Great information. I have been getting small holes in my natural fabrics, usually soft fabrics of cotton, model, and rayon. I thought it may have been bugs, but I check my clothes before they go in and are fine, but come out with small holes. I use only biological products, so am beginning to think they do more damage than just to wool and silk. The enzyme information makes a lot of sense. Ugh, I am just sick with the many shirts I have lost. I have a few pairs of jeans that have holes, but not many.
I have a front end load machine, so maybe the biological detergent is to strong. I am afraid to do any more experimenting.
Thank you so much for the information, I will be changing my products.

No Eileen. It sounds quite a bizarre claim. Would need more information to make an informed comment.

do you know that you do not need to wash wool at all. It cleans itself, by hanging into fresh air.
