    How much H&S would you use for a full HE washing machine load? Or is this best suited to hand washing?

    My friend tosses a regular cap full in as if if you were using your regular liquid detergent. For hand washing, he just takes a five gallon bucket and puts a couple of squirts in it with water and lets the garments soak for about a half an hour.

    I wouldn't put nature's miracle in a CamelBak, the smells in it are not from mammals, they are from molds and mildews. I'd use something stronger like bleach or vinegar (one alkaline, one acid, don't mix!)

    I like Woolite. So sue me. I wash all my clothes in it, since half of my everyday clothes are either merino or lycra anyway. I don't use a heck of a lot in the load. Hasn't hurt my precious wools yet in 2 years now. Everything comes out smelling fine. Tried Ivory Snow and hated the smell. Can't bear the awful smell of Head and Shoulders ((shudder)) Baby shampoo?- too many suds. My husband does his own laundry and uses that expensive Kucaburra wool wash stuff on it. it smells like lavender.
