How to

1. Start by checking each care label and garment construction. A stretchy knitted sweater and a structured woven coat should not automatically be stored in the same way.
2. Make sure the sweater is dry, fold the sleeves onto the body, and lay it flat on a clean shelf. Hanging heavy knitwear on a thin hanger for a long time may distort the shoulders.
3. Empty coat pockets, fasten buttons or zippers and hang the coat on a hanger that matches its shoulders. Look from both sides to ensure the hanger does not create sharp protrusions.
4. Allow garments to air briefly after wearing rather than packing them away while damp. Woolmark also recommends gentle brushing of suitable woven garments and giving them rest between wears.
5. Leave breathing room between coats and avoid piling bags or heavy clothing on folded knits. Choose storage away from persistent dampness and long hours of direct sunlight.
6. Before long-term seasonal storage, clean and dry garments according to their labels. If a piece has complicated linings, embellishments or unusual finishes, ask a qualified cleaner.

One more tip

Wool content alone does not determine washability or storage. Follow the actual care label and consult a specialist for unusual constructions or finishes.
