Is this color-safe? Can it be used for delicates such as silk, wool, etc?

I have not used it on any silks and wool,,Try using it on some scrap wool or silk. This Laundry soda is not as harsh as most detergents.

I've been using this for over a year on all my laundry and am happy with the color and condition of my clothes. The smell is very natural and clean as well. I have washed a few wool garments, but I can not personally speak to its use on silk. I will say, however, that I use it in place of liquid detergent and it has performed better not only on my laundry, but has remedied the front-loader muck and smell I got with all liquid detergents. Try it-you will like it!

You will want to dilute it a bit but you can use it on fabric. I haven't seen it cause any discoloration on anything I've used it on.

I used it on colored and had no problem. I used the powder kind for laundry. Put the amount in the machine while it was filling up with water so it would dissolve. Then added clothes.

I'm sorry I dont know i can't imagine it not being safe for color tested hair.

I used it on colored leather sofa(cream) and it worked great. It isn't as strong of a cleaner as I would have liked, but it did not affect the color. If you use it on a nice leather handbag you may want to condition after. My wife had a "coach", leather cleaner + conditioner was reccomended

I wouldn't use it on anything delicate, or on something that might snag. I have used it on a wool blazer/jacket with success, and also on dark khakis.

Any heavier fabric would be fine. I wouldn't use it on knits or silks that could snag or run. The bristles are really very soft.

I use Ivory for delicate or fragile fabrics. That is its best use. For this reason, bleach and Ivory are not a good idea.

I don't own any wool carpets, but since the product description says it's safe for use on all carpet fibers, I don't see why not.

I use it on everything and it does great! Just use a smaller amount on delicates, you don't want it too strong.

It is safe for anything. I use it to wash wounds on my horses, (and humans too. ) i run a rescue so it is in constant use, works like no other, but I have to ask, why would you wash baby clothes in it?

Kookaburra Wash can be used on other clothes and washables, but be aware that it contains lanolin. You may not want that on silks. Kookaburra does make a Delicate wash also. It contains Lavender and Tea Tree oils. That one is fine for most washables, I use it on delicate items in the washing machine. Both varieties have directions for use in washing machines or by hand. Rinsing is optional. I have used both products for many years, and highly recommend them! You only need a very small amount.Note: If you have a family member with nut allergies, this product is not for you! It contains nut oil.

I say yes. I've used it and it is recommended for pretty much all fabrics and textiles. Just always test a small spot on any rug or fabric to make sure the color isn't affected. I've used it on vegetable dyed wool rugs with great success.

No. This product is simply a lot of different kinds of oils. Nothing that would damage your color. If anything it makes it shinier :)

Victoria I have not tried to do that, but since it is a relatively innocuous and non-toxic material, it would be worth a try compared to the usual toxic chemical product sold for cleaning. It's a good idea though just to try it on a piece of carpet where it does not matter if it affects the color, just to make sure it won't do anything you don't want it to.

I did not see any color bleeding off onto anything. So I think aswer is no it wont stain clothes. We did our silly string outside and when I cut my bushes months later blue string still had its color.

I think it would be ok to use on natural fabrics for both indoor & outdoor clothing however I definitely wouldn't use it on delicates or dressy clothing like tropical wool dress pants or a suit. Hope that helps.
