Has anyone used this product on items other than wool / cashmere? How did it turn out?

I have not! It brings the softest feel ever, to all our wool and cashmere sweaters, amazing, I've often wondered what my regular clothes would be like if I were to substitute that for the Laundress Darks I use for normal machine washing, probably the same softness!

I have. But just as important as the detergent is of course how the garment is handeled... they came out beautifully submerged in ice cold water, rinsed, reshaped and rolled in towles to remove excess water, draped over a rack to complete the drying. I have a front loaded which has a very safe, gentle hand wash mode; I have done them both ways with great success using this product.

Yes. But I only use this lanolin to lanolize my wool covers, so it really doesn't matter much to me, the tackiness goes away after letting it dry for several days, so it's not a problem for me.

I don't think I would. It's an essential oil, so I think it may leave behind oil type spots on your clothing. When I use it on the actual Woolzies Dryer Balls, I put 3 or 4 drops, but then I let it 'soak' in for a day or so. It does read that you can easily dilute it with water, but I have only used it on the dryer balls. I love the way it smells.

Not sure what type of projects you plan, but I use it for felting animals and figures. It is easy to work with, and felts much better than some of the other wool I have.

I have only used the product on 100% cotton. Probably try a scrap of the material and see if it holds. :o)

Absolutely not.... u can use it for the most delicate items. I use it specifically for my cashmere sweaters. (Spread. Flat to dry) I recommend it 100%.

I'm not sure. I've been told that moths are not attracted to silk. I can't imagine the Wool & Cashmere Shampoo would damage your delicates. I use Dreft the liquid baby detergent on many of my silk dry cleanables. However, I have noticed there is a difference in the appearance after hand washing. For instance, my black silk is noticeably lighter in color, dull & faded. I have used Wool & Cashmere Shampoo on my undergarments and they've come out fine every time. I'm sorry I do not have a clear answer. I hope this helps.

I haven't tried on wool. Since the material is a little damp, I would be concerned with colorfastness. Perhaps a spot check first.

I have never used it for that, I used on towels and fleece.I don't LOVE it on fleece but you can embroidery on it and not see the stabilizer on back of blankets.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

I just tried it on my hair, dark brown, it does show up good. Takes a little while to dry and doesn't seem to stiffen. I think it's worth trying.

I have not....but I wouldn't try it unless you are willing to have it be ruined. Ever wash a wool sweater in the machine? The combination of water and friction causes the wool to "felt," which makes it shrink and get dense. Since the wool filling is inside a cotton cover, it seems that it would get enough friction to felt, and it's not like you can comb it out. You might be left with a lots-o-lumps comforter. And since the cover is 100% cotton that could shrink too. Also, the wool would soak up so much water and it could become so heavy it might damage your machine, or the water may never spin out and you could be left with a moldy mess. If you just want to freshen it up, hang it in the sun (if you are in an area that has sun this time of year!) or throw it in the dryer on extra low (if you have it) or fluff, and add a sachet of lavender, or a rag that has your favorite essential oils dripped on it. Try to avoid putting a dryer sheet in there, dryer sheets contain chemicals that can coat the fibers. If you had a spill or something, treat it like you would carpet with spot treating and a mild soap. Try to dab instead of scrubbing. Or look for a "green" dry cleaner such as Blue Sky. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer, but my experience with washing machine disasters has taught me caution!

Yes! This product really works. I have one in the basket right beside my chair at all times. It works quite well on everything. I would not exert a lot of pressure on delicate fabrics like cashmere. I have a long haired white and fawn cat. I wait until I'm ready to leave before dressing but the few hairs that I do pick up are picked up with the 3M Pet hair Remover. I had quite a search before I found refills available on this site.

I have found this to work pretty well on furniture, not so well on clothes. Mostly I use it to remove cat fur from our couch and chair, and it does a pretty good job with that. I have not found it to be effective for normal lint on clothes. I don't have any wool coats to test on, so sorry I can't be more specific.

It really depends on the carpet fiber, I'm assuming a synthetic. I had great results on polyester clothing, which bodes well. As inexpensive as the product is, I'd suggest trying it on a few carpet pieces/yarn ends. I'm a weaver, so I try lots of different dyes and dye removers. I think it's worth a try. Sue

I have did not had a lot of success with it. I use heavier fabrics such as burlap, canvas & terry cloth. Have not used on lighter fabrics so not real sure of results on that type of fabric. I resorted to slowing down & keeping my scissors sharp!
