.

Gentle enough for the most sensitive of skins, our formulation combines modern plant-based technology with naturally derived active ingredients.

Free from chlorine and bleach, it’s suitable for the whole family: from my favourite silk shirt, to my babies’ cashmere gloves.

Maintaining the shape and texture of your precious garments, whilst also preserving the countryside.

Every ingredient that we use in our luxury garment care and homewares collection is chosen with care and consideration. We wanted everything to be safe for use around pets, children and those with sensitive skin or allergies.

Aqua - water. Some people get it from a tap. Some people get it from a river. We get it from a recycled drum that gets refilled with purified, distilled water when needed.

Alkylpolyglukoside - long word. There are only two people here who can pronounce it with confidence. It is something called a surfactant, which means it clings onto the dirt and grime in your garments from everyday wear and whisks it all away. We get it from the sugars of plants.

Anionic Surfactant - very similar to the long word above but slightly easier to pronounce. Again, it comes from plants.

Amphoteric Surfactant - we get this from vegetables. It is a magic ingredient that makes a little bit of Clothing Wash go a long way.

Citric Acid Monohydrate - squeezed lemons. But it sounds better if we call it Citric Acid Monohydrate. I'm sure you agree.

Caring for silk, cashmere and woollens is very different from washing your other garments.

When looked after correctly, woollen garments will reward you with their warmth and comfort. When not cared for correctly, they bobble, become scratch and loose their shape.

We use different quantities of the ingredients from our Clothing Wash to create this specialist Wool and Silk Wash. It is as gentle as can be; formulated to nurture your most delicate garments.

Remember, never wash your wool or silk at a high temperature. They will loose their shape and their colours will fade terribly.

Ideally you should wash them by hand, not in the machine. The friction from a washing machine can felt wool.

To dry your woollen garments, you should first block them. This means laying them flat and gently teasing them into shape using your clean hands. Allow them to sit and dry in a flat position. Never use the tumble dryer.

To dry your silk garments, roll them up in a dry towel to remove water. Then repeat the process in a second towel to remove the remaining excess moisture. Finally, lay flat and leave to air dry. Again, do not use the tumble dryer.

This Wool & Silk Wash is also perfect for using on Cupro fabrics.

We use completely recyclable materials in our packaging. That includes the bottles and jars that our products are housed in. Please take care to wash them out and re-use/recycle them after use.
