- Merino wool doesn’t require washing after every wear as the fibres are naturally antibacterial and odour resistant. 
- Machine wash according to care instructions on low spin using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener which coats the fibres and makes them less breathable. 
- Hang merino wool to air dry and reshape while damp. The heat from tumble driers can cause fibres to shrink. Use a pilling comb or fabric shaver to retain the fabric’s softness. .
- Help reverse signs of shrinking from older merino wool garments by soaking them in warm water with conditioner, drying and then repeating the process.
