Josie Wool Scarf

The star quality service would be to dry clean your wool. We get it though, not everyone has the time or money. Don't worry, there are other options, but if you do want to treat it the best way possible, then head to your local dry cleaner.

Hand washing is the second best option.

1) Spot clean by gently dabbing with a damp cloth if there is only a small mark. Don't rub.

2) Fill a sink or bucket with cool to lukewarm water and add the recommended amount of silk/wool detergent. Do not use standard detergent—must be silk/wool detergent. (Usually liquid form and can be found at the supermarket)

3) Dunk your scarf into the water and lightly squeeze the fabric. DO NOT scrub or rub too roughly, you will felt your scarf. Rinse with clean water afterwards.

4) Squeeze excess water out. Do not ring. Roll up in a towel and squeeze more water out. Hang to dry further.

Machine washing is the third option, but as long as you're not doing it too often, it's completely fine.

1) Spot clean by gently dabbing with a damp cloth if there is only a small mark. Do not rub or scrub.

2) Place in a laundry bag and put your machine on a wool/delicates cycle. MUST use silk/wool detergent, not standard detergent. (Usually liquid form and can be found at the supermarket)

3) Hang to dry. Do not ring or twist.

Your scarf will likely need ironing after hand or machine washing.

Don't be too afraid of the iron. Just put it on a light to medium setting and don't forget about it and head off to make a cup of tea.
