What makes Washo different from conventional detergents?
Washo wash strips put an end to overdosing and unnecessary environmental pollution.Conventional detergents are basically designed for heavy soiling or very stubborn stains - true to the motto: "More is more".In a time of prosperity, when the degree of soiling of our laundry in the average household has fallen sharply and the daily popularity of changing clothes has increased noticeably, this leads to an out-of-date or out-of-fashion laundry. a misguided application and unnecessary environmental pollution.
Washo wash strips are the sustainable result of deliberately reduced ingredients and plant-based washing substances. By curbing overdosing in hundreds of thousands of washes per year within Switzerland alone, resources are used more carefully and consciously, our laundry is washed more sustainably and our waters and environment are protected. the whole environment.

How much Washo do I need for my laundry?
The packaging says:
1 Washo washing strip for 3-6kg of laundry.In principle, we recommend using 1 Washo washing strip for normally filled machines up to 6kg and "normally soiled" everyday laundry.
For half-full or small machines, you can also use only 1/2 wash strips if you wish. You can cut Washo wash strips in half without any problems.
For very full or larger machines or for heavily soiled laundry, you can also use 1 1/2 or even 2 Washo washing strips.
The perfect wash dosage depends on a variety of factors (e.g. the amount of water used).B. Machine condition, water hardness, degree of soiling, etc.) and requires a bit of "trial and error" depending on your needs.
As a general rule, the less washo you need, the better!This saves resources and is also good for your wallet.
For stubborn stainswe recommend pretreating them in an ecological way. Suitable for this areB. the environmentally friendlyWasho stain remover soapwith soapnut extract has been honoured.
What influence does the water hardness have on the dosage?
The water hardness has a decisive influence on the dosage or on the washing result of your clothes. As with conventional detergents, the harder the water, the more Washo you need.
Please note the local water hardness where Washo is used: Water hardness in your area - with just a few clicks
If the water hardness is high, we recommend that you also use ecologically sustainable household products (vinegar, citric acid, etc.) to protect your clothes and your machine.) to be used.
Which laundry is Washo suitable for?
In principle, Washo is suitable for all types of everyday laundry. Of course, we have tested this extensively with our own favourite pieces. If you are unsure, why not try Washo on an inconspicuous area of your clothing and see for yourself?
For white laundry please note that Washo deliberately avoids the use of chemical bleaching agents or bleach. Brighteners such asB. chlorine bleach is not used. The Washo oxygen bleach is very suitable as an ecological alternative against unsightly grey haze.
Is Washo also suitable for silk, down, wool & co. suitable?
Yes, Washo is basically suitable for all textiles (including silk, down, wool, etc.).) - also for functional underwear. Of course, we also tested this extensively on our own favourite items of clothing.
If in doubt, you can also try Washo on an inconspicuous part of your favourite piece first.
Please always observe the textile care label on your garments.Want to know more about the ingredients?

Thank you for showing consideration for our environment and helping to reduce energy and water consumption. Learn more about Washo's commitment to the sustainable development of our planet.
Should I also use a limescale remover in parallel with Washo?
Washo washing strips do not contain a descaling function. To protect your machine and your clothes, it makes sense to clean/descale the appliance regularly.
As an ecological alternative to conventional descaling agents, you can also clean your machine occasionally with vinegar (white household vinegar) or lemonic acid . Vinegar softens water, disinfects and dissolves both dirt and limescale deposits from your washing machine.
Would you like to find out more about sustainable washing? You can also find tips & tricks and exciting articles about sustainable washing on the Washo Blog.
Do I still need a fabric softener?
Washo washing strips do not contain any fabric softener. An ecological alternative to fabric softener is citric acid or white household vinegar - not to be confused with vinegar essence. Simply add 30-60ml of vinegar to the fabric softener compartment of your machine as required.
Vinegar softens water, disinfects and removes both dirt and limescale deposits from your washing machine and the textile fibres of your laundry.
Would you like to find out more about sustainable washing? Tips & tricks and exciting articles about sustainable washing can also be found on the Washo Blog.
What about the small print on the packaging?
Washo is registered in the public Swiss Product Register of Chemicals (RPC) and, like all detergents on the market, is required by law to display specific warning/safety information (H and P phrases) on the packaging. The wording is predefined and may not be changed.
Most of these will come as no surprise to you, as hopefully everyone is aware that washing powder should be kept away from children, not rubbed into their eyes or even swallowed... Nevertheless, this information can be unsettling, which is why we have asked our Swiss auditing company for a clear explanation for our customers.
This is what the external specialist says: "The mandatory P and H phrases were actually formulated primarily for the situation in the manufacturing chemical industry, where large quantities of products with correspondingly greater hazards are used. Nevertheless, these are mandatory even for small quantities. The following sentence can be particularly irritating: "Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects".Our expert also has a plausible explanation for this.
This is what the external specialist says: "If the sum of the ingredients classified with H412 (and these are surfactants in all detergents) in the mixture is greater than 25% of the total weight, this rate must be indicated. The percentage of Washo is also so high because the product has a total weight of just 2g. However, precisely because of its low weight, the following applies to Washo: "The low consumption of raw materials conserves resources and promotes the sustainable development of our planet.

