How do I remove stains on wool products?

Experience shows us that you can apply wool detergent directly to the stains, let it sit and place the garment in a tightly sealed bag for 1-2 hours before washing. Wash the garment normally on a wool programme and with a mild wool detergent.

If the stains are particularly stubborn, you may want to add a little extra wool detergent when washing the garment in the washing machine.

If the stains contain colour, they can be particularly stubborn to get out, especially when it comes to light colours, and sometimes you have to give up. 

Please note that Merino wool should not be soaked - neither short nor long term. The fibres of the wool will be damaged and tenderise quite quickly, rendering it unusable. It is much better to follow the instructions above.
