Bosisto’s Wool Wash Recipe
The following recipe is excellent for soft and fluffy woollens.
Pure Soap Flakes ½ packet (300g)
Methylated Spirits 1 cup (200mL)
Bosisto's Eucalyptus Oil 1 small bottle (50mL)
Mix methylated spirits with soap flakes. Add Bosisto’s Oil
and stir. Store in wide necked screw capped jar. Use one tablespoon
per mixture per garment. Dissolve in a small quantity of hot water
then pour into lukewarm wash water. Hand or machine wash on wool
cycle. No need to rinse unless white garments are being stored for
a long period - rinsing reduces the risk of yellowing. Squeeze and
roll in towel to remove excess water. Keep garments in shape
while drying out of direct sunlight.

Pre-Wash, Clothes Spot & Stain Remover
Remove oil soluble grease and grass marks, spots and stains from
