Wool wash: what do you use and where do you get it?

[pritchettzoo]

That's pretty much it...

Thanks!

I use Eucalan, and I got mine from...Angelika's Yarn Store (yarn-store.com), but back then, the Eucalan was $9.50. It's now $12.00 + shipping. Kelly's closet also has it for $12.95 with free shipping. I also have WOW wool wash (bar of soap), which I got from Granola Moms way back when. Or maybe it was from Natural Simplicity. I don't remember which one.

Mine is from Natural Simplicity, the liquid WOW, but I think they are going out of business... I have several Eucalan 2oz sample bottles, if you want them, they're yours! I am also intrigued by The Soap Deck's Wool Buddies. I traded dipes to that mama for some Diaper Buddies, which are laundry boosters and pail de-smellers, and I really like those. She stocks at Midday Faire.

I use Eucalan.. i can't remember where i got it.. some place that was having a sale. I think you can get it at Whole Foods too.
I have a small bottle that I got with my Pashmi diaper... I will mail that to you.. send me your addy again!

I LOVE the WOW liquid...from flicker n suds which then was natural simplicity...

I think I know one of the new owners...they should have it back open soon.

Anyway, the clean laundry and the orange vanilla scents are yummy! I couldn't stand the eucalan scent. Of course you can just wash it in a gentle soap and use lansinoh or another lanolin product to lanolize.

I'm sure some of the WAHM diaper shops have some wow bars or liquid in stock....somewhere...or if you want a small sample size, drop me a line...I have a ton!! LOL

I currently have several in rotation both bar and liquid. My least fave is doodle bottoms - the scent is rather obnoxiously strong (unless you really like perfumey smelling covers, then you'll love it, but I'm a light scent kinda girl!).

BUT - word is there might be a soon-to-be up and coming NEW WAHM with a few things in the works (including wool wash) that will be needing testers ;) Not able to say just when - depends on how much grief a certain "purple" baby gives her with the remainder of her pregancy, but stay tuned to the BBB homebiz group for details in the coming weeks ;) .........

Ooh, Lynne...you?! What is the scoop girlfriend?! Jonah's wool wants to know....LOL!

[mudder17]

Oh, that would be so cool! Hopefully Miss(?) Purple will settle down and give you the time you need. :) Incidentally, how do I access the BBB homebiz group? I was trying to find it the other day and couldn't figure it out.

How exciting! Sign me up as a tester. ;) But don't be offended if I have to buy something in the meantime. We're using wool for night and if I don't wash this sucker soon you may be able to smell it from wherever you live. :P

I'm so glad W.O.W. is going to reopen. I was looking for a bar/bottle of it, but the only scents left that I can find seem really not me. I got a soaker from RB last night, and all she had was some witchy kind (hey now, no comments from the peanut gallery--that was witchy, not bitchy! ;)) that was described as "earthy." Clean laundry and orange vanilla on the other hand sound delicious.

If you don't mind sharing your samples, I would love to try it. Thanks!

Anna, I just looked, and I have an Orange Chiffon Cake (LOL) sample size of the WOW liquid...if you want it, email me! ;) I haven't used any of it yet, but it smells yummy. I don't think it is very earthy or bit...I mean witchy!!

[calebsmama03]

LOL! Not offended at all :) May be a while still while we perfect a formula of our own. I've been kicking around the idea of a home biz for a while, had something in the works that fell through recently that really bummed me out, so my determination is renewed :) What will be in store? Bath and body care (all natural, herbal) catering to mamas and babies! Soaps, creams, salves, butters (esp a pregnant belly butter which I currently use!), etc and working on formulating wool wash. Don't want to post too much here and get in trouble so I'll post it to the homebiz when the time comes ;) In the meanwhile, if there are things in particular you LOVE (or hate) about the natural products you've tried, or your current wool wash, e-mail me!

Eileen, yes, purple is a girl :) I suppose I should update my siggie!! Just afraid to jinx it, ya know? I've only bought 2 (yes TWO!) pink outfits (tags still on!!) and one girlie dipe! Gotta hang out on layette more :)

Lynne, I totally hear you. Even though every U/S said that Kaya was a girl, I got all yellows and purples before she was born JUST IN CASE.

Thanks for the link. I've joined so I can read up on the news. :)
