Question 1

Is it necessary to wash your wool bedding?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended. Unlike other materials, wool is naturally self-cleaning, odor-resistant, breathable, and resistant to dust mites, mold, and bacteria; so often it just needs airing out.  This makes frequent washing unnecessary—and even discouraged in some cases, as it can damage the wool fibers.

Wool duvets are naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic—making them a cozy and sustainable bedding choice.

General Care Tips:
Use a duvet and pillow cover: always use a washable duvet cover to protect your wool duvet and pillows from dirt and spills.

Air regularly: shake out and air your duvet and pillows outdoors or near an open window every few weeks to freshen it up and maintain loft.

Spot clean only: for small stains, gently dab with a damp cloth and mild wool detergent. Avoid soaking the area.

Wool is delicate and can felt or shrink when exposed to agitation and high heat. We do not recommend machine washing your wool bedding.

Hand Washing (Recommended if needed)
-Fill a bathtub or large basin with lukewarm water.
-Add a small amount of wool-specific detergent.
-Gently submerge the duvet and press (don’t wring or rub) to distribute water and detergent.
-Drain and refill with clean water to rinse thoroughly.
-Gently press out water without twisting or wringing.

Drying Your Wool Duvet
-Do not tumble dry
-Lay flat on a drying rack or clean surface in a well-ventilated area
-Turn periodically to help it dry evenly
-Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources

Avoid
-Hot water – causes wool to shrink and felt
-Tumble drying – can damage the fiber structure
-Harsh detergents
