Wool clothing requires careful handling.

It is important to follow all recommendations to keep items in excellent condition when machine washing.

First, you need to inspect the wardrobe item.

If there are snags or pellets on the sweater, they must be removed. If this is not done, the defects will be more noticeable after washing.

Before putting items in the drum, turn them inside out. This will reduce the risk of pilling.

It is necessary to study the label, which indicates the washing instructions.

Experienced housewives know that wool cannot be washed in hot water. The optimal temperature is 30 degrees.

The mode should be delicate. You should avoid wringing and drying if you do not want to deform the material.

It is better to choose liquid detergents. Powders can get stuck in the fabric and negatively affect its quality.

In addition, it is important to remember that such items cannot be washed together with other clothes. The fact is that wool will quickly become lumpy when rubbed with other rough fabrics.
