Eucalan Woolwash

 

Eucalan Inc. is a family owned and operated business based in Ontario, Canada.  In 1989 they introduced their fine laundry care product Eucalan Woolwash to North America.  Eucalan is now available worldwide and in response to consumer requests, they are now proud to offer Eucalan Lavender as an alternative.

Another Canadian success story, Eucalan is an excellent cleanser for all your fine washables.  Use Eucalan to pre-wash your fabrics, and to keep your hand-sewn garments looking good wash after wash.  More Information on Eucalan is located at the bottom of this page.

  • recommended for all fine fabrics

  • saves time, water & money

  • is 100% biodegradable

  • may be used in automatic washer

  • requires no rinsing

  • is concentrated

  • the 250 ml/8.4 fl. oz. bottle will do about 45 hand washes

  • contains eucalyptus or lavender, natural moth and flea inhibitors

  • fine fibres such as silk, rayon, linen, cotton and polyester may be rinsed once if desired.  Squeeze excess water out; roll in towel and squeeze.  Depending upon the item, hang or lay flat to dry.  Silk should be pressed while very damp; rayon when nearly dry.

Eco-Friendly Laundry Tips

Did you know...

You can cut back water use by at least 50% using Eucalan.
The lanolin in Eucalan and the essential oils used to scent the product act as natural fabric softeners and help prevent static cling.
Automatic clothes washers account for about 20% of our total indoor water use

So try…

Running your washer and dryer at night to ease hydro and water burdens
Making it a full load or adjust the water level to the amount of laundry
Spot cleaning items that are not otherwise dirty
Pre-treating stains ASAP and let sit for 10 min. prior to laundering
Using warm or cold water rather than hot
Adding a few drops of Eucalan instead of a conditioner/softener to the rinse water - this avoids build-up that occurs with other fabric softeners (this works especially good on bath towels/bedding - Lavender is the best - it calms and induces sound sleep)
Hanging or laying clothes flat to dry
Hand washing when you only have a few items - it's easy using Eucalan
Doing back-to-back loads in the dryer to take advantage of the fact that the dryer is already hot
Cleaning dryer vents and lint traps regularly
Use “wet-cleaners” rather than dry cleaners for specialty items and pressing
