Caring for your wool blanket is easy. Please ensure you follow these instructions as carefully as possible, it is important to use only cool or cold water, be gentle, and never agitate wool. This will cause the wool to felt and shrink.
Regular maintenance
Shake out dirt or dust and leave in the sun for freshness or spot cleaning for spills if necessary.
Spot Cleaning
Recommended for spills or stains
- Create a mixture of equal parts water, vinegar (or baking soda) adding directly to the area of concern.
- Dab gently with a damp cloth to lift the stain.
- Repeat if necessary.
Deep cleaning
Machine wash
- Set machine to wool, gentle, or delicate cycle and cold water.
- Only use Eucalan detergent (available here). It is important to use wool specific detergent when washing wool for a proper clean and condition.
- Lay flat to air dry. It may require some stretching to bring it back to its original shape.
Hand wash
- Fill the tub with cool water and Eucalan detergent (available here).
- Allow to soak for 15 minutes.
- Gently press down on the blanket allowing it to then raise back to the water surface, repeat these up and down motions until water runs clear. Ensure you never agitate wool, this will cause the wool to felt!
- Squeeze out as much water as possible
Tip: we recommend using your washing machine spin cycle to remove as much water as possible. - No need for any further rinsing, Eucalan detergent is also a conditioner to help maintain the texture and look of wool.
- Lay flat to air dry. It may require some stretching to bring back to its original shape.