Oxygen bleach
What is Washo oxygen bleach?
Washo oxygen bleach is an environmentally friendly oxygen-based bleaching agent with natural ingredients. Thanks to the ecologically sustainable active oxygen formula, premature greying is prevented and whites stay whiter for longer. Washo bleach is also suitable for brightening very light-coloured textile fibres. And even in small doses (from 1 Washo dosing spoon). Active oxygen also helps to neutralise unpleasant odours from as low as 30°C and has a germicidal effect.
Thanks to carefully selected ingredients, Washo oxygen bleach is not only ecologically sustainable but also gentle on the fibres of your favourite clothes.
What is Washo oxygen bleach suitable for?
Washo oxygen bleach prevents the unsightly grey haze that usually occurs when white textiles are washed regularly. And can also be used for light whitening of white laundry.

Appropriate pre-treatment for stubborn stains (blood, sweat deodorant, grass, grease, etc.) is essential.) z.B. with Washo stain remover soap is still necessary.
Washo oxygen bleach is suitable for all white and/or very light-coloured textiles. And that even with wash cycles from 30°C. We recommend that you do not use oxygen bleach on coloured and dark textiles.

Application & dosage of Washo oxygen bleach
The packaging states:
1 to 2 heaped Washo wooden measuring spoons per wash cycle.
In principle, we recommend using 1 heaped Washo wooden dosing spoon for usually filled machines up to 6kg and "normally soiled" white everyday laundry . Add Washo oxygen bleach directly to the main detergent compartment and select an ECO programme if possible.
For half-full or even small machines you can also use a levelled or even just 1/2 Washo wooden dosing spoon.
For very full or larger machines or for heavily soiled laundry, you can also use 1 1/2 or even 2 heaped Washo wooden dosing spoons. The perfect dosage depends on various factors (e.g.B. Machine condition, water hardness, degree of soiling, etc.) and requires a bit of "trial and error" depending on your needs.
The basic rule is: The less washo you need, the better! You'll save resources and your wallet will be happy too. Please pre-treat stubborn stains in an ecological manner. Suitable for this areB. the environmentally friendly Washo stain remover soap with soapnut extract was honoured.
Tumbler Balls
Why should I use Washo Tumbler Balls?
Washo Tumbler Balls save up to 25% energy during tumbling for up to 1,000 tumbling cycles. The natural sheep's wool balls ensure that the warm air can circulate better between your clothes and thus shorten the drying time. In addition, the Washo Tumbler Balls are a natural insulator or Heat accumulator that reduces the loss of ambient heat without additional energy.
Washo Tumbler Balls make your laundry softer and fluffier. In addition, the wool balls prevent static build-up and reduce creasing of your favourite clothes to an absolute minimum.
From a sustainability perspective, laundry should always be dried in the natural air environment (indoors or outdoors). Nevertheless, it is impossible to imagine many households without the tumble dryer and its usefulness has ultimately given it a raison d'être. So we're not perfect here either, but we're better and save energy! This also makes your wallet happy.
Are Washo Tumbler Balls 100% natural?
Yes, the Washo Tumbler Balls are made from 100% natural sheep's wool. In order to express the high quality standard and sustainable product promotion, our sheep's wool balls are of courseRWS(Responsible Wool Standard) certified.
The sheep's wool comes from a small region in New Zealand, where animal-friendly husbandry and the species-appropriate production of wool are a matter of course and are regularly monitored.
The Washo Tumbler Balls come in a sustainable fabric bag. Of course, free from microplastics and without any additives.
Are Washo Tumbler Balls hypoallergenic?
Yes, the Washo Tumbler Balls are hypoallergenic. And also absolutely odourless.
How do I use the Washo Tumbler Balls?
The Washo Tumbler Balls are very easy to use: Just put all 4 sheep's wool balls directly into your tumbler with the laundry and start the programme.
You can use the Washo Tumbler Balls for up to 1,000 tumble cycles.
Dishwashing
What distinguishes Washo dishwasher tabs from conventional tabs?
Washo dishwasher tablets are not individually packaged and come without any plastic/PVA film. We have optimised the pressing process so that the dishwasher tabs stick together without packaging and still dissolve completely in the water during the wash cycle.
Washo dishwasher tabs are manufactured in Germany according to a consistent ECO recipe. This ensures that Washo Tabs meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability. With its carefully selected, biodegradable ingredients and the deliberate avoidance of polycarboxylates, Washo is taking a further step towards ecologically sustainable housekeeping.
Would you like to find out more? Then visit our transparency area. There you will also find the publicly published safety data sheets (SDS) of all our products for the professionals among you.
What does "all-in-one" mean for Washo dishwasher tablets?
The Washo dishwasher tabs are basically designed according to a multifunctional formula ("all in one"). This means that it already contains a certain amount of regenerating salt and a clear/bright rinsing function.
For optimum washing results, however, we recommend using additional regenerating salt for hard water and rinse aid for very hard water.
When the lime content in the water is increased, the efficiency of the complexing agent or of the natural ingredients and this can have a negative effect on the rinsing result.
Please always take into account the water hardness at the place of use: Find out the water hardness in your area.
Are there also free samples for the dishwasher tabs?
We will soon also be able to offer free samples of Washo dishwasher tablets. On the one hand, because the initial costs and packaging costs for individual tabs are disproportionately high and, on the other hand, because they are not suitable for sending by post.
You can always shop risk-free at Washo, because we also offer a 100% satisfaction or money-back guarantee for tabs. Find out more about the Washo money-back guarantee.
What do I have to do regarding when storing Washo Tabs?
The Washo Tabs are designed according to a strict ECO recipe and made with natural ingredients. In connection with the deliberate omission of the plastic/PVA film and the sustainable paper packaging, the sustainable dishwasher tabs are somewhat more susceptible to moisture than conventional products.
This is why it is important that the tabs are stored in a dry place and not for months. We recommend prompt consumption within 2-3 months.
How many Washo Tabs do I need per wash cycle?
In principle, you can use 1 Washo dishwasher tab (<20g) per wash cycle. This applies to a normal-sized dishwasher with a full load.
If you have a mini dishwasher at home, you can also use a 1/2 Washo Tab without any problems. This prevents the overdosing of rinse aid activators and protects both your dishes and the resources of our planet.
For optimum washing results, we recommend that you use additional regenerating salt with hard water and additional rinse aid with very hard water.
Where is the best place to put the Washo Tab in my machine?
We recommend placing the Washo dishwasher tab directly into the dispensing chamber of your dishwasher. This ensures that it dissolves evenly and develops its effect appropriately.
Do I need salt and rinse aid in addition to the Washo tabs?
The Washo dishwasher tabs are basically designed according to a multifunctional formula ("all in one"). This means that it already contains a certain amount of regenerating salt and a clear/bright rinse function.

