Dusty Wool Coat? Six Steps for Gentle Brushing, Airing and Storage

A woven wool coat does not follow the same storage rules as a knitted sweater. Check the label, remove light dust gently, air the coat and know when professional cleaning is needed. Korean fashion brand Beanpole's coat-care guide and United Arrows' original brushing-and-storage video add visual references.

How to

1. Read the coat's care label to check whether it is woven wool and whether the lining, trims or label require specialist cleaning. Some Burberry wool coat product pages specify specialist dry cleaning.
2. Empty the pockets and remove detachable accessories. Fasten buttons or zips before storing to help the garment retain its intended form.
3. For light, dry surface dust on woven wool, gently brush lengthwise with a soft garment brush. Woolmark reserves this brushing recommendation for woven fabrics, not knitted garments. Beanpole's Korean brand-care guide also suggests brushing dust from wool coats after wearing.
4. After wearing, hang the woven coat on a suitable hanger in a ventilated area to air it. Woolmark explicitly allows woven wool garments to be hung in fresh air.
5. If rain or snow has dampened the coat, let it dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heaters. Do not scrub stains or wash a coat at home when its label requires specialist cleaning.
6. Once completely dry, store it on a shaped or padded hanger that supports the shoulders, leaving room around it. Follow any garment-specific storage instructions and avoid prolonged direct sunlight. United Arrows' official Part 2 video demonstrates brushing tools and coat storage; compare the technique with your own coat label.

One more tip

Woolmark recommends a soft brush along the length of woven wool garments and shaped or padded hangers for storage. Some Burberry wool coats specify specialist dry cleaning; do not assume every wool coat can be washed at home.
