Care and Cleaning

It’s frustrating when your wool socks get ruined in the wash.

Worried about shrinking? Fearing they'll lose shape or unravel?

Actually, cleaning is super simple. After reading this, maintaining your wool socks will never be a struggle again.

【Will they shrink?】
Our wool socks are specially treated for shrink-resistance and shape retention before leaving the factory, so they won't easily deform after long-term wear and washing.
▶ They can be machine washed, or hand-washed by soaking and rubbing high-sweat areas; keep water temperature under 40°C.
▶ Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in the shade. Tip: Wash your socks inside-out in a laundry bag to better maintain the fluffiness and cushioning of the interior cushion layer.

【How to choose a detergent?】
⚠️ Keep this key rule in mind: Wool socks contain keratin (the key factor for antibacterial and odor resistance), and acidic or alkaline substances can break down proteins!
Therefore, we recommend: Using a neutral detergent (pH 7). Do not use baking soda (mildly alkaline), soap, bleach-containing products, enzyme-containing detergents, or fabric softeners.
