HOW TO WASH ALPACA PRODUCTS?

  • Machine wash cold with detergent, mild soap or shampoo.
  • Socks, clothing or accessories must be inside out.
  • Separate light from dark, as usual.
  • Do not use fabric softener or bleach
  • For greater durability, avoid the use of a dryer.
  • You can use a gentle spin dry or hang dry in the shade or sun for up to 3 hours.

If you're going to separate them from the rest of your closet, it's best to store them in zip-top boxes.

If not, use cotton baskets or boxes so that the tissues can breathe.

FAQ´s ABOUT WOOL CARE

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.

We do not recommend the use of bleach or bleach.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

  • Hand wash in cold water with mild soap or shampoo, let sit 2 hours, and rinse. The use of fabric softener is not necessary.
