How to wash wool jackets?
Keeping wool jackets clean is essential, in order to protect the fabric from damage, the source of which is due to mites, that is, to microorganisms that are attracted to dirty wool. Of course, washing wool sweaters improves their appearance. However, it is worth checking the care label to ensure that it can be cleaned with water. Then, it is correct to remove the lint, using a fabric shaver or a clothes comb. If the wool jackets are stained, it is necessary to clean the stains using a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid, scrub gently, and then rinse with cold water.

On the other hand, hand washing wool jackets seems preferable, by immersing each jacket in lukewarm water in a basin, after adding about three-quarters of a teaspoon of mild laundry detergent and stirring with the palm. Soak the jacket for half an hour, then rinse, removing excess water by placing the garment on a towel and rolling it up, then laying the jacket flat. Repeat the above steps twice, before waiting for the jacket to dry and lay it on a flat surface.
