Wool care guide
Taking care of wool clothes isn’t just about keeping them looking good.

Longevity
Wool is strong and durable but can lose shape and color if not cared for properly. With the right care, your wool garments stay nice and last longer.
Eco-Friendly
Wool is a natural, renewable material that biodegrades in nature. By taking care of your clothes, you reduce the need to buy new items and help the environment.
Comfort
Well-cared-for wool garments retain their warmth and breathability, so you can enjoy their comfort in any weather.
Investment
Wool garments are often more expensive because of their high quality. Caring for them ensures you get more value and use from your investment.

Looks and Feel
Well-maintained garments keep their color, shape, and softness – and look more luxurious.
Versatility
Wool works for both everyday wear and special occasions. When your garments are in good condition, you have more options to create stylish outfits.
Tradition and Craftsmanship
Wool garments often carry a sense of tradition and craftsmanship. Caring for them honors the heritage of wool production and the skill of those who make these products.
Circular Fashion
Repair, give away, sell, or recycle instead of throwing away. It’s a sustainable way to care for your clothes.
Remove Pilling
Pilling is a natural effect of wool and often appears in areas exposed to friction, such as under the arms or at the sides. Easily remove pills by hand or with a wool comb. Lay the garment flat and gently comb away fuzz to keep it looking fresh and even.
Wash Sparingly
Wash wool as little as possible. If needed, hand wash or use a cold wool cycle. Use a wool detergent with lanolin, as OrganoTex BioCare Wool & Down Wash to help maintain the wool’s natural properties. Biodegradable and eco-friendly options are recommended.
Protect During Washing
Wash in a laundry bag to reduce wear and fiber breakage.
The Guppyfriend washing bag captures microfibers that would otherwise end up in water and extends the life of your garments.
