Is it safe for whites and colours?
✓ One formula for both
Sensitive Laundry Liquid works on whites, colours, and mixed loads with the same dose. Use 24ml (6 pumps) for a regular load, or 40ml (10 pumps) for a large or heavily soiled load.
✓ How it protects fabric
✓ Anti-redeposition surfactants stop whites greying
✓ No chlorine bleach to weaken fibres or fade colours
✓ No optical brighteners faking it under UV light
⚠ Not for wool, silk, or other animal fibres
The enzymes in Sensitive Laundry Liquid can break down protein-based fibres regardless of colour. Avoid wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, angora, rayon/viscose, and linen. Hand-wash these with a wool-and-silk-specific detergent instead.
✓ Tips for mixed loads
✓ Always follow the garment care label
✓ Wash new dark items separately for the first few washes (most dye loss happens early)
✓ Use cool or warm water for best enzyme performance, hot water can set protein stains and reduce enzyme effectiveness
Around 60 washes per box. Sensitive Choice approved, Dermatest tested. Septic and grey water safe. Made in Victoria, Australia.
