How to air your Merino clothing.
One of the amazing things about Merino wool is the fact that it is naturally odour resistant. This means you can wear Merino many times between washes. When you do notice that your clothing is starting to pick up a smell, you can air it outdoors (or beside an open window if you don’t have an outdoor space) to help refresh the wool.
How to wash Merino wool.
Merino wool can be washed by hand or in your machine, as long as you put it to a cool setting. Wash at 30°C on a delicate wash, wool wash or short cycle with similar colours. Turn your Merino clothing inside out to prevent bobbling and use a mild detergent. If you’re using a powder, dissolve it first so it doesn’t stick to the fibres and cause holes.
How to reshape and dry Merino clothing.
Merino, like all wools, is heavier wet than dry. This means drying it on a hanger or line can cause it to stretch and lose shape. Dry it on a flat surface, preferably a towel, and reshape your garment while it’s still damp.
