Cleaning delicate merino wool garments using a household appliance offers a convenient alternative to handwashing. This method involves specific settings and detergents to maintain the fiber’s integrity and prevent damage.
Proper machine care preserves the natural softness, breathability, and temperature-regulating properties of merino wool. Historically, wool required gentle handwashing to avoid shrinking or felting. Advancements in washing machine technology and detergent formulations now allow for safe and effective machine laundering, saving time and effort while extending the lifespan of these valuable garments. This represents a significant shift in textile care.
