Reviews
Good soap
"Are you a perfume company or a laundry soap company? It's been awhile since i visited this site - it looks like it's more about perfume than cleaning products. I really like your Stain Solution. How about FRAGRANCE FREE versions of your products?"
Perfect way to care for more delicate pieces.
"The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo is an essential part of how I care for my nicer sweaters, delicate knits, and special cold-weather pieces. I appreciate that it makes caring for wool and cashmere feel simple instead of intimidating. It cleans beautifully while still feeling gentle, and it leaves my pieces feeling soft, fresh, and well cared for. I love knowing I can refresh the garments I want to preserve without over-washing them or sending everything out for cleaning. The scent is clean, cozy, and elevated without being overpowering. It gives my sweaters and knits that quietly luxurious freshness, like they have been thoughtfully cared for rather than heavily perfumed. It also makes the process of laundering delicate pieces feel more intentional and special. The Wool & Cashmere Shampoo has become one of those products that helps me take better care of the pieces I love most. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants their wool, cashmere, and delicate knits to feel clean, soft, and beautifully maintained."
Smells great!
"Love the lasting smell of this detergent. I mix it with my free + clear and it still is potent!"
Cashmere saver
"Very nice detergent and works great for all my delicates and cashmere. Nice smell too."
Great product!
"I use this on almost all my wool and cashmere sweaters, dresses and scarves. About to do a deep dive to make sure these treasured items stay fresh in the summer months. Follow their instructions. I use mesh bags for my sweaters— some of which are Talbot’s classic cashmere v necks I inherited from my mother. I washed a Brooks Brothers wool and silk lined dress and it came out beautifully. Also my classic BB cashmere cowel necked dress. The product is genius. All of these things would have been dipped in chemicals at a dry cleaner. I just need to find a good dry cleaner who will take care of my wool coats. Thank you to the creators of this product at The Launderess."
Excellent!
"I have nothing but positive things to say. This detergent has brought new life to my sweaters."
Great for your delicate fabrics
"I really like the cedar smell. I feel like it helps deter any insects from wanting to go near your wool or cashmere often times I’ll use this for a hole load when I’m washing my delicate stuff and bags with other cotton materials."
just great
"Love love love this stuff. I have been using it for years and my cashmere sweaters are SO soft! I have a bunch of cashmere travel wraps and occasionally loan one to a house guest and they always ask the brand of the wrap. Not the wrap, it's the laundress that makes them so soft and comfortable. I think it is a healthier way to clean your clothes as well."
Performs well, but. . .
"So far, I've hand laundered three cashmere sweaters in the Wool & Cashmere Shampoo. The shampoo gave a gentle was and the sweaters felt soft afterwards. I'm glad I bought the measuring cup or I might have added too much. My only complaint - I expected a slight cedar smell to aid in warding off moths, but the shampoo does not smell like cedar (even though that's the scent I bought)."
Q&A
- Cotton sweaters ok?
- Hi Jan - Thank you for reaching out! The Wool & Cashmere Shampoo is a gentle, enzyme-free formula and can be used on cotton. It's great for washing finer cottons such as Pima and Egyptian Cotton. However, if your cotton sweater needs a deeper clean from time to time, it's ok to use an enzyme-based detergent, such as our Signature Detergent.
- My concerns with this product is about its effectiveness to cleanse superficial stains and elimante sweat bacteria. It’s antibacterial?
- Thanks for your question! Our Wool & Cashmere Shampoo is made with a proprietary formula designed specifically for wool, cashmere, and knits. It effectively lifts stains, everyday soils, and odor-causing buildup while protecting the delicate fibers. We avoid antibacterial additives because the harsh chemicals often used can damage wool, weakening fibers and diminishing natural benefits like softness, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulation. Our formula keeps your knits clean, fresh, and long-lasting without compromise.
- The Wool and Cashmere Shampoo eliminates sweat bacteria and bad odor? Some people say it doesn’t because formula changed, is weak and just masks the bad odor. Do you know Revolve.com sell your products? It’s an authorized seller? Thank you
- Our enzyme-free Wool & Cashmere Shampoo was specially formulated with biobased ingredients and gentle surfactants for a beautiful clean on knits like wool, cashmere, and merino. This formula specifically is 2x concentrated for more value per wash!
- Hi!!! this product eliminates sweat bacterias and bad odor? Some people say it doesn’t because ingredients in the formula are weak to do all that and masks the bad odor instead eliminate it. Also I want to know if Revolve.com is an authorized retailer of your products?
- Thank you for your question! This product is specifically designed to gently cleanse wool, cashmere and other knit fibers with an enzyme-free formula that protects the integrity of the material. Fragranced with a light cedar scent, not meant to mask, but to elevate the ritual of washing. You can shop our products at Revolve as well!
