Northern Essence Wool Wash Review and Giveaway!
February 22, 2010 Giveaways, Reviews, cloth diapering
CLOSED: CONGRATS #85-Missy!
Liquid wool wash makes taking care of your wool so easy a daddy can do it! Maybe I should rephrase to say, so easy a daddy might do it? Any way you say it, a liquid wool wash, like the kind I sampled from Northern Essence, simplifies your wool care considerably!
Northern Essence is a family owned company owned by Traci Hoffman, a WAHM of 5 kids. She specializes in quality soaps with all natural ingredients and she does not test on animals! (yay!) Traci makes other items besides wool wash, including
You will find a lot of yummylicious scents available to choose from in the liquid wool washes from Northern Essence. Just read her list of available fragrances – I highly doubt there is a scent she did not make available! If you don’t know how much you will like a certain scent you can purchase a tiny 1/2 oz sample bottle of liquid wool wash. I found this is enough to do one sinkful of wool. My favorite scents so far are Clinique Happy, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cucumber Melon.
A little about their liquid wool wash from their website:
100% Natural vegetable glycerin soap blended with 100% natural liquid lanolin and pure Organic Oils, creating a far superior wash for your wool – with absolutely no detergents! This gentle, natural soap will cleanse your woolens without stripping the necessary lanolins, and then adds more in! We’ve found that this wash banishes even the worst “wet sheep” smell from your woolens! Highly recommended for those expensive, delicate wool covers.
They also sell wool wash bars and solid lanolin! The wool wash bars only come in 3 scents. Traci says on her site that the wool wash bars are:
Made with only the finest oils and butters, then lightly scented with fragrance or essential oils. Our wool wash bar is made the old fashion way, making it very gentle and all natural! With a high percentage of lanolin in each bar, our wool wash bar is great for washing all your wool items. This bar soap will last almost 4 times longer than any liquid wool wash!
A few other amazing products they sell include Monkey Sudz Bubble Bath, Natural Healing ointments like the nipple cream, and powdered goat milk bath! The list of products they make is long, so if there is a natural soap or healing product on your list I am sure you will find it here!
What did I think of the wool wash? AMAZING! I was actually a fan of Northern Essence before doing the review. I love smells in my clothes (good ones that is!) and shopping for new scents makes me all happy. I love the 1/2 ounce sample bottles you can buy. The wool wash works very well too. It leaves my wool super soft, smelling great and helps get the dirty poop off. The scent does fade after time but I noticed that if I let my wool air dry after David uses it they don’t stink like pee pee!
The Video!
In this video you will see my amazing husband washing, lanolizing and drying most of my wool covers and longies! This wool wash was super easy for him to use. Then at the end you will hear what he thought of caring for wool – and yes, wool can be daddy friendly, even if he isn’t home enough to help me by washing them for me.
