5 rules of care for clothes made of wool

The peculiarity of woolen products is that wool is a natural material and it is necessary to take care of it as if it were its own hair. Care for clothes made of wool involves 5 rules.

Wash

Wash clothing from natural wool in cold water with gentle means that do not contain alkaline components, preferably with hands. If you have a good washing machine in which there is a mode for wool, you can wash it in a mesh bag at a temperature of 30C. Do not unscrew a wet product, it should be squeezed out slightly and put on a horizontal place, covered with a terry towel. Washing woolen things in hot water will cause it to shrink to several sizes.

If it so happens that you have spoiled your clothes with hot water, you can restore the original look with a balm for your hair. Pour a little basin balm with warm water, dissolve it and wash the product. After a good rinse with clean water. Do not be frightened by the feeling of slipperiness on clothes, it will disappear after full drying.

Ironing

For ironing wares from wool, use steam and do not touch the iron surface of the fabric. If you do not have ironing functions in the iron, iron the thing through a wet, thin fabric, without stretching it, but pressing it lightly.

Drying

Dry things out of the wool on a horizontal surface in the unfolded form. Do not stretch the product while it is wet - so you will turn the blouse into a dress.

Storage

Keep woolen clothes in a folded clean condition in a closet or box. Do not hang sweaters made of wool on hangers. To the clothes of wool is not wound up a mole, overlay it with fabric bags with lavender or chestnuts.
