It’s important to use a special detergent to maintain your wool and silk, as the formula protects the natural fibres of your textiles.
If you use an everyday laundry detergent, the enzymes do not differentiate between protein stains and protein molecules of the sensitive fibres of wool and silk and could therefore damage them.
With the right programme and the right detergent, it’s safe to wash wool and silk garments in the machine.
Delicate items of clothing that used to have to go to the dry cleaners can now sometimes be washed at home.
