Has anyone used this for "hand wash" sweaters? If so, is it gentle enough?

I have not tried to use this for sweater but cotton Tee and knit wear is fine.

Absolutely. The item is controlled by hand, so the strength and time is completely up to you. I frequently start a load, crank for a minute or two, and leave the load of clothes to soak for awhile. So far I've had good results with all of my clothes. Only very large items, such as comforters, coats, or pillows, would need to go to a regular washing machine. I estimate that within a couple of months' time, my handy little POD will have paid for itself. HTH.

It says in the Care instructions on the package to "Hand wash in Cold water with a mild detergent". "Do NOT use bleach or fabric softner". "Rinse thoroughly and Air dry". That's it. Pretty straight forward. Good Luck.

I would use the hand wash or delicate cycle. - I have bought a set for both of my nieces. They run small, it's by no means girls 4-6 more a 4T-5.

Absolutely. I love this product and use it for all fine washables including wool sweaters. It is very gentle but amazing at removing odors, body oils, etc. Excellent for lingerie as well. I like it so much I have already ordered it again. One caution, if using it in the washer, use the gentlest cycle and sprinkle the product over the water as it will clump if you just dump it in.

I haven't washed mine yet but I don't see why you wouldn't be a able to hand wash it, the material doesn't soak and it dries easily.

I have only used it once for my cashmere sweater and the sweater came out looking like how it looked before washing it.

I have only washed a sheepskin rug and my husband's winter fur lined cap with kookaburra so I don't really know how a wool blanket will wash up. However, I plan to wash my wool sweaters in it on gentle in COLD water and then either air dry in the dryer or flat on a towel. I think your wool blanket should be ok....but you might try an old wool sweater first just to make sure. Good Luck!

I wash all of my personal clothes with this (socks, jeans, undies. Sorted of course.) Two tablespoons will do a great job on a medium sized, medium soiled load. You will love your socks when they come out of the dryer. Don't use softener. Use cool water.

Yup. Hand washing is better but a gentle cycle with mild detergent does the job too

Yes I would hand wash with it. You would use very little. Very concentrated. We love it. Clothes smell fresh. No chemical odors. And soft. With no fabric Softner used.

I wouldn't use it in a washer unless you wash it on delicate. I usually like to hand wash mine.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

I'm not sure. I use it for handwashing bras - it was recommened to me for that purpose. Very gentle. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have used it on a sweater and it worked really well. Just test it on a small area...however my best guess is YES.

yes. Just like washing a wool sweater. I use Woolite or some other mild laundry detergent in cold water. Put in dryer with no heat and then line dry. Looks and feels like new.

Because it's specifically designed for wool and sheep skin products, my guess is that it would be perfect for your wool blanket (at a cold temperature). I would not dry the blanket after washing, but would air dry.
