Accidents happen. Most wool products can be gently hand-washed. Make sure to avoid warm/hot water and to dry the item completely before use.
Smaller accidents
- Use towels to remove most of the spill.
- Smaller accidents can be spot cleaned with a soft brush and soapy water.
- To remove residual stains you can dampen the stained area (use a little lemon for additional bleaching) and place in the sun.
For larger accidents
- Clean up as much as possible with towels.Fill bathtub or basin with cool/tepid water.
- Add a bit of detergent to the water or directly to soiled area.
- Submerge soiled area and swish gently in the water.
- Drain the basin, press water out of the bedding, and repeat as desired.
- Avoid wringing or twisting the wet wool.
- To remove odors you can dilute vinegar in water and pour through the soiled area.
- Again, be sure that the item is thoroughly dry before using.
Older wool products can be washed in a large front-loading machine on a delicate/woolen cycle. We do not generally recommend this, but it can be done if you use care. We do not recommend dry-cleaning because of the harsh and toxic chemicals although our products can be dry cleaned.
