EFFICIENT NATURAL FORMULA WITH UP TO 20 WASHES This plant-derived, dye-, phosphate-, and sulphate free, biodegradable and non bio detergent with added natural lanolin only needs 5ml - or 3 pumps - per wash which makes 100 ml go a long way.
PUMP BOTTLE FOR EASY MEASURE AND NO WASTE The pump lid makes dispensing small amounts clean and easy. No more gloopy caps or fingers, just 3 pumps give you a clean and accurate measure of 5ml every time. Say no to waste and yes to the planet.
PREPARES FOR WINTER STORAGE The tea tree essential oil will add an extra layer of protection against fibre-hungry moths. We recommend storing your hand-knit woollen socks in breathable cotton storage bags and add moth repellents.
