How to Care for your Wool Clothes

Well, winter is just a couple of weeks away, which means it's time to start wearing all those stylish, warm winter garments. Many people who delight in their winter wardrobe find that wearing wool is one of their favorite fabrics. Not only is wool warm and comfy, but it is also very attractive and surely very fashionable as well.

Wool is certainly a popular fabric for sweaters. People of all ages, male and female love wearing wool sweaters in the cold winter months. Why you may ask? Simple - because it is durable, comfortable, a truly superb insulator and classy and sexy as well. Caring for your wool clothes, especially your sweaters is something that a lot of people take a great deal of pride in doing. Wool garments, especially wool sweaters and coats, can be quite costly, which is why it is so important to properly care for your wool clothes and extend the life of your wool garments as well.

We specialize in all types of garments and fabrics, including wool, and are proud of our reputation in the marketplace as one of the best all round dry cleaners for all your garments including your precious wool wardrobe.

CARING FOR YOUR WOOL CLOTHES

If you have a wool sweater that gets damp, it is important to hang it to air dry at room temperature. You should not hang your wool sweater near to any heat source, however, since this will generate mildew. In addition, each time you wear your wool sweater, make it a habit to engage in gentle brushing of your wool sweaters so as to remove surface oil on the wool.

Make certain to pay close attention to the care label on the inside of your wool sweaters and garments. If the label is suggesting that you hand wash your sweater, the experts here at McPherson Cleaners want to make certain that you use cool water and a mild soap or detergent, making certain that it is bleach free.

Soak your sweater in the soap and water for approximately five minutes and then rinse the fabric thoroughly. Then you want to squeeze out any excess water that is trapped in the sweater, but make sure you do not twist or wring the wool fabric. When you are set to dry your wool sweater, lay the sweater flat, and be certain that it is not in the sunlight or extreme heat. If your sweater’s care label suggests machine washing it, make certain to machine wash it on the gentle cycle only. Using the gentle cycle will protect the wool fabric since the spins are gentler and less in number and the cycle itself less aggressive.

These are just a couple simple but practical tips for caring for your wool clothes on your own.
