Eucalan Fabric Wash

Eucalan has long been our family's favorite wash for wool and any other fiber we knit or crochet with.  Single-wash .17 oz Pods are perfect for including with a yarn-crafted gift - a gentle nudge to wash knitted or crocheted items with care! 

Not only does Eucalan clean the garments we have so lovingly created, it also adds lanolin to condition fibers and keep static away. Essential oils (see choices below) each add scent and an additional benefit, from keeping moths away to antiseptic properties.  Eucalan can also be used for delicates, like sweaters, lingerie, hosiery, comforters, down jackets, bathing suits and baby items. 

Washing couldn't be easier.  Simply add Eucalan and garment to tepid water, gently squeeze suds through, soak for a few minutes, then drain.  No need for a rinse! 

Choose from 4 wonderful essential oil scents or unscented.  

Eucalyptus: Eucalan’s original scent. First introduced in 1989, it is scented using essential oil of eucalyptus. Eucalyptus oil is a natural moth and flea inhibitor, so use Eucalan Eucalyptus regularly on woolens and particularly before storing them for the season. This fresh, clean scent is an excellent unisex choice. 

Lavender: Eucalan’s Lavender Delicate Wash is scented using the essential oil of lavender. Known for its natural moth and flea inhibiting with antiseptic properties, this is a versatile wash for all fibres. Lavender’s sweet soothing scent is ideal for baby items like blankets, stuffed animals, clothing and wool diaper covers. Eucalan's most versatile scent, use it on all your delicates like sweaters, lingerie, hosiery, comforters, linens, bedding, down jackets and bathing suits.

Grapefruit: Eucalan’s Grapefruit Delicate Wash is scented using essential oil of grapefruit. Grapefruit oil is a natural antiseptic which is particularly beneficial when washing garments that lie close to the skin such as hosiery, workout wear, bathing suits and lingerie. The lanolin enriched formula helps to naturally condition fibres and keep static away. Use on all your delicates and enjoy the fresh, light, invigorating scent.

Jasmine: Eucalan’s newest scent is infused with the beneficial essential oil of Night Bloom Jasmine. Jasmine oil is a natural antiseptic making it perfectly suited for your most delicate fibres. Like all Eucalan scents, Jasmine contains a touch of lanolin to naturally condition fibres and keep static to a minimum. Of all Eucalan options, this is our strongest scent and has quickly become a fan favourite. Wrap your delicates in an aphrodisiac with the intoxicating scent of Jasmine.

Unscented: Eucalan’s Unscented Delicate Wash is the same trusted formula without essential oils. It is Eucalan – bare naked, with no added chemicals to hide the natural scent of the product. The lanolin enriched formula helps to condition fibres and keep static away. For those with scent sensitivities, use Eucalan Unscented on all your delicates such as sweaters, lingerie, hosiery, comforters, down jackets, bathing suits and baby items. Really, it is great anytime you don’t want a competing scent.
