Before washing a wool sweater, be sure to check the garment label and follow the suggested water temperature and washing method. Most sweaters should be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle, laid flat to dry after washing, never hung to avoid deformation, and stored in an anti-moth closet.
Test and preparation before cleaning
Before cleaning a wool sweater, please read the care label on the garment. If you need to use a specific detergent, test it on an inconspicuous area inside the garment first to see if it causes fading or shrinkage.
Washing steps
The washing process must be extremely gentle to protect delicate fibers.
- Pre-treatment: If there is a local stain, use professional wool detergent to rub lightly; do not brush forcefully.
- Soaking and hand washing: Soak the sweater in cold water and mild detergent, press the stained area lightly, and rinse gently with clear water; do not wring excessively.
- Dehydration and drying: Lay flat on a large towel, roll up the garment, and press lightly to absorb water. Never hang to dry, otherwise, the sweater will deform due to the weight of the water.
Daily maintenance and storage
Wool sweaters should not be over-washed; daily maintenance should be achieved through correct storage. When storing, be sure to fold and lay flat, and avoid using hangers that cause shoulder bumps. When storing for seasonal changes, ensure the garment is completely dry and place it in a breathable bag with appropriate anti-moth products.
