Wool products become especially relevant in winter and are associated with home comfort and warmth. If we talk about socks, then there is no equal to those that are knitted from dog hair. A sweater made of sheep's wool is therapeutic for those suffering from arthritis, hypertension, and osteochondrosis. Such products are very pleasant to wear, but when the time comes to wash woolen things , then for any housewife this process is a whole test.

There are several points regarding washing, drying and storing woolen items. If you follow these women's secrets , then your favorite sweaters, pullovers, socks and other woolen garments will last a long time, retaining their color and shape.

So:

Woolen items should be washed in a large volume of water with a temperature not exceeding thirty degrees, with detergents specially designed for wool for hand washing (respectively, everything is done by hand). Why do you need such a delicate wash. The fact is that woolen things tend to deform. But for softness, it is enough to add a teaspoon of glycerin to the rinse water. If you are washing woolen knitwear, adding a tablespoon of baking soda (when washing) does not hurt, its purpose is to refresh the color and eliminate the smell of sweat.

After you have completed the washing process, it is not recommended to wring out, especially twisting. It is better to let excess water drain and lay out to dry on a terry towel (on a table, for example). It is highly not recommended to dry such a thing vertically, or, even worse, on a radiator. In summer, in direct sun. This approach will inevitably lead to deformation of the product. The fact that the sweater will stretch is unequivocal. Therefore, be careful.

Dried things are stored folded. The vertical state (on the shoulders, or crossbar) will lead to what we wrote about above, that is, to deformation.

In general, things made of real wool are favorable in terms of operation. Wool absorbs moisture, respectively, heat transfer occurs freely, the body breathes. In addition, wool prevents the reproduction of harmful microorganisms. Therefore, wear woolen things with pleasure, and wash carefully.
