What's everyone using for hand washing clothes? I hand wash my modern
lingerie, some delicate modern clothes, and vintage clothes. I am not
looking for an archival product. I am wondering if I should switch from
Woolite, although for no special reason, really.

I understand that Woolite changed their formula many years ago and it was
hard to rinse out after that. Clothes could become sticky with the residue.
I stopped using it when I noticed that and use gentle shampoos with no oils
in them. Baby shampoo is rather harsh, surprisingly, because it's develop
iquid soap. I am not sure, but I feel that it felts the wools less
than the commercial detergents, and it seems the nicest on silks.

I wash my wool and silk delicates with either Orvus or shampoo, my plant
fiber delicates with regular laundry detergent or whatever soap product

My mother always used to save the last bits of t
Eucalan. It is marketed to knitters but does well with other hand
washables.
