TO BIO OR NOT TO BIO (sorry)
‘BIO’ is short for biological. When a product gets called ‘BIO’ or biological it means enzymes are on the scene. The big boast of a biological product is boosted performance when washing cooler, working best just below body temperature (≤40 °C). Plus those enzymes can help catalyse grease & oil for all round better stain removal.
Bio laundry liquids are not for everyone;
they can tackle stains more effectively at lower temperatures but are more likely to be a problem for those with sensitive skin or other conditions.

Laundry liquid Bio can be used to hand wash delicates and cashmere. It is most often the mechanical action in the drum of the washing machine that causes damage to garments through stretching or abrasion against other garments. Hand washing prevents these two things from happening.
We would advise using mild, not too hot water as this may affect the fibres leading to shrinking/thermal shock. As well as a small dose of laundry liquid as not much will be needed to give great results in a small bowl/bucket. Gently working the laundry liquid and water through the garment will give the best results.
