Caring for your merino garmentsUpdated 10 months ago

We've designed our merino to be easy to care for. The Sleep Store merino can be machine washed on a wool cycle using a liquid wool approved detergent. Please remember to check your care label before you wash your merino item as instructions may vary by brand and style. 

Always use a wool approved detergent, not regular washing powder.

• Close zippers and domes to wash - these can catch and cause holes

• Wash dark colours separately

• Allow 5% shrinkage

• Machine wash 30°C max, gentle wool cycle, or hand wash

• Use liquid wool approved detergent

• Gentle machine spin dry - no higher than 800 RPM recommended

• Do not use bleach, nappy cleansing agents, garment brighteners or fabric softeners

• Do not soak or spot clean

• Dry flat away from direct sunlight

• Some merino items may be tumble dried on a low heat only - please check the label
