Instructions:

  • Fill up a basin with warm water.
  • Add 5 ml/1 tsp of gentle, pH neutral soap or wool wash to the warm water (like Eucalan - avoid harsh laundry detergents as these may damage wool fibre and strip colour).
  • Submerge handmade piece in the warm, soapy water. Gently squeeze to fully saturate fibres. Allow it to soak for 15-30 minutes. For heavily soiled items, soak for an hour or more.
  • Remove the handmade piece and squeeze out excess water.  There is no need to rinse if using Eucalan.  If using soap, rinse thoroughly, gently squeezing trying not to agitate.
  • Do not bleach or iron.  Store out of direct sunlight.
