Merino is naturally stain-resistant and many common stains can be easily removed, but it pays to act quickly to prevent stains from setting into the fabric.

Bedding

Stain removal should be prompt to avoid the stain penetrating the fibre and becoming fixed. Liquid stains may be removed by blotting with white paper towels or tissues; solid stains may be removed with a knife or spoon; burn or scorch marks may be removed by brushing with a firm brush.

A stain removal kit should contain white tissues or towels, approved wool detergent, dry cleaning fluid, mineral turpentine or lighter fluid and absorbent powder.

Periodic cleaning is unlikely to be needed more than once a year providing wool bedding has been aired regularly and treated promptly for spots and stains.

When appearance needs to be restored, it is a simple process of following the ‘Care’ instructions about dry cleaning and/or washing.

Interior fabrics

If something should be spilt or dropped on to wool furnishing fabric, it should be removed immediately. Most spots will vanish if they are treated immediately and are not allowed to dry in.

Stain removal should be prompt to avoid the stain penetrating the fibre and becoming fixed. Liquid stains may be removed by blotting with white paper towels or tissues; solid stains may be removed with a knife or spoon; burn or scorch marks may be removed by brushing with a firm brush.

If the stain is difficult to remove, or you are in any doubt about the correct cleaning procedure, a professional cleaner should be called.
