Want to know how to look after your favourite scarf or winter cardi? Can't find the care instruction label? Here are my favourite tips to ensurse it sticks around for a few more seasons:
1. Always follow the garment care instructions. Always. No excuses. Trust me, you will want to know that your fave boyfriend sweater is dryclean only before you chuck it in the machine on a delicate cycle.
2. Check that you are using the correct laundry detergent. You need to use one that is specifically designed for wool, otherwise you may damage the woollen fibres. Try Ecostore's Delicates & Wool Wash with eucalyptus (a natural moth repellent) or Soak no-rinse wool wash. Stay away from bleach - it can dissolve wool, which is obviously a bad, bad thing.
