Woolen clothes can be washed both by hand and by machine. It is best to wash it by hand. Woolen clothes should always be washed in cold water only. Washing in hot water can cause the clothes to stretch and fade. Woolen cloth should be washed without mixing other clothes, so that the color of other clothes does not transfer to each other.

When washing woolen sweaters, shawls, scarves, coats, it is better to use zinc liquid detergent powder than ordinary detergent powder or soap. Because it dissolves easily in water, it freezes easily when washed. But when washing with soap and powder detergent, the soap freezes for a long time. Soap foam does not go away after washing for a long time. So it can cause itching when wearing clothes.

Soak the woolen cloth with detergent for 10 to 15 minutes, then rub it lightly, do not rub it with force like other clothes.
