Unicorn Clean FAQs
What makes Unicorn Clean products different from regular laundry detergents?
Unicorn Clean products are designed specifically for natural fibres like wool, alpaca, silk, and hand-dyed yarns. Unlike mainstream detergents, they clean deeply without stripping softness or colour, preserving the integrity of your handmade and heirloom textiles.
Can I use Unicorn Clean on both raw fleece and finished projects?
Yes! The collection is ideal for scouring raw fleece as well as washing finished garments. The Power Scour targets grease and lanolin in unwashed fleece, while the Beyond Clean and Fibre Rinse are perfect for refreshing knits and woven pieces.
Are Unicorn Clean products safe for sensitive skin and babies?
Absolutely. All formulas are free from harsh chemicals making them safe for baby garments, sensitive skin, and delicate fibres. The gentle ingredients make your handmade gifts even more thoughtful.
Will Unicorn Clean affect the colour of hand-dyed or naturally dyed yarns?
Not at all. Unicorn Clean is colour-safe and pH-balanced, helping your hand-dyed creations maintain their vibrancy without bleeding or fading in the wash.
Do I need to use both the wash and the rinse?
While each product works beautifully on its own, using the wash followed by the Fibre Rinse gives the best results. The rinse restores softness, reduces static, speeds up drying, and helps block your pieces more evenly.
How much product should I use per wash?
A little goes a long way. Just one teaspoon treats an average sinkful of water. The concentrated formula means each bottle lasts longer, saving you time, money, and packaging waste.
Are Unicorn Clean products environmentally friendly?
Yes. They're made with plant-based surfactants and are biodegradable and grey-water safe, so you can clean your fibres with peace of mind and a smaller environmental footprint.
Will it help with that ‘wet wool’ smell?
Definitely. Unicorn Clean effectively removes odours, including lanolin, mildew, and mustiness, leaving your projects fresh and clean without overwhelming fragrance.
Can I use Unicorn Clean in my washing machine?
Yes! It works in both top- and front-loading machines on gentle cycles. Just be sure to use cold or lukewarm water and the appropriate dosage for a fibre-safe, machine-friendly clean.
Is this suitable for regular laundry too, or just craft projects?
While it’s formulated with fibre artists in mind, Unicorn Clean is a fantastic option for regular laundry, especially natural fibre garments, delicate items, and anything you want to treat with extra care.
