Clothing Care: How to Wash and Dry Clothes
Our products are designed to last, but we still need your help while your garment is yours. Here you will find maintenance instructions, tips and tricks on how to care for your garment so that it can last as long as possible.
Stains:
Stains should be removed instead of/before washing the entire garment. Use a mild stain remover soap mixed with a drop of water directly on the stain. Mix well to create a lather and use a gentle laundry brush to work the stain until it fades.
Wool:
Be quick to remove the stain so it doesn't set. Work carefully so as not to felt the garment. Leave for a short while before rinsing with water.
Wash:
Wash according to the recommendations on the care label.
Washing wool:
Wash as infrequently as possible! This will preserve the natural properties of the wool and extend the life of the garment. Try to air the garment, inside and out, for at least a day to neutralize most odors.
It's also good to let woolen garments rest every now and then, by not wearing them for many days in a row.
If you need to wash the entire garment, proceed as follows:
When hand washing wool, use a maximum of 30 degrees water and a mild wool detergent. To avoid discoloration, make sure that the detergent is properly dissolved in the water before adding the garment, and squeeze gently. Wool should never be left in water for a long time. Do not leave in soapy water for more than 10-15 minutes before changing the water. Change the water several times until there is no more soap left.
The wool program on a modern washing machine can actually be gentler on your wool garment than traditional hand washing. Use liquid wool detergent.
Drying:
Avoid direct sunlight as this will affect the color, especially on cotton fabrics.
Drying wool:
Allow wool, and especially heavy garments, to dry flat to avoid stretching and fraying the fibers. While the garment is wet, it can be gently stretched and shaped to adjust its shape.
