Soft, clean, fragrant cashmereApr 05, 2008
By S. Johnson
This is a truly great product. I have had a couple of wool sweaters come back from the dry cleaner rough and stiff, albeit clean. It is really true that the cleaning solution removes the natural oils that keep your wool soft. When I needed to clean a cashmere sweater, I purchased The Laundress Cashmere Shampoo. My sweater came out clean, soft and smelling wonderful (if you like the scent of cedar). You do have to have patience to swish your sweater in a tub, rinse and wrap in a towel, then lay flat. You will be rewarded a thousand times over, though. My sweaters actually seemed to be in better condition than when they went into the tub. If you have a sweater you love, or one that is expensive, use this!

The only thing I miss about getting my sweaters dry cleaned is the free hangersJan 29, 2011
By Ella Hill
I switched after yet another problem with Woolite, so for those of you wondering what the difference is between this and Woolite (other than price): Sweaters haven't shrunk or faded with this, while they did sometimes with Woolite. This also smells better and makes your sweaters softer (something about Woolite being too alkeline and stripping away the lanolin if I'm remembering my chemistry correctly). And it's better for the environment and all that jazz.
Due to my history of sweater destruction, I was initially unwilling to take any chances washing a $200 cashmere sweater myself, despite all the good reviews. So I worked my way up to the cashmere. After a few wool sweaters and some socks, I finally washed my favorite sweater and it turned out great. Better than the cleaners, actually, because it was soft and not awkwardly stiff.
Since falling in love with Laundress products (I now have their delicates wash and stain remover, too), I've found myself gushing to friends only to get mocked for spending so much on detergent. So, for those of you on the fence, this is what I told my friends:
-Price: It's cheap if you think of it as a dry cleaning alternative (it's even cheaper than that Dry Cleaner's Secret stuff, which doesn't even work that well). Plus it lasts forever.
-Quality: For those worried that "green" laundry detergent = less effective + more expensive, don't. The people at the Laundress apparently really know fabrics and laundry, in addition to the environment.
-Scent: Nope - it doesn't smell like Downy or a cool ocean breeze on a sunny summer's day or whatever you'd think of as "laundry detergent smell." But I like that. The cedar scent is functional (moths), not overpowering, and once your item has dried, it's barely detectable. It's not cedary in a chemical or sawdust smell kind of way, more like warm wood notes. It smells like winter? Though, if you hand wash, your bathroom will smell like a cedar closet for an hour or two afterwards.

So much better than dry cleaning!Mar 19, 2009
By McBean

I purchased this product after it was recommended on Ideal Bite. This stuff is fabulous. I've washed 15 cashmere and wool sweaters and have barely made a dent in the bottle. (I have a "he" washer and only need to use half the usual amount.) I also add Downy to the rinse cycle, so my sweaters smell ever so much better than they ever did after a trip to the dry cleaner. The soap itself has a very mild, pleasant smell. My sweaters are actually softer than they were before, too. Rather than dry flat, I use a "hanging garment drying rack" also purchased at Amazon. Really, this is so much cheaper than dry cleaning and the results are so much better. And it's better for the environment than all those nasty chemicals.

Lives up to expectations!Jan 16, 2011
By ATseng
First of all, I NEVER write reviews, but I'm so impressed with this product that I decided I had to. I looked into the best ways to wash my cashmere sweaters, and found this product. After reading the reviews on various sites, I was a bit skeptical - can a product really be that good? Plus, $18 is pretty steep for a bottle of specialized laundry detergent. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a try, and true enough, just like all of the other reviews - when hand washing you can literally SEE the dirt coming off of each item (which was fascinating and a bit gross at the same time). The detergent suds up nicely, without creating too much foam, is easy to rinse off, and leaves a mild scent. Afterwards my items were much softer as well, but that could also be because all of the dirt has been stripped off!
