FAQ´s ABOUT WOOL CARE

CAN I USE SOFTENER?

We do not recommend the use of fabric softener, bleach or bleach.

The use of fabric softener coats the fibers and will reduce their natural abilities to breathe, absorb and control moisture.

CAN I USE BLEACH?

We do not recommend the use of bleach or bleach.

Using bleach or bleach destroys the fibers. Please keep it away.

CAN I PLACE MY ANDINA OUTDOORS PRODUCTS IN THE DRYER?

You can put your socks in the dryer.

However, for greater durability, we recommend the use of a gentle spin and drying under ventilated shade.

CAN I IRON WOOL PRODUCTS?

Alpaca wool recovers its shape easily after washing, you may not need to iron anything at all.

We recommend leaving your garment hanging naturally or over the back of a chair.

Products that are made of 100% wool can be ironed at a low temperature. It is better that the product is ironed on the reverse side.

Garments that are made with wool and a mixture of synthetic fibers should not be ironed.

We recommend the use of steam for ironing.

Be sure to check the care label on each garment.

CAN I DRY CLEAN MY WOOL CLOTHING?

Some Andina Outdoors garments are suitable for dry cleaning. Check your label for dry cleaning possibilities and instructions.

Please note that dry cleaning reduces the life of any garment.

OTHER CARE TIPS

PILLING - HOW TO PREVENT IT AND HOW TO TREAT IT?

Pilling is a natural process that can occur when shorter fibers work their way to the surface of the fabric.

The best way to avoid pilling is to wash your garment inside out, using a gentle wash cycle and letting it dry in a ventilated shade.

CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES AND SMELL

The natural moisture absorption and control property of the Alpaca fiber helps your Andina Outdoors products to keep you free of bad odors.

We recommend that your Andina Outdoors products be washed on a cold wash cycle with detergent, mild soap, or shampoo with socks, clothing, or accessories inside out.
