“Not having to rinse to get out residue soap is a real bonus.” - Customer

“It came out beautifully -soft, clean and unmatted." - Customer

“The advantage is less stress on the threads…” - Customer

“At the Guild we had a white quilt with marking pencil tracings that would not come out despite trying several different methods that usually work. We had a small sample of soak so decided to try it. We diluted it with a bit of water and dabbed it on the lines. Magically they disappeared leaving no residue and we had a much relieved quilt maker”. - Customer

FAQS

What is no rinse?
No-rinse means that the product is a low-suds liquid. When you soak your items, the dirt and detergent comes out in the water and what is left in the item evaporates. When you squeeze out the water, you are left with a hint of fragrance that dissipates over time. You can rinse if you want. We recommend rinsing for lingerie. Rinsing does not affect how Soak cleans. It just removes the fragrance.

Can you please tell me basic hand washing instructions?
Hand wash: Pour 1 teaspoon into cool water. Soak item for 15 minutes then gently squeeze out water. No need to rinse. Some color may bleed into the water – don’t worry; this won’t harm your garment or yarn. Lay knit items flat to dry. Wash sets (like lingerie) together.

Can I use Soak in the machine?
Yes. Soak is ideal for either hand or machine washing- including High Efficiency Machines. Use the delicate cycle and measure Soak based on your machine’s instructions. You can either use or skip the rinse cycle, depending on what you are washing.

Can I use Soak to spot clean?
Yes. We recommend using Soak on the end of a cotton swab. Gently rub the dirt/ stain and then rinse with water. 

What are the ingredients in Soak? 
All of our new bottles have ingredients listed on them. They are making their way into circulation. Ingredients are listed on the bottle as follows: 
What’s inside: reverse osmosis water, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate & sodium laureth sulfate (lifts soil), cocamidopropyl betaine & cocamide DEA (removes oils), parfum, acetylated lanolin alcohol & cetyl acetate & polysorbate 80 (adds softness), tetrasodium EDTA & DMDM hydantoin, benzophenone-4 (purifies tap water), citric acid (balances pH).

Do you have any photos of the bottles?
Our website has a download section. We encourage you to use any images, photographs or product descriptions of our product on your website, in your newsletters or in your store. We’ve done the hard work, so you don’t have to.

Will it leak in transit?
All bottles have induction seals so that they will not leak during shipping.

How do I display Soak in my store?
Your introductory Package includes a free retail display unit. It holds 2 of each fragrance and 2 starter kits. You can continuously refill it. The display is designed so Soak takes up minimal counter space and is stylishly contained.

Is it Organic?
Soak is environmentally friendly. It is biodegradable and packaged in recyclable bottles which are printed with water-based inks. Soak is not organic or all natural. Natural products tend to need to be refrigerated and have short shelf lives. Soak is a stable product that will not fog or separate over time.

Does Soak Advertise and appear in the media? 
Yes. Soak is advertising in both trade and consumer magazines in the knitting and quilting market. Soak constantly appears in editorial coverage from all major knitting, quilting, sewing, weaving, spinning and craft magazines.
