Orvus paste is really interesting. I first stumbled on it (someone left it on the ground) at the Fall Fair. They use it to wash lambs before showing because it's extremely gentle and biodegradable. It's also excellent for getting rid of protein stains (like sweat and poo).
AND my garden loves it!
It's extremely economical. I usually use about one to two teaspoons per fleece (I did more for the video because I was nervous of the camera). I've had this jug for about 8 years and it's almost half empty.
And now for something completely different ... OUCH! STOP THAT! HOLD THIS TINY AD!
