Can I use Sensitive Laundry Sheets on wool or silk?Updated 5 days ago
TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Sheets are made for cotton and synthetic loads. Wash wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca, rayon or viscose and linen with a cleaner made for those fibres instead, because the enzymes can break down natural fibres. Cool, gentle cycle, low spin, dry flat.
Can I use Sensitive Laundry Sheets on wool or silk?
✓ What sheets are made for
Everyday cotton and synthetic loads. Towels, sheets, tees, activewear, kids clothes, work shirts and denim all wash normally with one Sensitive Laundry Sheet in the drum.
⚠ Fibres to wash with a wool cleaner
Wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca, rayon or viscose, and linen. The enzymes in the sheets can break down natural fibres, so use a cleaner made for those fabrics instead. If a care label says wool or delicates, treat it the same way.
What should I use on wool and silk instead?
✓ How to wash them well
Pick an enzyme-free detergent made for wool and delicates.
Wash cold or cool on a gentle cycle, or hand wash in the basin.
A mesh laundry bag helps knitwear hold its shape, and a low spin takes stress off the fibres.
Dry flat and away from heat. For anything unfamiliar, spot-test on an inside seam first.
What if I used a sheet by mistake?
Three steps
Rinse the garment well in cool water.
Rewash with an enzyme-free detergent made for wool, on a gentle cycle.
Skip heat and tumble drying until the fabric looks and feels normal again. One wash by mistake is usually fine, so just switch cleaners for that garment from here on.
Pre-measured detergent in a perforated paper-thin sheet. Tear, drop, done.
