How to care for products containing wool

Wool is naturally odor-resistant and in many cases does not need to be washed nearly as often as you might think.

Here are a few tips on how to prolong the life of your wool garment:

  • You can use the garment several times before washing; just air it out and let it rest for a time between uses. It gives the wool fibers time to recover their natural strength and elasticity.

  • When it does need to be washed, then follow washing instructions in the garment label, using cold water and a mild liquid detergent (even better if you have one designed specifically for wool) and dry it out flat.
