After all, wool is self-cleaning, so the best approach is to let a worn woolen garment air out on a hanger. We advise against hanging worn woolens\u2014even after airing\u2014back in the wardrobe alongside your regular, clean clothes. You certainly don&#8217;t want moths in your wardrobe. Moths are attracted to worn clothing and love laying their eggs on worn garments made of animal fibers, though they are just as happy to feed on cotton or linen. Be sure to read our blog post on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebo.nl\/c-5688468\/waarom-krijg-ik-motten-in-mijn-kleding-kast\/\"><strong>Why do I get moths in my wardrobe?<\/strong><\/a>&#8221;     <\/p>\n<p>If you do decide to wash it, follow these simple steps: wash the wool garment inside out on a special wool cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees, use a wool detergent without fabric softener, and avoid high-speed spinning.<\/p>\n<p>It is best to dry large garments flat on a dry towel so they keep their shape. Small items, such as wool socks, can be dried on the clothesline. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Never use a tumble dryer,<\/strong> as this can damage the fabric. You can also hand-wash it in a solution of wool detergent. With this careful treatment, you will enjoy your wool garment for years to come.   <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Whether you want to wash a wool sweater, cardigan, tie, scarf, hat, baby clothes, or any other wool garment, this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebo.nl\/a-96142799\/diverse-merken\/wolwasmiddel-met-lanoline\/\">wool detergent <\/a><\/strong>is the perfect choice.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: Order the wool detergent at the same time you buy your wool clothing; that way, you\u2019ll have it on hand right away and be all set.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-312529517 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  line-height: 1.4;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-864807076\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-484320293\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n  <div class=\"banner has-hover\" id=\"banner-1761057975\">\n          <div class=\"banner-inner fill\">\n        <div class=\"banner-bg fill\" >\n            <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebo.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blog-gekrompen-wollen-trui-herstellen-wolwasmiddel.jpg\" class=\"bg attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" \/>                                    \n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\n        <div class=\"banner-layers container\">\n            <div class=\"fill banner-link\"><\/div>            \n\n   <div id=\"text-box-319898954\" class=\"text-box banner-layer x85 md-x85 lg-x85 y15 md-y15 lg-y15 res-text\">\n                                <div class=\"text-box-content text dark\">\n              \n              <div class=\"text-inner text-center\">\n                  \n\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" ><h3 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" style=\"color:#181b1f;\">Wool detergent<\/span><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><\/h3><\/div>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebo.nl\/product\/wolwasmiddel-met-lanoline\/\" class=\"button primary\" style=\"border-radius:99px;\">\n\t\t<span>Shop Now<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\n\n\n              <\/div>\n           <\/div>\n                            \n<style>\n#text-box-319898954 {\n  width: 60%;\n}\n#text-box-319898954 .text-box-content {\n  font-size: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div>\n \n\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n            \n<style>\n#banner-1761057975 {\n  padding-top: 99.99%;\n  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\n}\n#banner-1761057975 .banner-bg img {\n  object-position: 100% 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1641987442\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n  <div class=\"banner has-hover\" id=\"banner-1625333390\">\n          <div class=\"banner-inner fill\">\n        <div class=\"banner-bg fill\" >\n            <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebo.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Wasmachine-met-wollen-kledingstuk-klein.jpg\" class=\"bg attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" \/>                                    \n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\n        <div class=\"banner-layers container\">\n            <div class=\"fill banner-link\"><\/div>            \n\n   <div id=\"text-box-176629512\" class=\"text-box banner-layer x50 md-x50 lg-x50 y50 md-y50 lg-y50 res-text\">\n                                <div class=\"text-box-content text dark\">\n              \n              <div class=\"text-inner text-center\">\n                  \n\n\n              <\/div>\n           <\/div>\n                            \n<style>\n#text-box-176629512 {\n  width: 60%;\n}\n#text-box-176629512 .text-box-content {\n  font-size: 100%;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-box-176629512 {\n    width: 60%;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div>\n \n\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n            \n<style>\n#banner-1625333390 {\n  padding-top: 99.99%;\n  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1045680796 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out the best way to wash a wool garment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[2601,2600,2598,2599],"class_list":["post-6417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-niet-gecategoriseerd","tag-wash-a-cardigan","tag-wash-a-sweater","tag-washing-wool","tag-washing-wool-clothing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How do I wash a wool garment? - Liebo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Washing woolens?
