Gall soap is a powerful natural stain removing treatment but also environmentally friendly.  Bovine gall is a direct by-product of animals which are reared for meat and makes uses of a part of the animal that would otherwise be wasted. Disana Gall Soap is sourced from animals reared humanely on organic farms according to strict welfare and environmental standards.

This is fantastic soap but as it's natural and doesn't use artificial perfumes it does have a strong odour. This does wash out and doesn't linger.

Why do I need special wool shampoo?

The chemical structure of wool is very similar to human hair so just like with hair washing you should only use gentle cleaning products. Wool is especially sensitive to soap (alkalines). The structure of its fibres makes wool especially sensitive to heat, friction and strong chemicals, so care needs to be taken when washing woollen products.

Wool naturally repels dirt and neutralises odours and liquids. Due to these natural properties of wool, woollen items only need to be washed occassionally and are just aired inbetween washes.

It is very important that you do not wash wool items too warm otherwise, wool suffers a "temperature shock" and pulls together quickly causing felting.

• 15 ml per wash(1/2 capful).
• Only wash woollens in the machine on a cold wool wash;
• set temperature to “cold”(25°C);
• do not spin;
• do not leave in the suds.

Hand Washing Instructions

It is very important that you do not wash wool items too warm otherwise, wool suffers a "temperature shock" and pulls together quickly causing felting.

• 5 ml per 4 litres of water into a hand basin.
• Use lukewarm water (25°C) - check with a baby bath thermometer
• Do not rub or scrape at woollens
• Simply push the item down into the cleansing mixture several times to wash through
• Only place woollens briefly in the water - the shorter the washing process the better for the product.
• Rinse out with clear water after washing with lukewarm water (25°C)
   

Drying Instructions

Do not dry in the sun, on a radiator or a tumble dryer.

Instead lay your wool item on a dry terry towel and let it dry in a well ventilated room.
