How to Care for Wool Clothing and Leather

 

Wool and Leather Care

Caring for Your Wool Clothing

Wool clothing will shrink if you do not take care when washing it or when drying it after getting it wet. You can prevent shrinkage by following the care instructions below.

  • Wash & rinse wool garments in COLD water.
  • Machine or Hand Wash.
  • Hang the garment up to dry.
  • ONLY dry the garment INSIDE your house; like in the bathroom.
  • Do not expose the wet or drying garment to the Sun or Direct Heat.
  • OR
  • Dry Clean.

Caring for Your Leather Boots and Shoes

Leather contains oils that are removed once the leather gets wet. Leather can easily be permanently damaged if you do not take care when drying it after getting it wet.

DO NOT EVER DRY YOUR BOOTS OR SHOES NEAR OR IN THE FIRE. This will COOK the leather and permanently damage it. Dry your boots or shoes away from fire or heat. Once the leather is dry, recondition it using a good leather conditioner or leather oil
