With the onset of wet autumn, various wool products are also worn more regularly, which require extra attention to washing in the washing machine so that they are soft, warm and in their original form for several more years. LG Electronics expert Andris Kalniņš explains how to properly wash clothes containing wool in a washing machine.
Sorting and preparation
Before starting the washing process, it is very important to sort the laundry correctly. Separate dark and light colored clothing to prevent color fading. Additionally, it’s important to look at the wool sweater’s care label for the manufacturer’s specific instructions. If it states that the garment can only be dry cleaned, then it is best to follow those instructions.
Choosing the right detergent
Choose a mild, wool-friendly detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fibers and shorten the life of the sweaters. It’s great if you have a washing machine with a function that automatically selects the most suitable wash cycle and amount of detergent, ensuring optimal cleaning while maintaining the current condition of your woolen clothing.
Artificial intelligence – also in washing machines
There are several models of washing machines that have been affected by the artificial intelligence trend. One of them is the AIDD™ function, which uses state-of-the-art artificial intelligence algorithms to determine the type of fabric and how many clothes are put in the washing machine. This ensures a wash cycle tailored to wool sweaters, achieving the perfect balance between cleaning power and gentle care. With this intelligent feature, you can trust the washing machine to wash your delicate clothes accurately and thoroughly.
Temperature and spin settings
When washing wool sweaters, it is best to use cold water. Warm or hot water can cause clothing to shrink or tighten. Use a gentle cycle with a low spin speed to reduce the number of rinses and the risk of damage. On the other hand, if the AIDD™ function is available, it together with variable spin speed options will guarantee even washing of wool products.
Avoid clutter
While it may seem tempting to wash all your woolen sweaters at once, overcrowding the washing machine can result in inefficient washing. Clothes should move freely during the washing cycle. If your washing machine has stainless steel paddles, they will ensure gentler washing of clothes.
Drying and storage
To preserve the shape and softness of wool sweaters, it is best to let them dry on their own. It is recommended to spread woolen clothes on a clean towel or a horizontal drying rack, located further from the radiator. Once the sweaters are dry, fold them and store them in a cool, dry place. Do not use hangers as they can spoil the shape of the sweaters over time.
