FAQs
Is this polo suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for insulation and temperature regulation, making it suitable for cold weather. For extremely cold conditions, consider layering it with other merino wool garments for maximum warmth.
How often should I wash my child's merino wool polo?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can often be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, or if visibly soiled. Airing the garment out can often refresh it.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can contain enzymes or harsh chemicals that strip the natural lanolin from wool fibers, reducing their softness and insulating properties.
What does 'activewear quality' mean for this polo?
'Activewear quality' refers to a denser, smoother knit of merino wool that is more durable and resilient, designed to withstand movement and regular use during physical activities while maintaining its shape and softness.
Will the green color fade?
DILLING uses high-quality dyes. However, to maintain color vibrancy, it's best to wash inside out in cool water and avoid direct sunlight during drying.
Is this polo itchy for children?
Organic merino wool, especially in activewear quality, is known for its exceptional softness and is typically not itchy. It's designed to feel comfortable against the skin.
What is the typical lifespan of a merino wool polo?
With proper care, a DILLING merino wool polo can last for several years, retaining its thermal properties and softness. The durable activewear quality contributes to its longevity.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Organic merino wool is generally very soft, so itchiness may indicate residue. If the issue persists, try a different wool wash or check for sensitive skin reactions.
Pilling on the fabric
Some minor pilling is natural with merino wool over time, especially with friction. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver designed for wool. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing and wear.
Garment has shrunk
This typically occurs due to washing in hot water or tumble drying. Merino wool is sensitive to heat. While shrinkage is often irreversible, gentle stretching while damp and laying flat to dry may help slightly. Future washes should strictly follow the care instructions.
Odor persists after washing
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. If an odor remains, it might be from a detergent residue or a very stubborn stain. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed. A soak in cool water with a wool wash might help. Check that the washing machine is clean.

Care Instructions:
To preserve the quality and longevity of your merino wool polo:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the wool fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. This prevents shrinkage and maintains the fabric's structure.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool setting) while the garment is still slightly damp. Avoid high heat.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for long periods to prevent stretching.
