Care for wool blankets

Washing wool blankets

Basic rule for all products from pure wool is to wash in cold water and gently squeeze. Use delicate cycle and low-speed centrifugation and don’t forget to reduce the wash temperature to 30 degrees when you wash the blankets in washing machine. The wool usually shrinks because of the hot water, reduces its size and appearance of the blanket is ruined. You can use regular detergents for wool and fabric softeners. They will protect your blankets, refresh the natural wool, and keep it soft and delicate.

Drying wool blankets

It’s preferable to dry wool blankets outside in summer, but if it isn’t possible, you could hang them on a clothes drying rack, so as to hang freely, to dry slowly, and to keep their shape and size..

Storing wool blankets

Since the wool blankets are usually not used continuously, it’s important to protect them from pests and moisture. Years ago naphthalene was used against moths, but this method is now outdated and carries with it unpleasant aroma, that permeates throughout the room. Today you can easily store blankets in tightly closed containers, bags and storage bags with an air suction valve. So you will not only prevent the fabric from moths, but also save space. You can also put in the bag some walnut leaves, 2-3 chestnuts or a bag with dried lavender. On the market there are numerous preparations to protect wool products from any kind of insect.
