Review: Nice refreshing smell, soft feel and long lasting, fabric protector? - Leaves a nice refreshing smell and appears to prolong the freshness feel of the garments. No noticeable loss thermodynamics/ efficiency of fabric after multiple uses. Ideal fro washing other tech fabrics ie Coolmax, under-armour tee-shirts, underwear etc.. In fact anything that is not waterproof or wind resistant material (use tech wash). I use this for my first and second layer technical clothing only including underwear. Its just the cost that makes using this liquid expensive per wash cycle, especially If you only have a few items. I use mine direct in the drum using a spare plastic ball/lotion container from other well known liquid soap suppliers. I find it is best to use directly inside the drum. Ideal just a little expensive so keep for your technical material/more expensive clothing. Although to u.se a semi-full load I have used with standard clothing with similar results. Not essential for technical clothing care but you do notice the difference in feel between using this and bog-standard washing solutions. a long lasting freshness is a great feeling when using the garment especially after 3+ days with no shower. i.e. wild camping.. Review: I like this. - I use a lot of base layer stuff both for walking , cycling and under my motorcycle leathers . Basewash was a new thing for me and I'm very impressed. Washing the base layers in ordinary detergent was not helping them and this stuff seems to have restored them all considerably. The base layers are now a lot more comfortable , less smelly to start with and ( apparently , at least) appear to resist getting as smelly as they used to. My smelly hellys have never been so civilized ! Good stuff. Not sure how long a litre will last so it may prove to be quite expensive. Worth it though . ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Contains Geraniol.
