Care and Washing

Damaging wool socks during washing is frustrating

Worried about shrinkage? Afraid they’ll lose their shape or fray?

Actually, cleaning them is super easy—follow these steps, and maintaining wool socks is no trouble at all.

【Will they shrink?】
Our wool socks undergo special anti-shrinkage treatment during production, making them resistant to deformation even after long-term wear and washing.
▶ Machine washable or hand-wash by soaking and gently rubbing high-sweat areas; ensure water temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
▶ Tumble dry on low heat or air dry in the shade. Tip: Turn socks inside out and place them in a laundry bag when machine washing to maintain the fluffiness and cushioning effect of the interior.

【Which detergent should I use?】
⚠️ Remember the golden rule: Wool socks contain keratin (the key factor for antibacterial and odor-resistant properties), and acidic or alkaline substances can break down protein!
Therefore, we recommend: Use a neutral detergent (pH 7). Do not use baking soda (mildly alkaline), soap, detergents containing bleach or enzymes, or fabric softener.
