MerinoFresh™ delivers easy-to-care shower freshness

MerinoFresh™, based on the world-first rinse and clean ‘shower suit’ technology, allows woven products made from Merino wool to be refreshed or cleaned after wear simply using a domestic shower.

Garments need only be placed on a suitable hanger, then spray rinsed in the shower for three to four minutes using clean, warm water at about 40°C. The garments can then be drip-dried, which depending on the fabric weight, normally takes approximately three to four hours at room temperature. If the garments are hung correctly and carefully on the hanger, no ironing is required after cleaning.

Provided they are not too ingrained, this simple process removes;

• smog
• dirt
• smoke
• smells
• most common water-based stains

A MerinoFresh™ garment not only looks smart all day, it also saves on trips to the dry cleaner, reducing costs and very importantly, impact on the environment.

The manufacturing process for MerinoFresh™ is straightforward. It first requires the stabilisation of the base fabric to avoid shrinkage. Next, specialist sewing and making up techniques are applied and then the garment seams, creases, trims and accessories are permanently set.

This unique package of benefits makes MerinoFresh™ technology an ideal choice for making suits, trousers, jackets, skirts and other woven Merino products designed for smart career men and women on the move.

Australian Wool Innovation is currently transferring the MerinoFresh™ technology to companies in China, India and Korea.
