Care Instructions

◆ Essentials You’ll Need

• Mild detergent for delicate clothing (neutral detergent)
• Laundry net

◆ Washing Steps

1️⃣ Turn the knitwear inside out and place it in a laundry net (this prevents surface fuzzing).
2️⃣ Use the "hand wash" or "gentle cycle" on your washing machine.
3️⃣ Minimize spin drying time (30-60 seconds in the washing machine, or gently press excess water out using a bath towel).
4️⃣ Lay flat to dry (keep the garment inside out and dry it in the shade. Shape it gently to prevent distortion and shrinkage).

◆ Important Points to Prevent Deformation & Shrinking

✔ Use neutral detergent.
✔ Avoid hanging dry (do not use a hanger).
✔ Do not use a tumble dryer.

◆ Caring for Knitwear at Dry Cleaners

• Dry cleaning does not remove sweat stains. If sweat removal is necessary, request a water wash at the dry cleaner.

How to Hand-Wash Machine-Washable Wool Knitwear

◆ Pre-Wash Tips

✔ Use lukewarm water and gently press wash
→ Keep water temperature at 30°C or lower to prevent fabric damage.
✔ Use a mild detergent for delicate clothing
→ Wool is sensitive to alkaline detergents, so always use a neutral detergent.

◆ Essentials You’ll Need

• A bucket or basin
• Delicate clothing detergent
• Laundry net (just the right size for a folded sweater)
• Fabric softener (optional – use the recommended amount if preferred)

◆ Hand-Washing Steps

1️⃣ Fold the sweater neatly before washing.
2️⃣ Fill the basin with lukewarm water (max 30°C) and add detergent, then mix gently.
3️⃣ Submerge the sweater and press-wash for about 3 minutes.
4️⃣ Drain the water, fold the sweater neatly into a laundry net, and spin-dry in the washing machine for 1 minute on low spin.
→ The laundry net should be a perfect fit. If it’s too big, tie the edges to secure it.
5️⃣ Refill the basin with fresh water and add fabric softener (if using).
→ Do not rub or wring the sweater. Let it soak for 1 minute.
→ Do not use leftover bathwater, as it may contain bacteria that can cause odors. Always use clean water.
6️⃣ Drain the water and do another 1-minute low spin dry in the washing machine.
7️⃣ Lay the knitwear on a spread-out bath towel and roll it up to absorb excess water.
8️⃣ Shape the knitwear by gently patting it, then lay it flat on a drying net in a shaded area.
→ Avoid pulling or stretching the garment.
→ Direct sunlight can cause fading, yellowing, and excessive shrinking, so always dry in the shade.

◆ Proper Knitwear Storage

• Do not hang knitwear – instead, fold it to prevent stretching and deformation.
• To remove wrinkles from stored knitwear, place a pressing cloth over it and use a steam iron for a fluffy finish.
• If deep wrinkles remain, lightly spray with water and iron carefully.
• When wearing knitwear, be mindful of pilling by avoiding friction with outerwear, bags, belts, or accessories.

By following these steps, you can keep your knitwear in excellent condition for a long time!
