Outback Gold Wool Wash, 16 oz

After trying to figure out why I kept smelling peepee smell in my house and couldn't figure out where......I step on a wet spot on my favorite rug....I smell it...I turn it over...and there it was....multiple urine spots left by my kitten who apparently loves this rug as much as I do. I was upset to say the least! Not only is this rug a unique color..it is expensive...I loved it! I was upset and put it in then garage because I couldn't bare to throw it out although I knew I had to take it from the house. I left it in the garage a couple days and then thought ...well, I wander if I could some how clean it? I reached on Amazon for products and came across this one, I ordered stand its promptly arrived. After reading others use of this product I decided washing it in my bathtub was the best choice. I filled my tub half full with cool water and approximately 3oz of the product, it bubbles a bit like a bubble bath would. I liked the smell. Kinda clean and woodsy. I placed the rug in the solution and pushed to around to soak it down under the water. I let it soak 3 hours, and wow, a lot of dirt in the water! After I finished the soak and I did movie around and squish it in the solution several times, I drained the dirty tub water and rinsed the rug with cool clean water the best I could as it is heavy when wet! I pushed the water out the best I could and placed the rug outside on 2 lawn chairs to dry. It took 2 days as it is 100 degrees here in California lol...I brought it in the house and used a special wool rug brush that I had also purchased when I bough this product . It turned out beautiful! as you can see by the picture. I smells great! No trac e of urine...it saved my rug! best $16 spent! I do recommend a rug brush as when it dries the hair is super curly, which looks neat too.....I left a little bit or curl just cause....thanks for saving my rug!

5/5 Stars!Best wool-cleaner/detergent - Gentle on clothing, great results, smells very nice - not chemically or overly floral which I feel is the standard. Also - this is an incredible concentrate formula: 1/2 a cap and you are good for a few runs

Treats our clothes well. Feels comfy for hand wash, too. Very nice, fresh wool smell, no perfumes.

Leaves my sweaters clean, fluffy & with a delightful light scent.

The media could not be loaded. I wish I had before pictures, this thing it was disgusting. It had matted fur that we couldn’t even come out, it had oil, it had food, it was just gross.We regularly took it out and beat it, or shook it out, and we regularly brushed it but none of that got it clean the way it needed to be clean.I did a few searches trying to find something to clean it before and could never find anything. It’s supposed to be dry cleaned, but it would be over $100 because it’s for sheepskins instead of just one. Thing was, that’s how much it cost me to buy it in the first place. Didn’t make sense to dry clean it.I’d almost given up and just tossed it when I finally came across this shampoo conditioner for it. The first bottle I bought came with the seal busted open and had leaked all over the bag, but the company and Amazon refunded me so I can get a new one.I did two washes since it was so gross and I am so happy I did. It seems to have worked really well, it’s very clean. I don’t see any of the dirt broil or anything from before, my only complaint is that the skin on the bottom side is now a bit dry, and the wool is not as fluffy as it was when I first purchased it. But that could be the way that I washed it, I might’ve done something wrong.Otherwise it is much softer and cleaner than it was before I washed it. I will definitely be using this again and definitely recommend.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Nice product and smell

very well-crafted product, did the job for me beautify

This soap completely revitalized a 4x6 foot flokati rug my dad picked up overseas sometime in the 1970's. Long story short this rug is one of my prized possessions since both of my parents have passed.I grew up with this rug always in the living room. My mom would machine wash it at the laundromat in a big machine, and when I took it over I did the same using a powdered oxi type detergent because I thought that was what would maintain its whiteness the best, but it was always just meh. And of course the oxi did nothing for the fiber (wool) itself. The rug was still in good shape, I just wasn't super impressed with its whiteness or softness over the years.Fast forward to when we finally have good wool soaps, and I tried this soap after fostering a litter of 6 kittens who romped and slept on this rug (flokatis are tough). I took it to the big machine as per usual, and used about 2 oz in the prewash cycle, then another 2 oz in the wash cycle (unfortunately there was no pre-soak cycle). I took it home to air dry over a couple of chairs outside, and brushed it with a pet brush while it was drying.I still have plenty of soap left after washing a large and thick rug and will be able to use it at least one more time when the time comes. Since a rinse cycle isn't technically necessary, I wasn't worried about using too much - if it didn't all rinse off then that's even better.It's never been whiter, cleaner, or softer than it is now. To me this soap was well worth the money and will last multiple washes per bottle.
