How To Make Your Own Wool Wash at Home

If you are washing something delicate or fluffy, wool wash is the go.  

Even if its not habitually worn by most Australian’s except in the southern states as it gets cold and snows, we still find ourselves buying wool fabrics for our beddings and others.  It could be the most delicate to wear and its maintenance could break your pockets with all the dry cleaning it needs. To have your money’s worth means not wearing them at all to avoid stains or nasty stench.
