Before use be sure to shake your SuperWash Wool mattress topper well or place in the fluff cycle of dryer for 10 minutes to remove some of the loose wool that accumulates during the manufacturing process. Frequent shaking and airing will eliminate the need for frequent laundering and any small stains or spills can be easily "spot" washed. When required, this SuperWash Wool product launders beautifully. Can be machine washed on the delicate cycle (minimum agitation) using cool or lukewarm water and mild detergent. Place in warm dryer for a maximum of 10 minutes then shake thoroughly and hang to finish air-drying. Can also be hand-laundered or drycleaned if preferred. Loose wool is always released during initial launderings and is no cause for concern.
As this product contains "carded wool" it cannot be successfully laundered on a regular basis. Drycleaning is recommended and be sure to inform the drycleaner the filling is wool. Any spills and small stains can be "spot" hand washed with lukewarm water and mild detergent in a laundry tub, rinsed with cool water and allowed to drain in the tub till dry enough to hang up to finish drying. Regular use of a duvet cover will eliminate the need for frequent cleaning.
Any time re-fluffing: place pillow or pillows (max. 2) in dryer with a wet (wrung-out) terry towel. Tumble for 5 - 8 minutes on "hot", remove and allow to cool before use. The steam released will refluff the wool knops.
Laundry - two choices. Unzip cover, pour loose knop fill into a large plastic bag. Launder cotton cover in machine with other bedding. Refill and use. This can be done as frequently as you desire. The whole pillow may be hand washed if needed. Lukewarm water, mild detergent in laundry tub. Gently squeeze - do not agitate. When rinsed can be "spun" in washing machine to remove excess water. Place in dryer on hot for max. 5 minutes. Remove and allow to air dry.
