How do I wash a wool garment?

The frequently asked question: How do I wash a wool garment? can be answered here.

A wool garment does not need to be washed very often. After all, wool is self-cleaning and that is why it is best to air a worn wool garment on a hanger. We advise you not to hang worn wool clothing, even if it has been aired, back in the closet between the normally washed clothes. You do not want moths in your wardrobe. Moths are attracted to worn clothing and love to lay their eggs on worn garments made of animal fibres, but they also like cotton or linen.

If you do decide to wash it, follow these simple steps: wash the wool garment inside out on a special wool wash programme at a maximum of 30 degrees, use a wool detergent without fabric softener and avoid hard spinning.

It is best to dry large items of clothing lying flat on a dry towel, this way they keep their shape. Small garments such as wool socks can be dried on the clothesline.

Never use a tumble dryer, as this can damage the fabric. You can also wash it by hand in a solution of wool detergent. This careful treatment will ensure that you can enjoy your wool garment for years to come.

Whether you want to wash a wool sweater, vest, tie, scarf, hat, baby clothes or any other wool garment, with this wool detergent, you are always right.

Tip: Order the wool detergent at the same time as purchasing your wool clothing, then you will have it at home immediately and you are assured of the right detergent for wool.
