Proper Maintenance

Due to the nature of the fabric, a lot of dust accumulates on woollens. Hence, it is important to brush it properly after every wash. Other methods to clean your woollens include airing or spot-cleaning them. In case you drop anything on your woollens that can leave behind a stain, take them to a dry cleaner immediately. Without proper expertise, you might ruin them completely while trying to clean them.

Use the right washing detergent

Before hand-washing any woollen, always check the label attached to it. Many brands clearly state in the labels to "Dry Clean Only"! In such cases, never hand-wash them! In other cases, always choose detergents that are woollen-friendly. Many mild yet effective cleaning detergents are available in the markets that are specially designed for cleaning woollens. Choosing the wrong detergent can ruin the woollen hoodies for men or women.

Do not hang them while drying

It is always recommended not to hang woollen clothes while drying them. Owing to the nature of the fabric, all woollen clothes absorb a lot of water. When they are hung from a rope, the fabric starts stretching due to the weight of the absorbed water. Hence, always dry woollen clothes by laying them on a flat surface. Also, never put them under direct sunlight. It will damage the fabric. Place them indoors at room temperature, away from heat.

Do not iron them dry

Ironing dry woollen clothes should be avoided always. A steam-iron is recommended for pressing. Most modern irons have a dedicated feature for ironing woollen clothes. Ensure that you always set the settings to WOOL before pressing. Also, turn your woollens inside-out and iron on the inside.

Store in the right place

After cleaning the woollens, always store them in the right place. Common precautionary measures include placing a few mothballs with the clothes to prevent any moth attack. Also, fold them and keep them on a flat surface instead of hanging them on hangers. Always ensure that the woollens are not even slightly damp as it will result in germ build-up.

Whether you are looking forward to buying jackets for men or women, or premium quality woollens hoodies, always buy from renowned sellers like Dash and Dot.
