Essential Care Tips for Your Woolen Throw
To keep your woolen throw soft, warm, and durable, follow these simple care tips:
-
Check the Care Label: Always review the manufacturer’s care instructions before cleaning, as different wool types may need special care.
-
Regular Maintenance: Shake out dust and debris regularly. Spot clean spills with a damp cloth, gently blotting rather than rubbing.
-
Washing: Soak the throw in cold or lukewarm water with mild wool detergent for 10-15 minutes, gently agitating. Rinse thoroughly. If machine washing is allowed by the care label, use a delicate cycle with cold water and wool detergent, placing the throw in a mesh bag for protection.
-
Drying: Never wring the throw. Lay it flat on a towel to absorb excess water, then reshape and air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
-
Storage: Clean before storing to avoid moths and mildew. Store in a cool, dry place in a breathable bag or pillowcase. Add moth deterrents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets.
-
Dealing with Pilling: Use a pilling comb or fabric shaver to gently remove any pills.
-
Freshening Up: Occasionally hang the throw outdoors on a dry, breezy day to refresh it.
-
Professional Cleaning: For delicate or heavily soiled throws, consider professional dry cleaning.
By following these simple steps, your woolen throw will remain a cosy, beautiful part of your home for years to come.
