Can't get smell of Kookaburra wool wash out--help!

I didn't like the smell either - I re-washed in lavender Eucalan (which I should have stuck to, in the first place), and the smell was gone.

What does it smell like? Now I'm curious!

I want to know too.

I'm guessing the the people who came up with the scent were going for clean smell. The closest I can come to describing it is a cross between the original scent of Dial soap and Jean Nate perfume. It smells really perfumy to me--and strong!
Anyone have any ideas on how else I can try to get the smell out?
Thanks!

[It smells like tea tree oil. I wash all my soakers in it and my dd's sheep skin and it works wonderfully. But it doesn't smell that strong to me, but it is on her shorts outside of my clothing and I don't hold her all of the time. And she seems to like it after I have washed her sheepskin. But I don't use scent free detergent or anything else either, so I'm suree its just a perception thing. My Doodlebottoms wool wash actually smells stronger when I am all done than my Kookaburra. Which is much more concenctrated than my WAHM stuff, so maybe you used too much?

Scent does seem to be a really personal thing. Try a soak with warm water and white vinegar and/or baking soda. You'll need to relanolize but they won't hurt your wool.

If you've got it, I'd try vinegar first and then move on to baking soda if that doesn't work.

I LOVE the smell of it, it is a mix of TTO and other oil smells. I think it is pleasant. I cant stand the smell of Eucalan, LOL, we are all different, LOL

Try popping them in the sun and fresh air for a while. Tea tree oil is one of those scents that really agrees with some people and others just can't abide. If that doesn't work I think it will dissipate a lot when next to your body.

Thanks, Karla.
If the baking soda doesn't work, I'll try sportwash--I've been meaning to get some for dipes anyway.
