IT IS! We are THRILLED with our own brand of wool and silk detergent, which we have affectionately named: Lanalicious. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe had been searching for a long time for a detergent that is not only purely natural, without all the chemical junk, but that also does exactly what you expect from a wool detergent. Namely, cleaning your dearest beloved woolies and giving them an ultimate pampering moment... Lanalicious does all of that!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLanalicious is a new brand, launched for and by Natur-el. \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have known or followed us for a while, you know that we emphasize the proper washing of your clothes like no other. Your woolies need extra love in addition to a bit of care. That includes the perfect detergent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLanalicious contains lanolin, and we think that is the most important thing.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy? You wouldn't polish your leather shoes with just water, would you? That wouldn't make any sense at all. Our untreated organic wool clothing still contains wool fat, i.e., lanolin, which ensures that your woolies remain antibacterial, do not hold odors, and remain soft and supple. If you were to wash your wool only with a detergent containing degreasers (like most detergents), you would strip this amazing layer from your wool and, along with it, the rich properties that the wool possesses! That’s a shame, right? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith Lanalicious, you give your woolies exactly what they need: so that, in return, they can give you exactly what YOU need.

Do you want fragrance? Then add a few drops of essential oil of your choice to your wash. Not everyone likes fragrances, but everyone likes woolies! The bottle comes with a detailed description of how to (and not to) use the detergent. This detergent is not vegan, not tested on animals but it is tested on woolies, and contains lanolin and lactic acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/MGTNuZCUOMo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWatch our video here on how to wash our woolies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, every bottle contains vitamin L....

Always choose the wool wash program, maximum 30 degrees, and low spin speed.

If you still want fragrance, add a few drops of essential oil to your wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor which materials is the Lanalicious detergent with lanolin suitable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecially developed for animal protein fibers: wool, alpaca, cashmere, mohair, silk, and wool-silk blends. For cotton\/linen and ecovero\/tencel fabrics, we recommend a different detergent. On these fabrics, Lanalicious can cause greasy stains because these fabrics cannot absorb the wool fat (lanolin).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Lanalicious vegan and animal-friendly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot vegan due to the lanolin (wool fat). The product is not tested on animals, and is therefore completely animal-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I also wash superwash wool with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you can, but it is not necessary. Lanalicious is especially ideal and specifically developed for untreated, organic wool because the lanolin nourishes and preserves the natural fat layer: such as the woolies you can buy from us. We do NOT sell superwash wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I store the bottle and are there safety instructions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore at room temperature, dry, and dark. Keep out of reach of children. In case of eye contact, rinse with water for a few minutes, remove contact lenses, and continue rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will a 500 ml bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGuideline: approximately 25 machine washes at 20 ml or about 33 hand washes at 15 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ Structured Data --\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"945\"\u003eLANALICIOUS wool \u0026amp; silk detergent – the satisfyer for your woolies!\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you know what I always say in the shop? Your woolies don't deserve an ordinary wash; they deserve a pampering moment. And that is exactly why we developed our own detergent: \u003cstrong\u003eLanalicious\u003c\/strong\u003e. Our latest pride and joy, completely pure, organic, and packed with love – literally in every drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you want this detergent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou want your favorite wool sweater or soft silk top to stay beautiful longer, don't you? Lanalicious is specially made to not only clean wool and silk, but also to care for them. With \u003cstrong\u003elanolin\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elactic acids\u003c\/strong\u003e, this detergent nourishes your clothing in a natural way, without fragrances or aggressive junk. Your clothing remains soft, supple, and strong – just as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little bit is enough: 15 ml for a hand wash or 20 ml for 2.5 kilos of dry laundry. Always wash on the wool wash program, max 30 degrees, low spin speed. And do you want a hint of fragrance after all? Then add a few drops of essential oil to the wash. It's as simple as that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe secret of lanolin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLanalicious contains lanolin – and that is a gamechanger. After all, you don't polish your leather shoes with just water, do you? That makes no sense. Untreated organic wool still contains wool fat (lanolin), and that fat layer ensures that wool is antibacterial, does not hold onto odors, and stays wonderfully soft. Ordinary detergents with degreasers strip that layer off, and then you lose all the benefits of wool. A shame, right? With Lanalicious, you give your clothing exactly what it needs – so that it gives you back what you need: warmth, comfort, and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePersonal advice \u0026amp; shop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you unsure how to best wash your most beautiful woolies?

You slide the mushroom into the sock and place the rounded top exactly under the hole. This provides a firm surface and helps prevent you from accidentally sewing the front and back of the sock together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape looks a bit like a mushroom.

As long as the hole is closed and your toes stay inside, you've already come a long way.

This allows you to tension the knit evenly and see clearly where stitches are missing. The mushroom also helps prevent the sock from shifting or folding over while repairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wooden darning mushroom is especially useful for holes and worn spots on rounded areas, such as the heel, the ball of the foot, the toes, and the elbows of a sweater.

Therefore, the wood grain, color, and texture may vary slightly per item. This is not a production defect, but rather what gives each wooden darning mushroom its own unique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRepairing is more sustainable than replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA small hole doesn't mean a good pair of wool socks has reached the end of its life. If you catch it in time, you can often perfectly repair worn spots and holes. By doing so, you extend the lifespan of your socks and prevent good wool from being thrown away unnecessarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo, check your wool socks occasionally at the heels and toes. Is the fabric becoming thin? Reinforce the spot with darning wool.

Thanks to the wide, rounded top, it is suitable for repairing socks and other knitwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I only use the darning mushroom for wool socks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. You can also use it for cotton socks, sweaters, sleeves, hats, and other knitted garments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs every wooden darning mushroom exactly the same?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape and size are similar, but wood is a natural product. The wood grain and small color differences may therefore vary per item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I also repair a thin spot before a hole develops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, absolutely! By reinforcing a thin spot with darning wool in time, you can often prevent a larger hole from forming later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat darning wool do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/search?q=stopwol\"\u003edarning wool\u003c\/a\u003e that matches your sock in color and thickness. For an inconspicuous repair, use a similar color.
