Preserve the dyes in your fabrics and clothing--wash your animals too!, December 15, 2010
This review is from: Orvus Wa Paste (02531PG) Category: Miscellaneous Cleaners (Kitchen)
I have been using Orvus Paste concentrate daily since 2002. It is a horse shampoo and so it is gentle. It does not contain brighteners or bleach. Most super market detergents contain brighteners which fade red and black garments quickly. Brighteners change and fade brighter colors as well. So, I use this for my dark and brights loads of clothing. I pre wash all quilting fabric with it. It is considered archival for fabrics as are many other soaps free of brighteners. I use 1T or so per load. If you accidently put too much in and get bubbles galore, quickly add 2T rubbing alcohol to kill the sudz. Alcohol is a mild acid so don't use it unless it is necessary. I also dilute Orvus to wash my standard poodles. I add a few drops of essential oil of lavender to the doggie shampoo for fragrance. It is a wonderful simple product.
