How do I wash my wool garment?

Wool is a fantastic material that has natural dirt and bacteria resistance. Therefore, wool does not need to be washed after each use. Hang up and air the clothes instead. Too much washing deteriorates the wool's properties and wears out the garments unnecessarily.

Feel free to use a laundry bag that protects your garments. We sell the laundry bag GuppyFriend in our own stores and here in the webshop. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, be sure to wipe clean and dispose of lint in the trash.
Wash with a gentle program or wool program, maximum 30 degrees.
Preferably use wool detergent and be sure to use the correct dosage. If you do not have detergent for wool, you can use mild environmentally certified detergents. Then choose a detergent without enzymes that has a neutral pH.
Avoid bleaches, alkaline substances that raise the pH value and enzymes such as proteases or amylase because some enzymes break down proteins and fats in the wool. This also applies to silk.
Avoid fabric softener. In addition to being bad for the environment, it impairs the garment's performance, especially moisture transport and drying time.
Do not tumble dry, in addition to being bad for the environment, wool garments are sensitive to high heat.
Shape the garment after washing and let it dry flat on, for example, a towel.
