How to care for our merino wool T-shirts?
Wool is naturally resistant to stains and odours.
It is not needed to wash your wool garment after every wear. Just hang it out to aerate, and you will notice that it is fresh again.
Even with food or cigarette smell, it is enough to air the garment for a couple of hours—no need to wash.
When a deep clean finally becomes necessary, follow our care tips below to keep your merino in peak condition.
TOTAL EASY CARE
No handwash, but machine washable!
Say goodbye to hand wash. We make our merino wool garments with "total easy care" merino wool. The merino fibers undergo a natural treatment so that you can machine wash them at 30°C.
Care instructions for our merino wool T-shirts.
Wash instructions
- Space it Out: Don't overload the machine; friction wears out fibers.
- Flip & Protect: Wash inside out. Use a wash bag to prevent snags from zippers.
- Use Wool Detergent: It’s gentler on all fabrics and protects the merino fibre.
- Dose Correctly: More soap doesn’t mean cleaner clothes—avoid overdosing.
- No Softener or Bleach: These harsh chemicals damage colors and fibers.
- Luke Cold Wash & Low Spin: Use a 30°C delicate cycle. Max 1400 RPM.
Dry instructions
- Air Dry Only: Never tumble dry.
- Hang to Dry: Place merino T-shirts on a hanger or line.
- Avoid Heat: Keep merino T-shirts away from direct sunlight or heaters to prevent shrinking and fiber damage.
Iron instructions
Merino wool is wrinkle-resistant; so you don't need to iron them if you hang them neatly to dry. But if you do want to iron, here are some tips.
- Low Heat: Use the "Wool," "Medium," or 2-dot setting. High heat can cause permanent discoloration.
- Use Moisture: Use steam or a light water spray to easily release creases.
- No Additives: Avoid spray-on starch or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fibers.
Storage instructions
T-shirts can be neatly folded or hung in your closet.
- Moth Prevention: Place cedarwood blocks or lavender sachets in your wardrobe to naturally repel moths and protect your wool.
