*Hand wash Merino wool whenever possible to extend its lifespan, and turn the garment inside out to help preserve the exterior color and avoid pilling. No need to wash after every wear—Merino wool’s natural antibacterial properties help prevent odors, so clean only when necessary.

HAND WASHING STEPS:
1. Ensure the sink is clean, fill with cool water, add wool detergent (avoid softeners, bleach, or bio detergents), and dissolve.
2. Submerge the garment, gently stir, and soak for 10 minutes.
3. Rinse gently with cool water until it runs clear, then press out excess water without wringing or twisting to prevent misshaping.

MACHINE WASHING TIPS:
• Use a laundry bag.
• Wash on a cold cycle to avoid shrinkage.
• Use the gentle wash mode.
• Use a wool-specific detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
• Close all zippers and buttons before washing.
• Wash inside out with like colors.

AIR DRY NATURALLY：
• Cool, Ventilated Area: Dry in a cool, well-ventilated spot, away from direct sunlight.
• Speed Up Drying: Place the garment between two towels, roll it up, and gently press out excess water—never twist.
• Lay Flat: Lay flat on a towel or drying rack to keep its shape and minimize wrinkles. Also, reshape socks to avoid stretching.
• Use the Washing Machine on a Gentle • Spin: Always place garments in a laundry bag for protection, and use a low-speed spin cycle to prevent distortion.

DRYING MISTAKES TO AVOID
• Avoid Wringing: Wringing can damage wool fibers.
• Don’t Hang to Dry: Hanging causes stretching. Lay flat or use a suitable hanger.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat: Both can cause shrinkage.
• No High-Heat Dryers: High heat can damage wool fibers.
• Avoid Dry Cleaning: Dry cleaning can harm wool fibers.

FOLD FOR STORAGE:
Fold Merino wool garments for storage, avoiding hanging, as prolonged hanging can cause garments to deform.

USE MOTH REPELLENTS:
When storing wool garments, consider adding moth repellents (such as cedar balls or moth-repellent bags) to prevent moth damage.
