Nowadays all modern washing machines have a “wool wash program” at 30 ° C. The wool washing program slowly increases the temperature curve. This prevents the wool from being “shocked” and shrinking. The spin speed is lower than with a normal wash program so that the SOXS do not have to be wrung out. In addition, the special washing program is shorter.
Although we advise you to use full washing machine drums to save energy, this is not recommended for wool laundry. Wool needs more water. A half-full drum is ideal!
Use just a small dash of wool detergent to preserve the fibers. Never use fabric softener or synthetic detergents! That would shorten the life of SOXS socks considerably.
Never put the woolen clothes in the dryer! It is best to dry the woolen laundry in the correct shape on a towel. Avoid direct sunlight, as wool is not sun-resistant when it is wet.
