Step 1: Preparation

•   Using a sweater comb, gently remove as many pills as possible. Making sure to only stroke your sweater in one direction.
•   Use a stain bar on collars and cuffs to tackle blemishes

 

Step 2: Handwash

•   Using a gentle detergent, hand wash your garment in cool water, lathering gently in a sink, washtub or basin
•   Gently submerge the sweater, soap evenly and then soak for 30 minutes.
•   Rinse your item in cold water until the tub is free of suds.

 

Step 3: Finishing

•   Lay out your sweater flat on a towel and roll it up like you would a sleeping bag
•   Then roll it out and lay the sweater flat to dry
