Eucalan - a new way of doing your laundry in a delicate way and that saves you time, water and money!
Eucalan is an eco - friendly and PH - neutral detergent for delicate washing of sensitive fibres based on coconut. This detergent cleans thoroughly and improves the natural beauty of wool, silk, mohair, cotton and other fragile fabrics.
The natural presence of lanolin offsets the presence of dustmites and the essential oils maintain the fibres elastic and decreases the static electricity. No rinsing is required which means that the water consumption used while washing clothes can be reduced to as much as 50 % ! Machine washing is responsible for about 20 % of the total water consumption in our households.
Eucalan is free from toxins, biodegradable,free from bleach,phosphates and also free from artificial scents and colours.The packing is made from recycable plastic. Eucalan is economical and the dosage is small, 1 teaspoon with 4 l of water. Eucalan works well with both hand and machine wash. Eucalan is scented with essential oils from eucalyptus, lavender and grapefruit but it is also available unscented.
