When the cycle finishes pull the item right away and lay it flat on a towel. Gently roll the towel up with the wool item inside it. Press gently once you have the towel completely rolled up. This helps get any excess water out of the items without damaging the wool.
Lay the item out on a towel until dry. If you have a thicker wool blanket you can put it in the dryer on an air fluff/no heat setting or let it air dry on a clothesline.
Just because you have wool clothing doesn’t mean you always have to have it dry cleaned. By following these simple tips you can wash your wool at home in the machine.
Woolite Delicate Laundry Detergent
Wool Items
Start by using cold water and the delicate/hand wash cycle on the machine. Use the coldest and gentlest cycles you have. Once the machine has filled up with water add the proper amount of wool detergent. Turn the machine on and let it cycle for about 10 seconds so the detergent gets mixed in.
Once the detergent is mixed with the water you can now add the wool item. Items like sweaters or pants should be turned inside out. Then, place them in the machine and let the cycle run through.
