Troubleshooting
Pilling on wool fabric
Gently remove pills with a fabric comb or electric fabric shaver. Avoid excessive friction during wear to minimize future pilling.
Sweater losing its shape
Ensure the sweater is laid flat to dry after washing. If it has stretched, a gentle steam with a cool iron may help it regain some shape. Proper storage (folded) is key.
Stains on the wool
Address stains immediately. For wool, professional dry cleaning is the safest option. For minor spots, dab gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Mildew or odor
Air out the garment in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If odor persists, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
