Dear Spiders Can anyone tell me:
Is Orvus obtainable in the UK? If so, what is it known as? If not, what, if any, can be used as a substitute? Thank you, in advance!

Specifically, it is pH neutral, (neither acidic nor alkaline which are both bad for textiles.) and it is a wetting agent rather than a soap or detergent. A wetting agent simply allows the water to penetrate the fibers better. Orvus rinses out completely, so rinsing with distilled water will produce the most minimal amount of residue possible. This is also good for textiles, since remnants of anything other than the fiber can cause damage. These traits are also useful for anything that needs to be washed without chemical disturbance, like animals and wool. > > Patty Dowden > > - > To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: > unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
