Merino Fabric Care Instructions- how to wash merino wool fabric
CAN I USE FABRIC SOFTENER?
We don’t advise it. Using softeners will coat the merino fibres and reduce their natural ability to breathe and regulate moisture and temperature.
CAN I PUT MY MERINO FABRIC IN THE DRYER?
We don't recommend using a dryer as the drying heat can be too hot and the fabric may shrink or felt. Merino fabric is best left the hang dry on the washing line.
CAN I DRY CLEAN MY MERINO?
All the merino fabrics are machine washable so we don't recommend dry cleaning.
CAN I IRON MY MERINO?
Merino bounces back into shape easily after washing, so you may find that you don’t need to iron your merino at all. Instead let any creases fall out naturally by laying your garment out flat, or hanging it over the back of a chair. However, if you do need to iron use a cool or specific wool setting and turn your garment inside out.
CAN I BLEACH WOOL PRODUCTS?
No – chlorine will destroy merino wool fibres and make those annoying holes.
OTHER CARE TIPS
ODOUR
The natural ability of merino fibres to absorb and release moisture helps to keep the fabric odour-free if worn several times and not washed.
The fibers work this way in our garments the same as they do in the sheep that supply our merino. We strongly recommend that you only wash your garments on a normal cool or warm wash cycle with regular washing powder. Hand washing can enable a residual build-up of perspiration which could contribute to an odor problem.
