Sonett Olive Laundry Liquid for Wool and Silk

Product special features

Valuable pressed olive oil is processed into a soap in this product, which has excellent cleaning, conditioning and re-greasing properties for wool and silk textiles. With the help of the sugar surfactant, a soap-based fine detergent is created that is easy to use even in hard water and retains all the positive properties of a soap detergent. The olive oil, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil as well as the essential lavender oil are 100% organically grown.

Areas of application

For delicates, wool and silk up to 40 °C; in the washing machine and for hand washing.

Application

Add to the machine’s detergent compartment. Do not spray the concentrated detergent onto dry laundry. Delicate fabrics could change colour as a result.

Dosage in a 4.5 kg washing machine

Water hardness soft + medium: 60 ml
Water hardness hard: 90 ml

Yield

1 litre of olive detergent for wool and silk is sufficient for 17 washes in soft and medium water hardness, with a load of approx. 2.5 kg.

Recommendation
Add Sonett laundry rinse to the fabric softener compartment: 40 ml per wash. Freshens up delicate colours, helps to rinse out detergent residues better and smoothes the fibres.

Hand wash
Add 15–30 ml per approx. 5 litres of water to the water, then add the laundry items. Move gently. Adjust the rinse water to the temperature of the wash water to avoid thermal shock.

Origin and properties of the ingredients

Olive soap: The fruits from which the organically controlled quality olive oil is obtained through mechanical processes such as pressing and centrifuging come from centuries-old olive groves in the Mediterranean regions of Italy, Spain and Greece. Saponified with potassium hydroxide, it forms the main component of Sonett olive detergent for wool and silk. Olive oil is the best oil raw material for a mild re-fattening soap. Its balanced fatty acid composition, its healing, balancing effect on the heart and circulation and the remarkable development of the olive tree plant in a 7-year cycle show the special proximity and relationship of this oil to humans.

Rapeseed oil soap / sunflower oil soap: Vegetable oil saponified with potassium hydroxide is used to enhance the washing power. Rapeseed, flax and sunflowers are among the few oil fruits that are grown for oil production in our temperate Central European climate, also in controlled organic quality.

Ethanol: Is obtained by fermenting starchy plants such as maize and potatoes. Ethanol helps to keep the soap liquid and at the same time improves the fat-dissolving power of the detergent.

Sugar surfactant: Sugar, starch and coconut fat are the raw materials for the sugar surfactant used. The proportion of sugar surfactant is precisely matched to the soap content of the detergent so that it serves to keep the lime soap that forms in hard water finely dispersed in suspension and prevents it from settling on the laundry.
