Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible, watery and weak Disappointing and expensive. There are much better wool washes on the market. I usually buy a lavender scented lanolin-based no rinse wash - it is thick, leaves a nice scent and also leaves my wool soft. This stuff is a thin liquid, can't really tell if it actually does much more than water, but I definitely prefer something a bit softer and with a bit more scent to it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really like it... There are other Marino soaps out there, most at the same cost but I found this one to be the one I like the most. I like how it smells at the end of the day and I do hand washing only, Rapha has gotten me addicted to their marino wool and this wash has done really well with my purchases. It would be nice to have a larger container. That is the only thing...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful, a must I've been using Rapha Merino Wash for several years (since it became available) on all Rapha merino products, and other brands as well. I constantly receive compliments on my "new" items, even though I've had them -and used them- for at least 1-2 years. Absolutely worth it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It cleans - but nothing special Used this a couple of times now. The merino garments are clean enough, but there is no particular fragrance and the wash is expensive compared to other similar products

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favorite wool wash - cycling or otherwise I've tried a few wool detergents, shampoos, and washes in the past few years, and Rapha's Merino Wash is by far my favorite. It has a moderate, non-soapy scent (cedar) and washes out completely (no soapy residue). I started using it just for my merino rapha cycling gear, but given that the cost per ounce is competitive to other recommended wool washes (and I like it much more), I now use it for my daily wool socks and other wool clothes. I buy 5 at a time and get free shipping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Well Bought it to complement my club jerseys. Have used as machine & hand wash. Does the job. Cedar extract hopefully acts as a moth deterrent.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Very, very expensive and don’t last for long Nice product but it comes in a small bottle for a huge price.

I can see that it's 250ml but how much do you need for each wash, per instructions

Asked by: Paulie23
Hi, for a full wash in a machine, it is 50ml. For hand washing, half a cap is fine.

I don't see a product for your Silk garments. Will Merino Wash work for washing the Silk Jersey?
