step 1: washing
machine wash
- select the wool or delicate cycle.
- use cool water and a low-speed spin cycle to prevent fiber damage.
- option to place your garment in a mesh laundry bag and wash it separately.
- use a gentle, wool-safe detergent (preferable one enriched with lanolin). avoid traditional detergents and fabric softeners, as they strip natural oils and weaken fibers.
or
hand wash
- fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of natural wool detergent.
- submerge your garment and swirl gently for 30 seconds.
- let it soak for up to 30 minutes without excessive agitation.
- rinse thoroughly with cool water until all detergent is removed.
- avoid over-washing. clean only when necessary to preserve softness and longevity.
