Dry Cleaning a Wool Sweater – Keep Its Shape
Wool is a fine material, but it doesn't handle heat and agitation in a home machine well – that's when a sweater can felt, shrink or lose its shape. Professional care is built to avoid exactly that. Order online, we pick up at home or work, treat the sweater, and send it back ready to wear.
Wool doesn't handle a home machine wash
Wool can felt, shrink and lose its shape in an ordinary washing machine, especially with heat and a lot of agitation. You quickly end up with a sweater that has become smaller, stiff or matted. Professional care is suited to wool, so the sweater keeps both its shape and soft surface rather than coming out matted or stretched.
De-pilling (removing bobbles)
Wool sweaters often form little bobbles where the garment rubs – typically under the arms, along the sides and where a bag or backpack rests. We remove the bobbles so the surface is even and the sweater looks fresh again. Tell us briefly about the sweater when you order, and we'll adapt the treatment to the material.
A clean sweater stores better
Moths are drawn to wool, and food and sweat residues in the garment make a wool sweater especially vulnerable. That's why it pays to store the sweater clean, particularly through the off-season when it isn't in use. A freshly cleaned sweater is a safer choice to put away until next winter.
How to order
Choose the service and briefly tell us about the sweater when you order online. We pick the sweater up at home or work, or you drop it off at a service point or partner store – you choose the shipping method in your order. Once the sweater is treated, we send it back to you ready to wear.
