Is Sensitive Laundry Liquid safe to use on silk or wool garments?Updated 8 days ago
TL;DR: No. Sensitive Laundry Liquid is not recommended for protein-based fibres such as wool or silk.
Why not?
Sensitive Laundry Liquid contains an advanced enzyme blend, including protease. Protease works by breaking down protein-based stains like sweat and food, which makes it highly effective on everyday laundry.
However, wool and silk are protein-based fibres. Because of this, enzyme detergents designed to break down protein stains may not be suitable for these fabrics.
What should I use instead?
- Use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or silk
- Always follow the garment care label
- When in doubt, choose a dedicated delicate or wool wash cycle
What fabrics is it suitable for?
Sensitive Laundry Liquid is ideal for most everyday fabrics including:
- Cotton
- Linen
- Synthetics
- Blends
- Sportswear (non-protein based fibres)
Its enzyme system also includes cellulase, which helps maintain softness and reduce pilling on plant-based fibres like cotton.
