Customer Tested"I have now tried it on various stains, and there really is only one thing to say about the product: IT WORKS!!!!! I have used it directly on the stains and in the washing machine. It worked best directly on the stains and on extra tough stains, do a little bit of both.
I have used it on various stains; new ones and old ones, diaper stains and fruit/smoothie stains and on general dirt (from my 10 month old baby making her way on the outdoor terrace sitting on her bum). To my big surprise it actually reduced an old diaper stain that has been on a body since her older sister made the stain a few years back. It did not completely disappear, but the stain was definitely reduced after I used the gall soap (this being a well worn body that has been used and washed numerously times, but the stain has stayed until now) The baby is in to eating berries and drinking smoothies at the moment. Great fun - and great mess. The gall soap took all the stains except the blueberry ones (but it did reduce even the blueberrystains).
I have only tried it on the babies natural-coloured (off-white) wool products, so it's been easy to see how well the gall soap has worked. So, all in all a great product, which I have no problems with recommending. Will definitely buy some once the free sample runs out (another bonus: it is very long lasting; don't have to use much each time)." Gunnhild, Ranheim, Norway
In your experience... We have heard that it prevents whites from turning grey but haven't had a chance to test that ourselves - let us know if it does this too in your experience.

"I had a light coloured wool chunky cardigan, and with time the dirt had ingrained despite of having been washed with proper detergents. It had also suffered shrinkage due to persistent washings, in the desperate hope to remove the overall dirt, that was now turning this lovely colour into a light shade of grey. It had become a desperate case... (i.e. nasty marks of grease on the end of the sleeves). So, at the end of my "ball of wool", I bought this product hoping for some results, BUT I was not prepared for the miracle that ensued! The cardigan not only returned to its original colour, but now it actually looks brighter than I ever remembered it. And with the help of the wool conditioner, it managed to be restored to its natural feel, with a much more flexible weave and it restored its length, although the liquid gall soap had done the initial loosening of the fibres. The liquid gall soap makes wearing silk and wool a lot more stress free now that I know I can give them the care t"

"I was originally sent some gallseife from Germany when I had a vinaigrette stain on some trousers, that product was most efficient and removed the stain. I did not find the version you sell as efficient, so was rather disappointed."

"Gall soap has been a staple of German households for decades, if not longer. This liquid version is very easy to use and lasts ages. I have used it on everything from yellowing wool nappy covers, to grass stains on jeans, and most things in between. Most stains seem to lift after a soak but sometimes a bit of rubbing is needed. Certainly my stain remover of choice!"
"This worked really well to get stubborn stains our of wool."

Washing: How to use gall soap Apply gall soap directly to the stain and work in. Rinse thoroughly or rinse/wash in your normal wash. Do not leave it directly on the fabric for too long on delicate fabrics. We suggest testing first for colour-fastness. Alternatively, to machine wash, you can add 20 - 30ml to the main detergent draw of your wash and use your normal cycle (wool cycle for woollens of course!) or you can add it to the pre-wash cycle, and follow with your normal detergent.
