1. Is Eucalan safe to use on lingerie?
Yes, Eucalan is safe for lingerie. Rinsing would be recommended.

2. Is it safe for my children to use?
Yes, it is safe and non-toxic. However, a child should not be using this product without adult supervision.

3. Is it safe to use Eucalan on pets?
Eucalan is fantastic for bathing dogs and other animals. Fleas do not like Eucalan!

4. Will it harm my skin?
Eucalan will not harm the skin (unless the user is highly allergic to eucalyptus, lavender or lanolin). We've had reports of people having softer hands after doing hand-laundry with Eucalan.

5. What is the shelf-life of the Eucalan products?
Eucalan has a shelf life of at least 5 years depending upon how it is stored.

6 . How can I avoid having the colours run?
FIRST - Check for colour fastness, then dry on rack or hang to allow air circulationand avoid wicking.

7. How to tell if something is colour fast?
Moisten a clean, white cloth (100% cotton or other natural fibre).  Press firmly on coloured area in an inconspicuous place. If colour is not "fast" it will transfer to cloth, so wash at own risk or have dry cleaned. Dark colours are prone to bleed into light colours such as black, navy, dark green, burgundy, and red.

8. Why does Eucalan recommend no rinsing?
Convenience, saves time and water. Eucalan is low-sudsing. With wool less handling while wet helps avoid matting and shrinking. No rinsing insures some eucalyptus or lavender (to inhibit moths) will stay in the fabric.

9. What will happens if I do rinse?
For wool - Rinsing is okay if done carefully but we suggest you add a few drops of Eucalan to the rinse water to achieve the benefit of eucalyptus. All other fabrics may be rinsed; rinse until the water runs clear. Low-sudsing agents require less rinsing

10. How can I use Eucalan in my washing machine?
The use of a mesh bag or pillow case is recommended to prevent undue stretching of the delicate article. Large items such as a wool blanket, sheepskin, etc. can withstand the gentle tumbling action. Select the delicate cycle if the machine has that option. For either top load or front load washers, start the washing action at rinse cycle. If your machine is programmed to go through a complete cycle without interruption (like those in a laundromat), just add a little Eucalan to the rinse - as you would any conditioner.

“My roots are deep in the soil of rural Ontario, but my husband and I both love to travel. It was after a trip to Australia and New Zealand several years ago, where we first heard of "no rinse woolwash", that we decided to introduce this unique laundry product to North American homemakers. With the children settled in their own homes or at university, I had some spare time so with the complete support of Harold and family, I embarked on a new career of selling - something I had never done before. The woolwash business was launched in 1989 and the company is now registered as Eucalan, Inc. Harold and I have attended many trade, knitting and craft shows all across Canada, USA and Great Britain. It has been my pleasure to meet many customers at shows and while calling on your stores, and through telephone conversations.

Besides family gatherings and travel, I enjoy music, reading, playing bridge, and handwork. My mother was a skilled needlewoman who was still knitting well into her 90's, and from her I learned to love knitting, sewing and quilting; everyone in the family has been gifted with handmade creations. And, as all you creative types know, when you spend time and money making something you want it to be cared for so it will last a long time. Having done lots of laundry over the years, I believe that Eucalan is the best product of its kind on the market today.......for all fine washables.”