Body care
Where are the Washo Care solid shower care and shampoo bars made?
Washo Care solid shower care and shampoo are manufactured in Germany and Switzerland .
Can I shower with Washo Care products in an outdoor shower or wash myself in a lake or stream?
The Washo Care products arebiodegradable. However, biodegradation takes time and we therefore recommend always allowing the products to seep into the ground at a sufficient distance of 20 metres or more from a body of water. Direct application in a lake or stream is therefore not recommended.
For a shower made ofnatural stone materialwe recommend testing the material in an inconspicuous place beforehand. Natural stone reacts sensitively on contact with surfactants and can become discoloured, especially if it is unsealed.
Are there any free samples of Washo Care products?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer free samples of Washo Care products. Firstly, because the initial costs and packaging costs for individual small mini shampoos would be disproportionately high and secondly, because they are not suitable for sending by post.
You can always shop risk-free at Washo, because we also offer a 100% satisfaction or money-back guarantee for tabs. Find out more about the Washo money-back guarantee.
Why are solid products more sustainable than liquid shower gels and shampoos?
There are many reasons that speak in favour of the solid wash pieces. Plastic-free: The product and packaging are completely plastic-free - including microplastics.
Transport: Because the product is so small and compact, it requires only a fraction of the transport volume and weight of liquid shampoos. This also means that far fewer lorries clog up the roads and CO2 emissions during transport are massively reduced.
Natural: Our solid washes are certified as natural cosmetics and therefore contain no petroleum-based ingredients, preservatives, silicones or parabens. They consist of 95% natural ingredients. They are also vegan.
Water-free: The product as well as its production is completely water-free. Accordingly, it is very economical and is sufficient for many applications. When travelling by air, you no longer need to worry about leaks or liquids.
How does Washo Care differ from conventional soaps?
The washing performance in our wash pieces is achieved using plant-based synthetic surfactants (syndets) . Soap, on the other hand, achieves its washing performance through the saponification of vegetable oils in combination with lye. Soap is therefore a "washing suds".
Soap is often not suitable for vegans due to its animal-based ingredients (beef tallow, beeswax). Washo Care's plant-based surfactants, on the other hand, are vegan.
An important difference lies in the pH value. Soap has an alkaline pH value of 8-11, the natural pH value of the skin is slightly acidic and is only 5-6. The pH value of Washo Care products is between 4-6.5 and is therefore much closer to that of the skin than soap products.
Are Washo Care products suitable for people with allergies or sensitive skin?
Synthetic surfactants are much gentler on sensitive skin with a damaged acid mantle than soap, as they are much closer to the skin's own pH value. Many clinical studies confirm the mild effect of surfactants and good tolerability, even with dermatitis or acne.
Our solid wash pieces contain coco-sulphates, which degrease and cleanse the hair and scalp. Coco sulphate is a relatively mild surfactant and is frequently used in natural cosmetics as it is obtained from natural plant oils. However, if you are generally sensitive to sulphates, we advise against using it.
Our washes also contain fragrances that can have a potentially irritating effect on allergy sufferers. The fragrances are derived from natural essential oils and are labelled separately to make allergy sufferers aware of this. Affected fragrances contained in Washo Care are: Linalool, Citral, Gernaiol, Citronellol and Limonene.
What ingredients are in Washo Care products?
Find out more about the ingredients of Washo Care shower gel and shampoo here. All products are veganand animal-free.
How do I use Washo Care solid shower gel and shampoo?
Solid shower products are just as easy to use as liquid shampoos and shower gels. First shower as usual and, if you are using shampoo, rinse your hair thoroughly. Wet the solid shower gel or solid shampoo and rub it briefly between your hands so that it starts to foam. Then you can run it directly over your skin and hair and massage in the foam. Then rinse the foam completely from the skin and hair.
After use, it is important to allow the shampoo or shower gel to dry thoroughly. This works best in the Washo Care wall holder, a suspended Washo Care soap bag or in a soap dish with draining facility.
Where do I place the Washo Care products in the shower?
The solid pieces of shower gel and shampoo must be stored in the shower away from the water jet. This ensures that the product does not wear off and "melt" by itself due to constant contact with water.
How do I store Washo Care solid shower products?
The products must be stored in a dark and dry place and have a shelf life of 24 months after opening.

