Orvus WA Paste

A gentle detergent for washing historic & fine textiles.

A pH neutral, synthetic anionic detergent paste which is soluble in both hot & cold water. Contains sodium sulfate, cleans well at temperatures between 85-90 degrees and contains no added colorants or whiteners which may remain in the fabric after rinsing. Care should be used when washing any fine fabric as dyes may be unstable and items may become fragile when wet. Old oxidized stains may be difficult if not impossible to remove. Instructions included with each jar.

Note: Not suitable for silk fabrics.
