Disana Shampoo Overview
Disana Wool Shampoo is a mild wool shampoo and matches to the very specific demands of natural wool. Disana wool shampoo preserves the sensitive wool fibres and minimises the risk of a possible felting by washing.
Panama bark extract acts as natural foam former and improves the cleaning power even with cold hand or machine washing. As a concentrate, it can be used very sparingly and is sufficient for many wool and silk washes.
Its pH value of the Disana Shampoo is adjusted to wool, which is slightly acidic. This makes disana wool shampoo especially suitable for the gentle washing of high-quality wool and silk, e.g. angora, cashmere ormedically tanned lambskin
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.
