Machine Washing
- Always use a Wool Wash Detergent
Standard laundry powders contain enzymes and bleaches that can attack woollen fibres and fabrics. Your items are more likely to thin and develop holes - Use the Wool or Delicate Wash Cycle
- Be aware that when using a Warm Wash, some machines fill the tub with hot water first which is also damaging to woollen fibres
- When washing with other items, make sure all domes, zips and velcro seams are securely closed. Velcro is not Merino's friend!
- Do not use bleach
- Do not dry in direct sunlight
Hand Washing
- Fill the tub with water prior to adding your Merino and Woollen items
Avoid letting the water run directly onto the garment - Use the same temperature for both washing and rinsing
- Do not use bleach
- Do not dry in direct sunlight
Airing items regularly will avoid the need for constant washing. Varying brands and washing instructions will also differ so always check your clothing care labels.
