Care of woolen cloths

Tweet

Winter is over; the woolen clothes are no more needed, so we kept them back for next year. In my home we have the following winter clothes of pure wool, not the synthetic poly-acrylic; they are blankets, shawls, scarfs, monkey caps, mufflers, sweaters etc., some are colored. Here are some tips, I follow; this might be helpful hence sharing. They should be washed by hand, using luke warm water and soda-less soaps, I use ‘Easy’ detergent, it is specially for woolens. I never wash woolens in washing machines; if heavy I give for dry cleaning. I never use any bleaching agent for woolens and wash the white and colored separately. I never squeeze woolens, just hang in shade, for sweaters I use shirt hangers, this keeps the shape. I don’t use hard brush for rubbing the woolens, if necessary just rub using fingers. After they are dry, I keep inside them, (some keep, dry neem leaves, dry eucalyptus leave, dry tobacco leaves inside them), fold, keep inside polythene bags, seal the mouth and keep in a box we have for woolens only.
