All sorts of stuff you don't want left behind on any fibre/fabric you want
to have around for many generations. Plus note the "proprietary" ingredients
- meaning you have no idea what it actually is. These formulations are
changed without any notice as well.

 

There are more than 6 formulations given on the Woolite MSDS page
(http://tinyurl.com/WooliteMSDS).

 

Feel free to contact me off line for any needed clarification.

 

Regards, 

Meg

...Woolite has detergent and a softener. It's been marketed well, but  

it's not the best thing to use. ...
