How to Remove Stains from Wool Clothing – Gently and Effectively with re:CLAIM Wool Wash

Wool is a fantastic material – warm, breathable, and naturally odor-resistant. But when spills and stains happen, many people get nervous. Can you really clean wool without damaging it? The answer is yes – if you know how. In this guide, we’ll show you how to safely remove common stains from wool garments using gentle methods and the specially developed re:CLAIM Wool Wash detergent.

Why Wool Needs Special Care

Wool fibers are delicate. They can shrink, lose their shape, or become rough if treated with regular detergent or washed at the wrong temperature. That’s why it’s important to use a wool-specific detergent like re:CLAIM Wool Wash, which is formulated to protect the fibers while still effectively removing dirt and stains.

General Tips Before Treating Wool Stains

• Act quickly: The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it is to remove.

• Blot, don’t rub: Always dab the stain gently with a clean cloth or paper towel.

• Use cold or lukewarm water: Hot water can shrink or damage wool.

• Test first: Try any treatment on a small, hidden area of the fabric.
