Perwoll for Wool & Delicates vs Eucalan No Rinse Delicate Wash

Perwoll is a suitable detergent for both machine and hand washing delicate fabrics such as wool, linen, silk, cashmere, down feathers, cotton, and viscose. And while it's extra gentle on such fabrics, that doesn't mean it's any less tough on deep set stains.

Perwoll comes in an economical size bottle with a capacity of 1.5 L. An average washload requires a mere capful of detergent, while a single hand-wash would use considerably less. This means that you should get at the very least 16 machine washes out of this product and twice as many hand-washes. In terms of cost, then, that puts each machine wash at a cost of just over $1.

Perwoll contains bamboo extract as well as care balsam that seeps through the fibers of your garments to help keep them as soft and as supple as when you first bought them. Furthermore, it doesn't contain enzymes, which have been known to wear away the proteins of wool and silk fabrics in particular.

The bamboo extract of Perwoll gives it a subtle and adequately refreshing fragrance without being overpowering nor overly perfume-y like many of its competitors.

Eucalan is nontoxic and free from harsh chemicals such as phosphate. Therefore, not only is it gentle on your clothing but also on your skin, which is good news for those who may suffer from skin sensitivity. Also, the detergent's container is biodegradable and completely recyclable.

You simply need to add some Euculan to water, in which you then allow your garment(s) to soak for a few minutes. And once adequately soaked, the garment should be lain out flat to dry, with no rinsing required. In this sense, use of Eucalan means less handling of your garments and thus less likelihood of wear and tear. This is particularly favorable in the case of knit garments which don't respond well to extensive handling.

Eucalan is enriched with lanolin, a greasy substance naturally found on sheep wool that acts as a form of waterproof. Detergents that contain lanolin help to soften the fibers of woolen fabrics and reduce static-ness, while at the same time strengthening them against everyday wear and tear.

Eucalan is available in 5 ml packets that cost $0.85 each and can be used for single-garment washes. The product can therefore be easily transported, even in carry-on luggage for short trips.

Eucalan is available in five different scents: jasmine, lavender, grapefruit, eucalyptus, and unscented. So whether you prefer your garments to be scented or not, this product can meet your needs.
