F.A.Q.'s
Can it also be used to clean wool or technical fabrics?
Yes. This Wilderness Wash is a non-detergent formula that won't harm wool or degrade water-resistant technical fabrics / DWR finishes. Just make sure to rinse well after washing.
Can the soap be used as detergent in a washing machine?
Both products were primarily designed for hand-wash use in a sink - and a sink full of water is a maximum of about two gallons. In a sink/washbasin, you would therefore a capful (10ml) of the liquid soap.
Compared to a 1-2 gallon sink, a top-loader washing machine uses about 25 gallons of water for the wash cycle. So - in theory you’d need to use maybe a quarter to a fifth of an 100ml / 3.3oz bottle of liquid soap or around twenty leaves of Pocket soap. In practice however, almost all commercial launderette machines (and some home top-loaders) have enough laundry ‘soap’ residue in them that it’s barely necessary to add any new ‘soap’ to them to wash a load of clothes.
As a result, in a laundromat or a domestic washing machine, a reasonable-sized squeeze (maybe 1/10 of a bottle) would probably be adequate. The soap itself will work fine in the washing machine.
Can this soap be used in lakes and streams?
No. While this wash is biodegradable and able to break down through biological action and UV, it will harm aquatic life if used directly in streams, ponds, and lakes. Practice Leave No Trace and dispose of waste water 200ft / 70m from any water source.
