WOOL

Wool is a material that does not need to be washed often. So, woolen coats, jackets, sweaters, do not need to be washed regularly, however 1-2 times a season washing is necessary and today we will show you what is the most correct way to wash and store your woolen.

Why don't woolens need frequent washing? There are two reasons why woolen clothes do not need frequent washing. First, wool contains a special layer around its hairs that repels all kinds of dirt. Also, wool has an antistatic property that helps it not absorb dust and dirt. This of course does not mean that it cannot get dirty, but that it is more difficult to get dirty and absorb stains than other more delicate fabrics.

Washing Washing woolen clothes requires care because there is always the risk of them bunching or overflowing. So you should wash your woolens by hand. Fill a basin with cold (to lukewarm) water and add detergent. The appropriate detergent for woolen fabrics is your baby shampoo. Press your woolen clothes into the basin without rubbing them. Leave them in the basin for 5 minutes and then you can repeat the process with fresh water if any stain persists.

Rinsing Once your woolen clothes are clean, remove them from the basin, empty the water and refill with fresh water. Here you should make sure that the water you put in is the same temperature as the water you previously put in your basin. Squeeze the woolen clothes in the water to dissolve the soapy water. Repeat if necessary and finally empty the basin and squeeze the clothes to remove excess water.

Drying Drying woolen clothes is also very important. Never hang your woolen clothes while they are wet. Spread them horizontally on the drying rack (ideally on towels at first) to dry without overflowing. Avoid direct exposure to the sun. It may take up to 2 days to dry but this way you will be sure that your clothes will not lose their shape.

Iron You should also be careful when ironing. Adjust the iron to the wool scale and be sure to use a cloth (preferably a slightly fresh one). Turn the wool inside out to iron it and don't iron it by moving your hand left and right (as you do with other clothes) but simply by pressing in different places on your garment.

Save Before storing your woolens you should make sure they are clean and dry. Put them in laundry storage bags (vacuum) and add mothballs. Make sure that the mothballs are not in direct contact with your clothes.

Caution Never hang woolens on hangers because they spill very easily.

Extra tips
