How to Care for Your Not Wool Products to Make Them Last Longer

Your Not Wool products are crafted with love, care, and sustainable materials designed to keep you cozy while being kind to animals. To ensure your knits stay in great condition for years, it’s essential to follow proper care practices. Here’s a comprehensive guide to washing, storing, and maintaining your Not Wool treasures.

Washing Your Not Wool Products

Washing your Not Wool items properly ensures they stay soft and vibrant without losing their shape. Hand washing is ideal, as it’s gentle on the fibers. Use lukewarm water mixed with a small amount of mild detergent or baby shampoo. Gently swirl your knits, taking care not to wring or scrub them.

Avoid hot water and harsh chemicals like bleach or fabric softeners. These can weaken the fibers and dull the colors.

Drying Your Not Wool Products

Proper drying prevents stretching and helps maintain the original shape of your knits. After washing, press out excess water with a clean towel—never wring or twist them. Lay your items flat on a dry towel, reshaping them as needed.

Keep your knits away from direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, which can damage the fibers. Let them air dry in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Storing Your Not Wool Products

Thoughtful storage ensures your knits are ready to wear whenever you need them. Always clean your items before storing to prevent stains or odors from setting in.

Fold your Not Wool products neatly rather than hanging them, as hanging can stretch and distort their shape. Store your knits in breathable containers, like cotton storage bags, to keep moisture and mildew at bay. Plastic bags should be avoided, as they can trap moisture and lead to unpleasant odors.

Adding natural moth repellents like cedar balls, lavender sachets, or neem leaves can protect your knits from pests while leaving them smelling fresh.

General Maintenance Tips

• Pilling Prevention: Gently remove fabric pills with a sweater comb or fabric shaver to keep your knits looking new.
• Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth and a tiny drop of detergent to clean the area.
• Rotate Usage: Rotating between multiple knits prevents excessive wear and tear on a single item.

By following these simple care tips, your Not Wool products will continue to provide warmth and comfort for seasons to come. Thoughtful care not only extends the life of your knits but also supports our mission of sustainable and mindful living.
