How do you wash a jacket?

Every type of jacket needs to be washed differently. Air out a wool jacket first, then wash it on a special wool program or by hand.

How do you wash a coat?

Follow the steps below to clean your coat the right way. Airing is key: To keep your wool coat nice and fresh, give it a good airing. Hang the coat in a humid room to get rid of bad smells and creases. A laundry room or bathroom is ideal! The warmth and steam in a bathroom help the fibers return to their original shape. Time to wash: After airing, it's time to wash the coat. Read the care instructions on your coat's label carefully. Make sure the coat is closed and turned inside out. Use a small amount of wool detergent for delicates, as wool doesn't cope well with detergent. Wash it with cold to lukewarm water on a wool program. After washing, lay your coat flat on a towel so it keeps its shape. Goodbye bobbles: Bobbles can form on a wool coat. This usually happens in places with a lot of friction, like under the arms or around the hips. A fabric shaver or lint comb removes those little bobbles in no time! Tip: a disposable razor, which you always have at home, works just as well!
