Speaking of practical washing and maintenance tips, however, I would like to point out something that perhaps everyone does not know; Merino wool, for physical, chemical and mechanical reasons, is considered a living fiber so-called self-cleaning. What does this mean, that the living fibers of the merino wools used in our products swell and deflate to different levels when moisture is absorbed and released. This movement (mechanical) repels the dirt particles that are on the surface, the particular physical/chemical structure, on the other hand, allows you to absorb or neutralize a variety of foreign chemicals such as cigarette smoke or other odors for example, reasons why wool does not get dirty so quickly unlike other similar materials.
In summary, for the ordinary maintenance of our garments, we therefore recommend a vigorous bang on the outside, then leaving them exposed for a night (preferably gloomy) and collecting them the next day practically as new and without any odor, thus avoiding completely unnecessary washes. Further practical advice and curiosities on how to intervene to treat the most varied types of dirt such as wine, lipstick, urine, blood, just to name a few, are reported on our Warranty Certificate placed inside each package.
