Usage
✓ What is Laundry Wash?
Laundry Wash is a biotechnological detergent that cleans effectively and deeply at temperatures as low as 30-40 degrees Celsius.
It tackles not only visible dirt but also what causes odors in textiles. It breaks down organic residues in the fibers, which means clothes actually become clean, not just feel clean.
✓ What differentiates Laundry Wash from regular detergent?
Regular detergents focus on dissolving dirt and creating a "clean feel", often with fragrance.
Laundry Wash is developed to also remove what remains in the fibres and causes recurring odours. This keeps garments fresh for longer, even after you've worn them again.
Cleaning at low temperatures is gentle on textile fibres, helping them last longer and shed fewer fibres in the wash. We use biotechnology, where bacteria act as small enzyme factories that break down organic residues in the textile.
This means that cleaning occurs deeper in the fibres, not just on the surface.
✓ Laundry Does it really wash away odors?
Yes. Laundry Wash breaks down the cause of the odor instead of masking it.
This means that the odor won't quickly return, which is common otherwise – especially in synthetic materials and activewear.
✓ How do I dose Laundry Wash?
You usually need less than you think.
Use the enclosed measuring spoon and dose approximately one spoon per machine wash, or 1:200 for hand wash.
Start with a low dose and increase as needed depending on the degree of soiling and water hardness.
✓ Does Laundry Wash work even at low temperatures?
Yes. Laundry Wash is effective at temperatures as low as 30–40 degrees.
This does two things:
– Protects materials (less wear and tear, longer lifespan)
– Reduces microplastic emissions, especially from synthetic garments which release more at higher temperatures.
So you get better results with less impact.
✓ Do I need to use high temperature to remove odor?
No. That's a common misconception.
The important thing is not the temperature itself, but that what causes the smell is actually broken down, which Laundry Wash does even at lower temperatures.
✓ Won't the bacteria just wash off?
Some are rinsed away, just like everything else in the wash.
But what's important is what happens during the wash cycle itself. That's when the bacteria's enzymes are activated and break down organic residues (like sweat and grease) in the fibers – that's where the cleaning happens.
Furthermore, they exist in spore form, meaning some can remain in the textile and contribute to a continued effect over time.
Simply put: it's not about "filling the garment with bacteria," but about breaking down what causes odor, deeply.
✓ When should I choose Laundry Wash?
When you notice that clothes are not really clean and you actually need to wash them.
When stains and odors remain in garments despite spraying with Textile Spray.
When you want to wash delicate materials and get them clean at low temperatures.
✓ Why is Laundry Wash better than regular detergent?
The problem is often not that the garment has not been washed, but that it is not clean enough deep in the fibres.
Standard detergents are divided by material and category – wool detergent, delicate wash, sports wash, denim wash, for colours and for whites – but do not always solve what causes odours.
Laundry Wash works for your entire wardrobe – from wool to activewear – and breaks down what actually causes odours. You avoid having several different detergents, and get both gentle care and effective cleaning in one.
Material
✓ Why do workout clothes and synthetic garments smell more – and are harder to clean?
Synthetic materials like polyester and elastane behave differently from natural fibers such as cotton.
Simply put: Cotton is more “open” and more easily releases dirt and odor during washing.
Synthetics have a denser, more plastic-like structure where grease, sweat, and bacteria can get trapped in tiny “pockets” within the fibers. This means odor often lingers, even after washing.
✓ How does Laundry Wash remove odors from sportswear and synthetic garments?
When washing, the formula helps to:
– dissolve and release organic residues (sweat, grease) trapped in synthetic fibers – and penetrate microscopic structures where odors otherwise linger
– break down what causes odor, instead of just rinsing or masking.
The result is that the garment is actually cleaned deep within the fibers, which is why the odor doesn't quickly return.
✓ What materials does Laundry Wash work on?
The formula has a neutral pH and therefore also works on delicate materials such as wool, cashmere, silk, down and sportswear.
Also suitable for more elegant materials such as silk, embroidery, feathers and sequins. The formula does not contain the enzymes that can damage silk or wool.
✓ Does Laundry Wash work on workout clothes and synthetics?
Yes, that's where you'll notice the biggest difference.
Synthetic fibers bind odors and don't always release them in regular washes.
Laundry Wash breaks down residues in the fibers, making garments smell less and feel fresh longer.
✓ Can I use Laundry Wash on all materials – even wool?
Yes, Laundry Wash works for all materials, including wool.
The difference compared to classic wool detergents is that these often contain lanolin (a re-greasing agent).
Laundry Wash does not contain lanolin, but has a gentle pH that works well for everyday wool care.
If you wish to re-grease the wool fiber, you can sometimes supplement with a specific wool detergent, but for daily use, Laundry Wash works perfectly.
✓ Does Laundry Wash contain enzymes – and can it still be used on wool and silk?
Yes, Laundry Wash contains enzymes and can be used on all materials, including wool and silk.
The difference lies in which enzymes are used. Some detergents contain protease, an enzyme that breaks down proteins and can therefore damage delicate materials such as wool and silk (which are protein-based fibers).
Laundry Wash instead uses enzymes that break down fat and organic residues (e.g., lipase), without attacking the fiber itself.
Content & Sustainability
✓ Is Laundry Wash scented?
Yes, a light scent, but it is not the main function.
The focus is on removing odors, not masking them.
✓ What does Laundry Wash contain?
✓ How long is the shelf life of Laundry Wash?
Opened bottle is durable for 2 years. Store like other cleaning products. Normal room temperature, not in direct sunlight.
✓ Is Laundry Wash eco-friendly?
✓ How does Laundry Wash fit into the Low Wash philosophy of reducing laundry?
Laundry Wash is for when you do wash.
Textile Spray is for the time in between.
Together, they create a system where you wash less often, but better when you do.
