Add a ¼ cup of white vinegar in the second to final rinse water to ensure there will be no soap residue by neutralizing any that might remain. Rinse again with clean lukewarm water. Squeeze gently to remove excess water without wringing or twisting to retain the original shape and size of the garment.

Dry : Lay the garment flat on a clean thick towel and roll it up. Apply pressure and squeeze, the towel will act as a blotter., pressing as much of the water out of the garment as possible. Lay the garment flat to air dry on a clean dry towel, dry rack or dry screen. Ease the garment back to its original shape and size. Avoid excessive or direct heat. Do not hang, always dry flat. Never put wet wool in an automatic dryer, it will seriously shrink.

Never : use bleach or super washing soda on wool, they will damage protein fibers. If you need a bleaching procedure, hydrogen peroxide can be used gingerly. It is a weak acid with strong oxidizing (bleaching) properties. Vinegar and lemon juice can also be used. The minerals in your water, if you have hard (alkaline) water, can also damage wool fibers.

Wool is a protein fiber and attracts critters such as moths. A natural and safe way to repel such a nuisance, and possible degradation of your garment, is to use 100% essential oils such as basil, bay, cedar, eucalyptus, lavender, pennyroyal, rosemary, or tansy.
