How do I wash my wool blanket? (also includes wool filled pillows or wool comforters)
Cool water and no agitation is the simple answer. A front loading machine, cool water setting. If you use a top loading machine with an agitator fill the machine with cool soapy water,hand wash and let the blanket soak, then use the spin setting to remove the water and repeat the process with clear cool water. For either method air dry the blanket, do not put in the dryer.
We recommend “Eucalan “ Wool Wash, it contains lanolin the natural oil in wool.
