Common Issues & Prevention
-
Pills – Use a pill remover. Wash woolens gently, ≤30°C, air dry flat.
-
Discoloration – Wash colors separately, inside out, and avoid hot programs. Vinegar or color cloths help preserve vibrancy.
-
Shrinkage – Avoid high temperatures and hot dryers. Always follow care labels.
-
Distortion / Stretching – Dry flat; never hang wet heavy garments. Wool and knits especially need gentle handling.
-
Down jackets – Feathers may appear initially. Gentle wear will settle them over time.
