Published in Wool Cleaning 2 mins read

To effectively use Vanish on wool, you'll need to pretreat stains and then hand wash the item. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do it:

Stain Pre-Treatment

Before washing, it's crucial to pretreat any stains on your wool item using Vanish. Here’s how:

  • Apply Vanish Gel: Directly apply a small amount of Vanish gel onto the stain.
  • Gentle Rubbing: Gently rub the gel into the stain, ensuring it covers the affected area.
  • Wait: Allow the gel to sit for up to ten minutes. Do not exceed this time to avoid damaging the wool.
  • Proceed to Wash: After ten minutes, continue with your washing process.

Hand Washing Your Wool Item

After the stain treatment, you need to hand wash the wool garment correctly:

  1. Submerge: Fill a basin or tub with cool water.
  2. Saturate: Gently submerge the wool item in the water, ensuring all fibers are fully soaked.
  3. Agitate: Gently agitate the wool item in the water, avoiding harsh rubbing or twisting, which can damage the delicate fibers.
  4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with cool water until no soap residue remains.
  5. Dry: Gently press the excess water out of the item without wringing it. Lay the item flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
