Merino Wool Care: Do’s and Don’ts
Do:

• Follow the garment care label instructions
• Wash merino wool inside out on a cold, gentle cycle
• Use a mild, wool-safe or eco-friendly detergent
• Pre-treat stains with a wool-safe remover or diluted vinegar
• Air dry garments flat in the shade
• Use a mesh laundry bag to protect delicate items
• Store garments clean, dry, and folded in breathable cotton or canvas bags

Don’t:
• Wash merino in hot water or use a high-speed spin cycle
• Use bleach, fabric softener, or harsh detergents
• Tumble dry (unless the care label says it’s safe)
• Wring, stretch, or twist garments when wet
• Iron on high heat settings
• Store damp garments or use plastic storage bags
• Mix merino with heavy or abrasive fabrics like denim during washing
• Over wash! Let merino’s natural odor resistance do the work

Garments and odor.

Merino fibers absorb and release moisture to help manage odors.
The fibers work this way in our garments the same as they do in the sheep that supply our merino. We strongly recommend that you only wash your garments using the specific care instructions on the garments label.
