Basic Wool Sweaters Care Tips

• Washing Tips: 
• Hand Wash: Always opt for hand washing with cold water and a mild detergent specially formulated for wool. This helps preserve the fibres and prevent shrinkage.
• Machine Wash: If you must use a machine, select the gentle cycle and use a mesh laundry bag to protect the sweater. Cold water is mandatory to avoid shrinkage.
• Drying Tips:
• Air Dry: The best way to dry your woollen sweaters is to lay the merino wool sweater flat on a towel away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape it while it is damp to prevent misshaping. Avoid hanging wet woollen sweaters, as this can stretch the fabric.
• No Heat: Never use a tumble dryer as the intense heat will shrink and damage the wool fibres.
• Stain Removal and Prevention:
• Immediate Attention: Attend to any spills or stains immediately with cold water and a gentle wool-safe cleaner. Blot the marked area, do not rub. This will prevent the stain from setting in deeper.
• Regular Maintenance: We like to use an electronic wool cleaner. Clean the woolen sweater for gently with these hand held cleaning machines to remove surface soil and lint, which can contribute to long-term damage.

Australian Wool Sweaters Storage Solutions

• Correct Folding: Avoid hanging, as it can stretch the fabric. It is best to store your woollen sweaters folded in a drawer or on a shelf to maintain their shape.
• Moth Prevention: You can use natural moth repellents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets to keep moths and other insects away. But it is best to avoid mothballs, which have a strong chemical smell and can be toxic to your health and the Woolen Sweaters.
• Breathable Cover: During the warmer months when not wearing your woollen sweaters, place them in a breathable cotton garment bags if you must cover them, to allow air circulation and prevent moisture build-up.
