Wool wash

Hello all - read somewhere that you can use wool wash for your clothes and no rinsing required - is this correct? Also if you didn't rinse wouldn't there be a build of detergent. Thank you for your help in advance. Have a happy day.

Vanning life so much better.
(Preview)
In regard to bush camping, over the last18 months, I have been getting my vehicle and van up to scratch so it all does what I want, properly. It has been the cause for a lot of head scratching, research, frustration, and cost as well. At the end of the day, for me, I am convinced that by taking no shortcuts I...
