Is Sensitive Laundry Liquid safe to use on silk or wool garments?Updated 7 hours ago

No. Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid contains protease, an enzyme that breaks down protein-based stains like sweat and food residues. Wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, and angora are all protein-based fibres themselves, so the same enzyme that cleans your everyday clothes can damage these fabrics over repeated washes. The formula is fine for cotton, polyester, nylon, elastane, lycra, spandex, and other synthetic and blended fabrics. For wool, silk, and other protein-based fabrics, use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or silk on a delicate cycle, or hand-wash. Always follow the garment care label.

Use a detergent specifically formulated for wool or silk. These products are pH-balanced for protein fibres and contain no enzymes that would break the fabric down. Look for products labelled "wool wash", "silk wash", or "delicate wash". For machine washing, use the wool or delicate cycle on cool water only, hot water shrinks and felts wool. For most wool and silk garments, hand-washing in cool water with a wool wash is the safest option. Lay flat to dry, never tumble dry. Always follow the garment care label.