In doing so, we are fulfilling our social responsibility to have a positive influence on the sustainable and fair development of our world. We only have the one.
Unfortunately, we can't solve all problems with Washo. But we can start somewhere and take the first important step towards careful use of our natural resources. And we are definitely making an important contribution in terms of sustainability and social responsibility!

Is Washo a Swiss company?
Yes! Washo is a genuine Central Swiss company and a Swiss trade mark registered with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property.
Where does Washo produce?
We are the first company in Switzerland to also offer wash strips from local production in Germany. Our SOFT wash strips are manufactured there on a new production line. As the capacity of the plant is still insufficient for the overall demand, our Classic washing strips are manufactured in a small owner-managed company in Asia. We have committed the company to adhering to strict standards and know the people on site. We are investing heavily in the expansion of our European production facilities so that we can eventually relocate our entire production to Europe.
Produced exclusively for Washo by an ECOCERT-certified German family business, our dishwasher tabs are manufactured according to the highest quality standards and a consistent ECO recipe. Also produced in Germany and with carefully selected ingredients, the Washo additional products such as the ecological oxygen-based bleach, the stain remover soap with soap nut extract, etc. are also produced in Germany. Even the high-quality storage boxes in the stylish Washo design are the result of our high standards of quality and sustainability from German production.
By purchasing Washo, you are supporting our pioneering work and making an important contribution so that we can continue to invest in local production.

Did Washo invent the washing strips?
No, we didn't invent anything - the concept of washing strips originally comes from Canada. But we were immediately convinced by the idea, which is why we want to make it available to as many households as possible in Switzerland.
Since detergents & Co. As our waterways are being unnecessarily polluted, it makes perfect sense to minimise the consumption of resources and overdosing in this area.

Why is sustainability particularly important when it comes to washing?
Water has always been the most important resource for all life on our planet. When washing, doing the dishes and cleaning, we all pollute the environment with chemical pollutants directly via the waste water.
Protecting our waters is essential and "everyday" habits such as washing or doing the dishes constantly pollute them to a high degree. For Washo, this is reason enough to tackle both unnecessary environmental pollution and the misappropriation of resources.
How is Washo involved on a social level?
We are all at home on the same earth and we all bear responsibility for our planet - together. That's why we at Washo don't primarily deal with contact persons, but with people. We will never succeed in developing our world sustainably on our own. But together we can have a significant influence on this:
Foundation ZUWEBE: Washo samples
The Washo biscuits are filled with great dedication by the Zuwebe Foundation. We are very grateful for the consistently great cooperation and the cordial dialogue.
Tree-Nation: Trees and jobs
Planting trees with Tree-Nation not only contributes to global reforestation but also creates hundreds if not thousands of jobs in parts of the world where people have no work and sometimes no prospects at all.
