Soak Wash - Scentless 12 oz Laundry Detergent

I purchased this item because it was recommended by the NY Times Wirecutter. They are the first place I go for product recommendations, and I trust them. When they recommended this product, I was sold. When I found out I didn't have to rise after using this, SOLD! This product is so lovely. These 12oz have lasted me a long time. I only use it for delicates and fabrics that need particular care, like a beautiful wool sweater I got in Iceland. If anything happened to it, I would cry, so this is my go-to care for it. The scents of this wash are light and lovely. They are not perfume-strong - more like an essence so your clothing smells clean without smelling like its been through the wash, if that makes sense. I have sensitive skin, and I don't want to use a lot of dyes or perfumes right next to my skin. For more stubborn grime, or clothing that needed more attention, I would let it soak overnight or do multiple soaks. I'd swish the clothes around every 20 minutes or so. When the water looked dirty, I'd drain it out and start over. I needed to do this on a trip where I really needed to clean some socks that weren't coming clean. I washed with shampoo in the shower (no washing machine available). That wasn't enough, so I followed up with Soak, and that really stepped up the cleaning. I'm not sure what the magic was, but the overnight soak was amazing. And, no, nothing is left over. You really don't need to rinse it out. You just gently wring out the excess water then hang to dry. That's it! I didn't notice a film on my clothes or anything else. They looked, smelled, and felt so clean. I always pack a travel size now. I have to make my own bottle, but it's worth it. I can wash my undergarments in the sink and let them dry while traveling, which cuts down on how many I need to bring, but I always have a fresh pair. I'm also using something specifically designed to actually wash them. Shampoo is nice, but it's still shampoo.

I have really enjoyed this detergent. I actually use it for blocking my knit projects, which are usually wool, cotton, alpaca or silk. Basically delicate fibers I cannot throw in the wash. This is great for that. I also use it for my bras (1 too many have been ruined by the washing machine). I got the celebration scent and it is light and lovely. It lingers after drying but isn't too overpowering, and I have a very sensitive nose. It also doesn't leave garments "crusty" or stiff or with a film on it. It is truly no rinse. I love!! A little goes such a long way, but I will be repurchasing when I finish this bottle.

I love how gentle this is, it’s great for handwashing my delicates. I think it’s quite a simple product to use because you can use it as a soak. It’s a bit expensive, but totally worth it if you’ve got a lot of delicates. The scent isn’t super strong, which I appreciate because I’m a bit sensitive. I would totally recommend this product :)

Love this stuff. I tend to have to handwash things,as I can't always afford to do laundry more than once a month. Just a small amount is all it takes to get things clean. Also leaves items soft without fabric softener. Smells great. With being disabled, handwashing is usually a major chore. With not having to do a rinse or anything extra; it's just so much better. Worth the cost. First bottle lasted over a year with mainly doing small items.

Soak itself is awesome. I've been using the pineapple for years and just bought the mint. A no-rinse detergent is GENIUS and a time-saver. I've used this in both a washer tubing in my mini portable washing machine to great results. You don't need a ton, so a bottle goes a long way (though a bottle has gone from $12 to nearly $20 since 2021). Soak has only a hint of scent, though, which is awesome for my sensitive nose. But if you're a person who needs everything to be perfumed to hell, this isn't for you. That said, if you're buying this from Dainty Baby, beware because the seller needs to be more conscientious about packaging items for shipping. Like other people, my product arrived without being bagged and with the lid partially unscrewed. That meant liquid detergent leaked onto other items in my box. I was REALLY lucky that other sellers wrapped my purchased clothing in sealed plastic bags; otherwise, this seller would have ruined them. I hope Soak takes note because experiences with bad seller packaging taint the brand, even if the manufacturer had nothing to do with it.

The fig scent is lovely, very delicate and not overpowering. I handwashed a silk robe and long dress by following the instructions. I soaked each item separately for 15mins in lukewarm water, then used a colander to drain and gently press excess water out. Rolled them in a towel to dry a little further and then laid them flat to dry completely. Both items came out smelling and feeling fresh and clean. It was my first time washing silk, so I was a lil nervous that I would damage it, but both pieces are good as new. I've also used this wash on a silky polyester dress and a layered tulle-ish polyester dress that both said handwash. I used the same process as for silk and they both turned out fine. I had sweat pretty heavily in both dresses and they came out smelling fresh. Plus it only takes a teaspoon per wash so the bottle will last a long time. Highly recommend!

This cleans hand wash items very well and it’s no rinse. It comes in a variety of fragrances or non.

This is fantastic for cleaning delicate clothing. It leaves your clothes soft with hanging and air drying. I highly recommend it.

Ho letto di questo prodotto sul blog di Ruth Reichl, poiché è stato altamente raccomandato da lei. Ho dovuto provarlo per me stesso e sono contento di averlo fatto! Un po '(un cucchiaio) a un litro di acqua fa molto, molto in termini di potere pulente e profumo delicato. Anche il venditore ha imballato molto bene l'articolo, quindi è arrivato senza perdite. Molto apprezzato!

parfait pour les tricots

Idéale pour les linges délicats

This is my go to product for lingerie and hand knits. It’s so easy to use and lasts for ages as you use such a tiny amount. Beautiful fragrances too. Just add to warm water let soak for 15mins and your done, no need to rinse.

Parfait: il suffit de laisser tremper et pas besoin de rinçage: idéal pour bloquer un ouvrage ! Je m’en sers aussi pour les canapés, les tapis , les paillassons et les matelas, j’en suis très satisfaite
