Is the wool stripped of its lanolin using a method called "carbonizing" or any other chemical bath such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid etc...?

Hello Andrea, We do not remove the lanolin from our wool, The wool is washed with a non-toxic and gentle detergent which removes dirt but not the lanolin. Sincerely, Christian Mourguet

I am so very sorry, I have no information on that, but, if you email the Company thru their listing, they are very good at responding to questions.

As far as I know it is organic wool. cleaned etc but otherwise untreated. I saw responses to reviews from the owner of the company so you could directly there for your answer.Cheers

NO! I just rinsed with cold water for several minutes. So technically the acid was still doing its thing. Use water/baking soda mixture to stop it quickly. Btw just used this for 3rd time, left on little longer than previous two, & SO pleased with results. Better each time!

Have you tried fine grade steel wool? I would warm the element up a little, then unplug the unit and with some fine steel wool go over the element, all should come off pretty easy. Don't get the finest steel wool, but about two grades up from the finest. Can by bought at Lowe's, Home Depot or your local hardware or paint store. I would also check firt to see if the element has any kind of coating on it. I doubt that it does, but would check anyway. I know that the what ever is on the element will come off easier if the element is hot or at least warm before you clean it. Just be careful.

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.

No, I clean mine with steel wool and have had no problems. Bad problem is the even heat distribution isn't really good, but worth the money. I'm still using mine after almost two years!

It should not if you follow the label on the clothing as well as the bottle of woolite. We use it for most non-dryclean articles. Always use the delicate cycle. Everything should be fine.

I have an original one of these, 100% wool and I put it in the washer constantly on gentle cycle, cool water! hang to dry. I got rid of the "oily" smell in one wash. I wash ALL my woolens, even my cashmere, in an appropriate soap for woolens. They come out beautifully! Dry cleaner fluid damages wool. Wool is from sheep, they stand out all day in the rain...the only thing you should not do with wool is heat or high agitation, which will felt the wool. BTW, my seller told me there was no order as well, they must not have a nose on their faces, the odor is overwhelming right out of the box!

I think wool is naturally flame resistant. I don't think the blanket has a special chemical in it.

The spinning head pulls off fairly easily and most of the sugar burnt on will come off with a bit of a soak. There is some browning inside that didn't come off but it hasn't effected the working of it. I didn't want to try steel wool incase it made scratches and made it worse. Hope this helps.

Not personally, but the makers do have a video about using this for wool coats here http://www.dailycandy.com/everywhere/video/fashion/95597/How-to-Wash-a-Coat-The-Laundress

I've only used this product on car mats and car upholstery so I can't answer about wool.

Look at the label for cleaning instructions. Woolite doesn't actually clean garments, it just takes the odor out.

Consider it like using fine steel wool for removing oxidation without the metal contamination. I use it to clean a repair site before soldering a printed circuit board.

Hi. I read some reviews where people reported this, but I have had no problems whatsoever. AND I have washed several batches of wool and also alpaca fiber in them (fine hairs)...got some stuck in the zipper a couple of times, but was able to release it without damaging the zippers. I really like these bags.

There is hydrolyzed wheat protein and silk, towards the bottom of listed ingredients. I'm not a chemist, but maybe the different alcohols, the water, and "puffed up" animal proteins work towards hydrating hair. FYI: use small dime sized amounts before blow drying/ironing, cause it reacts to heat.

There's a great product called "Afterwash" sold at big box stores.It cleans the gunk left after using strippers.Use it right afterwards (Dont let your project dry out for days).Also great for woodwork! Yes it is a harsh chemical .Good Luck!
