Common Sense for Maintaining Wool Felt Works

Q: How to maintain wool felt works?
A: Thanks to the unique resilience and excellent elasticity of wool fibers, wool products can be more durable than those made of other natural or synthetic fibers with regular and proper maintenance. Please follow the care instructions on the product label to maintain your wool felt items, which will ensure they retain their shape and texture as good as new for a long time.

• Regularly use a high-quality soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust, so as to keep the bright colors and appearance of the wool felt works.
• Occasionally let the wool products rest, allowing the wool fibers time to breathe and restore their natural properties.
• Wool fibers have natural stain resistance, but if they accidentally get stained, please handle it as soon as possible to avoid leaving marks. Do not use warm water, hot water, or bleach to clean stains on wool products; if rubbing is needed, be sure to do it gently to prevent damage to the fiber quality.
• If pills form on the surface due to friction, simply trim them off with small scissors; this will not affect the appearance of the wool felt works.
• When storing, clean and dry the items thoroughly first, then seal them for storage.

Q: How to clean wool felt works?
A: Wool felt works can be cleaned, but the following requirements must be followed:

• Clean with cold water and do not bleach.
• Choose a neutral detergent marked with the pure wool logo and containing no bleach.
• Wash by hand separately; do not use a washing machine, to avoid damaging the shape.
• When cleaning, use a gentle pressing motion with your hands. For dirtier areas, only gently rub them; never scrub with a brush.
• Cleaning with shampoo plus conditioner can reduce the occurrence of pilling.
• After cleaning, hang the items in a well-ventilated place to air dry naturally; do not expose them to direct sunlight. If drying is necessary, use low-temperature drying.
